What are the Pillars of Islam?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Islam is submission to Allah through monotheism, obedience, and freedom from polytheism. It is one of the three levels of religion. Its pillars are five: testifying that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is His Messenger, establishing prayer, giving , fasting , and performing Hajj to the House for whoever is able, as stated in the of Jibreel. These five pillars constitute Islam when its mention is coupled with faith (Iman). However, if Islam is mentioned alone, its meaning becomes general, encompassing both outward and inward actions.
