Pillars of Islam

The five pillars of Islam are the testimony of faith, the five daily prayers, zakah, fasting in Ramadan and the pilgrimage to Makkah. This collection gives a clear beginner’s overview of all five as a connected framework of worship, explains the evidence for each from the Qur’an and the authenticated hadith of Jibril, and shows how belief in one God underlies every pillar. For the detailed treatment of individual pillars, the Prayer collection covers salah and wudu step by step, and the Worship collection covers zakah, hajj and fasting in depth.
