Hajj Pilgrimage to Mecca (Saudi Arabia), at least once in the life of every Muslim if he has the means to do so and health
These five obligations are the so-called "five pillars of Islam."
Shahada (Profession of Faith).
Undoubtedly one of the reasons for the success of the expansion of Islam, was the simplicity of its message, which is transmitted in the concept of the Shahada:
"There is no God but Allah and Muhammad is the envoy of Allah."
These are the words to be spoken by anyone who intends to convert to Islam (Islamic civilization). Remember that apostasy is severely punished in Islam.
Salat: the obligatory prayer.
According to Islamic doctrine, prayer must be offered five times a day. The prayers recall the permanent covenant of submission and obedience to God.
ZAKAT (Charity)
One of the obligations of the Muslims is to give annually a certain percentage of their goods to the most needy. The term Zakat comes out thirty-four times in the Qur'an. This act is performed on the day of the Ashura of the month of muharram (corresponds to the tenth day of the first lunar month). Zakat is an act of purification.
"The offerings given by Allah are only for the poor, the needy, those who care for them, those whose hearts must be reconciled, for the liberation of human beings from slavery, for those who are burdened with debts, for the cause of Allah and the traveler: it is a prescription of Allah and Allah is omniscient, wise ». Sura 9
In the Islamic economy section, we will analyze in more detail the importance of Zakat in the Islamic economy.
In addition, we will see that almost all the Muslim businessmen studied devote significant resources to philanthropic activities.
HAJJ (Pilgrimage to Mecca).
The Hajj, or pilgrimage to the Holy Kaba of Mecca, is obligatory at least once in the life of every Muslim if he has the means to do so.
For a Muslim the Hajj is a mystical, unique experience.
The best and most sublime experience that a good Muslim can experience. The total number of pilgrims in 2012 was 3,161,573 according to the Embassy of Saudi Arabia.
Ramadan / Fasting
Ramadan is also a very important period for the Muslim, they must practice fasting for a whole month, not being able to consume food, neither solid nor liquid, from the sunrise of every day until its setting, sexual relations are also forbidden.
All Muslims, regardless of their status, should observe this tradition. It is a sign of the social equality of Islam.
«Believers! You have been prescribed the fast, as prescribed to those who preceded you. Maybe that's how you fear God. " 2: 183.
