What Is Islam

In brief, we can say that Islam is
:?

1-
Testifying that there is no God but Allah and that Muhammad (P.BU.H) is His Messenger.
2-
Performing prayers regularly.
3-
Paying the Zakah.
4-
Fasting the month of Ramadan.
5-
Pilgrimage to the Sacred Sanctuary of Allah for those who can afford it.

The evidence for testifying that there is no God but Allah from the Holy Quran is “Allah testifies that there is no God but He, and the angles, and those who have knowledge also testify that He stands firm for justice. There is no God but He, The Almighty, and The Wise, “
(3:18).

This means that is only Allah that is worthy of being worshipped. The negation in this Holy Verse implies the denial of any other deities to be worshipped besides Allah. Allah should have no partner in His worship and He has no partner in His Domain
.
Also, Allah says what means: “ it so happened that Abraham said to his father and to his people : indeed I absolve myself of what you worship; save Allah who has originated me and he (Abraham) left this word among his descendants so that they might turn to Allah”
(43:26-28).

Also, Allah says what means: “Say followers of the scriptures (Jews and Christians) let us come to common terms so that we will associate no partners with Him. And that we will not appoint deities from among us to be worshipped with Allah. But if they turn their back, tell them to witness that we are Muslims”
(3:64).

Also, the Holy Quran gives evidence that Muhammad is The Messenger of Allah as Allah says what means: “ Indeed, there has come to you a messenger from among yourselves. It grieves him the you suffer adversity and he is heedful of your welfare and to the believers he is compassionate and merciful” (9:128).
Evidence from the Holy Quran as for fasting the month of to testify that Muhammad (P.B.U.H) is The Messenger of Allah signifies that one should obey His ordinance and believe him in all what he tells avoiding all what he prohibits and worship Allah according to His precepts.

Evidence from the Holy Quran as for prayers and Zakah included in the meaning of what Allah said “And they have only been commanded to worship Allah as dedicated and devote monotheists and to perform regular prayers and to pay Zakah. That is indeed the true and sound religion”
“98:5).

Ramadan is: “ O! you, who believe, fasting has been ordained on you as it had been ordained on those before you so that you may have piety”
(2:183).

Evidence from the Hoy Quran as for pilgrimage is “ Allah has ordained on people the pilgrimage to His House for those who are capable of performing it and as for those who turn away in disbelief, Allah is in no need of His creatures”
(3:97).

The Prophetic Hadith confirms these five fundamentals of Islam as it is reported that the Prophet said: Islam is built on five pillars the bearing of witness that there is no God but Allah, and that Muhammad is The Messenger of Allah, the keeping of prayers, the payment of Zakah, the pilgrimage and fasting in Ramadan.

Of course, anyone who has embraced Islam to be his chosen religion on mental grounds accepted in his mind and heart, believing in one God that is Allah and that Muhammad (P.B.U.H) is His true Messenger should accept performing regularly the Islamic worships such as prayers, fasting, Zakah and pilgrimage for those who can afford pilgrimage for performing these Islamic worships is the true practical proof that he is really a true Muslim.

IMAN (FAITH) AND IHSAN (CHARITY

)

It is not enough for a Muslim to perform the obvious apparent Islamic worship, but he should act and behave according to good moralities in all what he does and in all what he says all over his life through to the end in addition to believing in Islamic beliefs and this is what is called Imam
.

Allah refers to this fact concerning the relation between the Islam and the Iman as Allah says what means
:

“It is not righteousness that you turn your faces to the east and the west, but righteous is he who believes in Allah and The Last Day and the Angels and the Scripture and the Prophets and gives his wealth in love of him to kinsfolk who ask, and to set slaves free, and observes proper worship, and pays the poor-due. And those who keep their treaty when they make one, and the patient in tribulation and adversity and time of stress. Such are they who are sincere, Such are the God-fearing”. (2:177
).

Al-Ihsan (charity) is to worship Allah as if you saw Him, and in case you cannot see Him, He sees you. The Holy Quran refers to this meaning as Allah says what means “ Put your trust in the Almighty, The Merciful for it is He Who watches you stand up in prayers and then you are among those who adore Him for He is the Hearer, the Knower” (26:217-220
).

The Prophetic Hadith refers to Al-Islam, Al-Iman and Al-Ihsan according to Omar Ibn Al-Khattab as he said
:

“When we were sitting with the Prophet (P.B.U.H), a man in white clothes and very black hair with no traces of any traveling on him though he was a stranger, came. He sat before the Prophet with his own knees close to his knees putting his hands on the thighs of the Prophet. Then, the man said: “O Muhammad, tell me about Islam”. The Prophet, said
,
“It is to testify that there is no God but Allah, and to perform regular prayers and to pay the Zakah and to fast the month of Ramadan and to perform the pilgrimage to the Sanctuary of Allah if one can afford it” The stranger said, “You have spoken the truth”. We wondered why he asked him and told him that he had said the truth (as if he did not ignore the truth before asking him). Again, the man asked, “Tell me about Iman”. The Prophet answered, “It is to believe in Allah and His angels and His books and His Messengers and The Last Day and in destiny, good and bad” Then, the man asked, “Tell me about Ihsan”. The Prophet replied, “ It is to worship Allah as if you are seeing Him even though you do not see Him, He sees you”. The man asked, “Tell me of The Hour”. The Prophet said, “The questioned does not know about it more than the questioner”. The man said, “Tell me about its signs” the Prophet answered, “when a slave girl gives birth to her mistress and you see the bare-footed and tattered needy shepherds erecting highbuildings”. When the stranger departed the Prophet kept silent for a while and he said “Omar, do you recognize the questioner? “We replied,” Allah and His Messenger know better. “The Prophet said, “It is Gabriel. He has come to teach you your religion
”.

Thus, not only is Islam a compact of religions beliefs, but Islam is a religion that applies to people the true religious beliefs as well as the true practical application of practicing life according to true religious and Islamic and moral rules that join between exterior and interior aspects of human life keeping order between the Muslim and his God, between him and other people and between him and the natural environment around him through the connection between Islam, Iman and Ihsan
