حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَى، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا حَنْظَلَةُ بْنُ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رضى الله عنهما

قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «بُنِيَ الإِسْلَامُ عَلَى خَمْسٍ شَهَادَةِ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ، وَإِقَامِ الصَّلَاةِ، وَإِيتَاءِ الزَّكَاةِ، وَالْحَجِّ، وَصَوْمِ رَمَضَانَ»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: Islam is based on (the following) five (principles): 1. To testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam). 2. To offer the (compulsory congregational) prayers dutifully and perfectly. 3. To pay Zakat (i.e. obligatory charity). 4. To perform Hajj. (i.e. Pilgrimage to Mecca) 5. To observe fast during the month of Ramadan.

ইবন ‘উমার (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, আল্লাহর রাসূল সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম ইরশাদ করেন, ইসলামের স্তম্ভ হচ্ছে পাঁচটি। ১. আল্লাহ্ ব্যতীত প্রকৃত কোন উপাস্য নেই এবং নিশ্চয়ই মুহাম্মাদ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম আল্লাহর রাসূল-এ কথার সাক্ষ্য প্রদান করা। ২. সালাত কায়িম করা। ৩. যাকাত আদায় করা। ৪. হাজ্জ সম্পাদন করা এবং ৫. রমাযানের সিয়ামব্রত পালন করা। (৪৫১৪; মুসলিম ১/৫ হাঃ ১৬, আহমাদ ৬০২২, ৬৩০৯)

ہم سے عبیداللہ بن موسیٰ نے یہ حدیث بیان کی۔ انہوں نے کہا کہ ہمیں اس کی بابت حنظلہ بن ابی سفیان نے خبر دی۔ انہوں نے عکرمہ بن خالد سے روایت کی انہوں نے عبداللہ بن عمر رضی اللہ عنہما سے روایت کی کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا اسلام کی بنیاد پانچ چیزوں پر قائم کی گئی ہے۔

اول گواہی دینا کہ اللہ کے سوا کوئی معبود نہیں اور بیشک محمد صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم اللہ کے سچے رسول ہیں اور نماز قائم کرنا اور زکوٰۃ ادا کرنا اور حج کرنا اور رمضان کے روزے رکھنا۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abdullah bin Musa] dia berkata, telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Hanzhalah bin Abu Sufyan] dari ['Ikrimah bin Khalid] dari [Ibnu Umar] berkata: Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Islam dibangun diatas lima (landasan); persaksian tidak ada ilah selain Allah dan sesungguhnya Muhammad utusan Allah, mendirikan shalat, menunaikan zakat, haji dan puasa Ramadlan

İbn-i Ömer r.a.’den Resulullah sallallahu aleyhi ve sellem buyurdu ki: İslam beş şey üzerine bina olunmuştur: Allah`dan başka ilâh olmadığına ve Muhammed`in (sallallahu aleyhi ve sellem)'in Allâh`ın Resulü olduğuna Şahadet etmek, Namaz kılmak, Zekat vermek, Haccetmek, Ramazan orucunu tutmaktır.

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) likened Islam to a well-built structure based on five pillars that carry it and the rest of its characteristics complement the structure. First pillar: The two testimonies of faith; testifying that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. These two testimonies constitute one pillar as they are both inseparable.

The slave utters the two testimonies of faith acknowledging the oneness of Allah and His exclusive worthiness of worship apart from others, acting upon their requirements, believing in the message of Muhammad (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him), and following him. Second pillar: Establishing the prayer, which refers to the five obligatory prayers that are to be observed every day and night and they are: Fajr (morning), Zhuhr (noon), ‘Asr (afternoon), Maghrib (sunset), and ‘Ishā’ (night), along with observing their conditions, pillars, and obligatory acts.

Third pillar: Giving the obligatory Zakah, which is an obligatory financial act of worship due on every type of property that has reached the limit prescribed by Shariah and it is to be given to those entitled to it. Fourth pillar: Performing Hajj, which is travelling to Makkah to perform the rituals as a means of worshipping Allah Almighty.

Fifth pillar: Fasting Ramadān, which is abstaining from food, drink, and other invalidators from the break of dawn until sunset with the intention of worshipping Allah.

What it teaches

  • The two testimonies of faith are inseparable, i.e., none of them is valid without the other; hence, he considered them one pillar.
  • The two testimonies of faith are the core of the religion; hence, they are essential for the validity of any saying or deed.
