70. Five Pillars of Islam
The Five Pillars are the core beliefs and practices of Islam:
1. Profession of Faith (shahada). The belief that "There is no god but God, and Muhammad is the Messenger of
God" is central to Islam. This phrase, written in Arabic, is often prominently featured in architecture and a range of
objects, including the Qur'an, Islam's holy book of divine revelations. One becomes a Muslim by reciting this
phrase with conviction.
2. Prayer (salat). Muslims pray facing Mecca five times a day: at dawn, noon, mid-afternoon, sunset, and after dark.
Prayer includes a recitation of the opening chapter (sura) of the Qur'an, and is sometimes performed on a small rug
or mat used expressly for this purpose (see image 24). Muslims can pray individually at any location (fig. 1) or
together in a mosque, where a leader in prayer (imam) guides the congregation. Men gather in the mosque for the
noonday prayer on Friday; women are welcome but not obliged to participate. After the prayer, a sermon focuses
on a passage from the Qur'an, followed by prayers by the imam and a discussion of a particular religious topic.
3. Alms (zakat). In accordance with Islamic law, Muslims donate a fixed portion of their income to community
members in need. Many rulers and wealthy Muslims build mosques, drinking fountains, hospitals, schools, and
other institutions both as a religious duty and to secure the blessings associated with charity.
4, Fasting (sawm). During the daylight hours of Ramadan, the ninth month of the ‘Islamic calendar, all healthy adult
Muslims are required to abstain from food and drink. Through this temporary deprivation, they renew their awareness
of and gratitude for everything God has provided in their lives—including the Qur'an, which was first revealed during
this month. During Ramadan they share the hunger and thirst of the needy as a reminder of the religious duty to help
those less fortunate.
5. Pilgrimage (hajj). Every Muslim whose health and finances permit it must make at least one visit to the holy city of
Mecca, in present-day Saudi Arabia. The Ka'ba, a cubical structure covered in black embroidered hangings, is at the
center of the Haram Mosque in Mecca (fig. 2). Muslims believe that it is the house Abraham (Ibrahim in Arabic) built for
God, and face in its direction (qibla) when they pray. Since the time of the Prophet Muhammad, believers from all over
the world have gathered around the Ka'ba in Mecca on the eighth and twelfth days of the final month of the Islamic
calendar.
71. Sunni Groups
Sunni : Sunni Muslims are the largest sect of Islam. Derived from the word Sunnah, which means
the examples or actions of the Prophet, Sunnis are those who follow the Sunnah. They believe in
the legitimacy of the four caliphs - Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman and Hazrat Ali
Sunni Islam is divided into four schools of law or fiqh (religious jurisprudence) Hanafi, Shafi,
Maliki and Hanbali. There are minor differences among these schools of laws.
Hanafi: Followers of Imam Abu Hanifa, the Hanafis see Quran, the Sunnah: the
ijma (consensus) and qiyas (deduction from analogy) as the source of law. Hanafis
are based mostly in the Indian subcontinent, Iraq , Turkey, and the western world.
Maliki: Followers of Imam Malik, the Malikis lay great emphasis on istadlal - juristic
deduction. It is practiced mostly i n North and West Africa.
Shafi: The Shafis are the followers of Imam Shafi and give emphasis on ijma
(consensus). The Shafia are widely scattered and form about 15% of Muslims
globally
Hanbali: The Hanbalis are followers of Imam Hanbai. This school is the most rigid
and follows the Sunnah literally
The ulama are the guardians, transmitters, and interpreters of Islamic doctrine and law.
There are fundamentalist Sunni groups called Salafists with some groups advocating jihad
Wahhabism is a conservative Salafist sect which is dominant in Saudi Arabia
Jihad means “struggle” which can be internal (self-improvement) or external against unbelievers
72. Shia Groups
Shia: The Shias are the second largest sector Islam. Followers of Hazrat Ali, the fourth Caliph
and son-in-law of Prophet Muhammed, the Shias oppose the institution of the caliphate and
follow imamate (divine appointment as mamas among the descendants of Hazrat Ali). The
Shias believe that the Prophet;’s family (Ahi al-Bayt), including the descendants known as
imams,have a divine right to rule over the community. Though a minority in the Muslim worls,
the Shias are in a majority on Iran (70 million)
The differences between the Shia and Sunnis were accentuated by the murder of Ali by the
Kharijites in 661 AD. His chief opponent, Muawiuah, became Caliph. Muawiah was later
succeeded by his son Yazid, but Ali’s son Hussain refused to accept his legitimacy and
differences between the two erupts Hussain and his followers were massacred in battle near
Karbala.
Shia Islam is divided into several branches: The Twelvers (Ashna Asari), the Akhbaris, Alawites,
the Usulis, the Zaidis, the Ismailis, Nizaris, Kojas, Mustalians, and Dawoodi Bohras. The
Twelvers are the largest group who are awaiting the return of the twelfth Iman al-Mahdi to
establish true law.
There is also a sect called the Ahmadis who are considered heretical by other Muslim groups
because the founder proclaimed himself to be a prophet Messiah in the 19th century
73. Sufi Groups
Sufi: Sufism (Arabic: َّةيِوف ُّ,)ٱلص also known as Tasawwuf[1] (Arabic: ُّفو ََّصت,)ٱل variously defined as "Islamic mysticism",
[2] "the inward dimension of Islam"[3][4] or "the phenomenon of mysticism within Islam",[5][6] is mysticism in Islam,
"characterized ... [by particular] values, ritual practices, doctrines and institutions"[7] which began very early in
Islamic history[5] and represents "the main manifestation and the most important and central crystallization of"
mystical practice in Islam. Sufis are not a third sect but a spiritual practice within Sunni and Shia.
