In Arabic, the word "Islam" means submission, obedience, and obedience. As an existing religion, Islam requires obedience and complete obedience to Allah. In another meaning, "Islam" is translated as peace, which means that you can achieve peace of mind only through obedience to Allah.
Five main columns of Islam
In Islam, there are five main duties that were prescribed by the adherents of this faith:
- There is no God except Allah, and the Prophet Muhammad is his messenger (shahada);
- the performance of daily fivefold prayers (salad);
- fasting during the month of Ramadan (saunas);
- alms for the poor (sunset);
- a pilgrimage to Mecca (at least once) in all life
Sources of the doctrine of Islam
The main source of religion among Muslims is the Qur'an. It is understood by Muslims as the uncreated and eternal "God's word", the revelation that Allah dictated to the prophet Muhammad through his angel Gabriel. Just as the Christian God was embodied for the Orthodox in Jesus Christ, Allah revealed himself in the book of the Qur'an. The second, less significant source of creed among Muslims is the Sunna, or sacred tradition, which describes examples from the life of the prophet Muhammad. The Sunnahs are material for solving the legal, religious and socio-political problems that arise in the Muslim community.
The most important principles of the religion of Islam
The most important principle of Islam as a religion is the strictest monotheism, which is only unconditional and absolute. In the Qur'an, Allah appears simultaneously as the Almighty, Almighty, Terrible, and at the same time as a compassionate, merciful and forgiving God.
Islam in the expanded sense means the whole world within which all the laws of scripture have been established and are operating. Muslims have the concept of the gift of al-Islam, or the abode of Islam, as well as the opposite concept, the gift of al-harb, or territory of war, which is to be converted into the abode of Islam through spiritual or military jihad.
