التعريف
To submit to Allah with Tawheed, comply with His obedience, and be free from shirk and its people. Its five pillars: shahādah, ṣalāh, zakāh, ṣawm, and ḥajj for the one able.
النطق: is-LĀM
الاشتقاق والجذر
From the root س-ل-م (s-l-m), meaning 'to submit, surrender, to be at peace.' Islām is the willing surrender of one's will to Allah's command.
الاستخدام في القرآن
'Indeed, the religion in the sight of Allah is Islām.' (Āl ‘Imrān 3:19)
الاستخدام في السنة
'Islām is built upon five: testifying that there is no god but Allah and that Muḥammad is the Messenger of Allah, establishing prayer, paying zakāh, fasting Ramaḍān, and pilgrimage to the House.' (Bukhārī 8, Muslim 16)
ملاحظات علمية
When islām and imān are mentioned together (as in the Hadith of Jibrīl), islām refers to outward acts and imān to inward belief. When mentioned separately, each includes the other.
التطبيق العملي
Establish the five pillars firmly. They are not symbolic — they are the structural framework of a Muslim's life with Allah.
