To become a true Muslim, three things are needed: Faith – Action under this faith – and the realization of our relationship with God as a result of the action and obedience.
FAITH.
Faith, designated in the Qur’an, the holy book of Islam, as Imam is the belief that Allah (God) is only worthy of worship and that Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the Messenger of Allah, and of testimony from the previous conviction. This implies:
1) Real life, exclusively, is to Allah, the man and all creation exist only because Allah wills it so.
2) Since there can be two sources of creation, because Allah is the Creator only – all of it comes from and to the come back. So all creation, including man, is the manifestation of power and glory of Allah and then of its properties or attributes.
3) The relationship between man and Allah is the Master server. As the man is to his life to Allah, – offering their worship to someone other than the “committed the greatest sin.
4) The three aspects of faith in Allah foregoing are made by the man only if it responds to the message of Allah, and that is possible if you believe in Muhammad (peace be upon him) as the Messenger of Allah
5) As messenger, he is the latest and greatest, whose arrival was announced by the Messengers, and who therefore conclude the process of revelation.
6) He is therefore the perfect ideal for humanity, the perfect server for Allah, and with it the fullest manifestation and ideally more balanced attributes of Allah
7) Believing in him means to believe in all the other prophets of Allah
8) Believe it is equivalent to believe that the Qur’an contains all the revelations sent to mankind through him, that these disclosures provide us with a guide and for us to worship Allah by following these disclosures in accordance with the method prescribed us Muhammad ( peace be upon him) and as consistent with their words and behavior, known as Hadith or Sunnah.
9) In believing in it, also means to believe in carriers of this message, angels, raised in the Koran and officials.
ACTION
Expressed in Arabic the word ‘A wrong is the manifestation in our actions, so far we really are God’s servants. Since the action required by laws and regulations which organize our individual and social behavior, disclosure and effective physical integration of these revelations in the actions of the Prophet (peace be upon him), provide both: the basis and structure of Law of human behavior, known as Shar7ah. Discounting Imam (Faith) is the central pillar supporting the entire structure, the other four pillars at the four corners are: The Prayer (Salat) – Fasting (Sawm) – Charity (Zakut) The pilgrimage (I / AJJ .)
A Muslim must pray five times a day, before sunrise, between noon and evening, during the afternoon, immediately after sunset and during the duration of twilight and just before bedtime. This means that he can not be forgetful of their dependence on Allah and remembering it, livelihood benefits, new initiatives and strength.
Fasting during a lunar month of the year every day from sunrise to sunset during the month of Ramadhan. Physically, he does not eat, smoke, drink and have no relations
sex. Spiritual, refuses to have thought, every action or expression vi. In other words, he is really made himself, striving to realize their own be some aspects of the divine character.
Charity (Zakut) implies that everything has apparently a Muslim, Allah actually belongs to a place, and therefore need someone in your party is responsible and he should be, happy and voluníariam agency, helping individuals and society when they are in a hurry. Since mankind has never been free from some form of necessity, a fixed annual amount is about earning and saving everyone.
Pilgrimage to Mecca involves the temporary suspension of all worldly activity of man and the realization of himself as a naked soul in the presence of Allah alone. This also symbolizes the unity of the Muslim Ummah and the unity of mankind.
These four together are closely linked with all other aspects of human behavior, both individually and socially. Following them and thus live a life of complete dedication to the will of Allah, a man becomes a true Muslim.
A Muslim is someone whose approach to life is imbued with this knowledge. He is addicted to life values given by the Qur’an and Sunnah. He tries to live according to the guidance provided by God. and His Prophet, and strives to promote the message of Islam by their words and actions. That kind of effort is known as Y hud, meaning hard or struggle in the way of God. This is to exercise extreme self to go personally to the teachings of Islam and work towards its establishment in society. Jihad has been described in the Qur’an and Sunnah as the natural corollary of these pillars of faith
Devotion to God implies dedication to sacrifice time, energy and fortune to promote the cause. Sometimes
necessary to give his life to preserving the religion. Jihad means readiness to give everything one has, even his life for the sake of Allah
This struggle in the way of Allah, with a light-conductive magnet scheme ‘amal (action) as a system and structure, has the following implications:
1) The man is responsible before Allah for everything he does. Allah will judge on the Last Day (of Judgement) and send it to heaven, a state of being carried further blessings, Hell is a state of suffering through which God purifies the human soul.
2) This implies that human life does not end with his death in this world. He has life after death.
3) Therefore, any human action has to be organized so that it does not have to suffer in life after death.
4) The organization of action in this world involves the organization of all facets of human existence, individually and collectively, reaching the educational, economic, political and social. The Shar-iah provides us with guidelines, rules of external behavior.
5) Which means that man is free in his will, his choice and his actions.
PERFORMANCE
The realization of man’s relationship with Allah is a spiritual aspect known in Arabic as Ihsan, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) explained as follows: “You should worship Allah as if you would be seeing, because the Yes, you see – but you can not see
Him “(according to Bukhari and Muslim). This means that any action should be executed with an eye to Allah, and if we do not find this possible, we must always bear in mind that Allah is watching us.
This recognition is considered as the basis for any real devotion. This means that the man identifies his will with God, and what he himself regards the lead completely in harmony with the divine. Consequently he began to want what is dear to his Lord, and abhor what He disapproves.
The man, then not only avoids the sins that God does not want spread around the world, but used all his energy to be removed from the surface of the earth. In the same he is not content merely to adorn the virtues dear to God but is engaged in a constant struggle to propagate and establish in the world. The man closest to God when he stands in the process of identifying the human will to divine will. This enables you to develop the divine spark within himself and to enlighten all his being with her.
The most complete example of this embodiment is the Prophet (peace be upon him). Through the constant reminder of Allah, through the love of God and the Prophet (PBUH), by obedience to the commands of Allah and his Prophet, and through a constant struggle to promote good and suppress the evil, man can reach the proximity of Allah. Contact with, and address of those who managed this closeness of God help the rest of humanity to reach this same closeness and to be active in mind and therefore do not mechanically separate and collective action, but with a given devotion of heart and love for Allah alone.
This realization is the basis of piety. This mercy is the source of honesty that is considered by Islam to be the core of the right action. People who, by Iman
‘Love and Ihsan, are living symbols of righteousness
represent the movement of reform set by the Prophet (peace be upon him) in view of rebuilding human life and bring it into harmony with God’s guidance. Such people remind the rest of humanity the real meaning of man’s submission to the will of Allah, and a society by these values in their collective life would be the ideal society that Islam wants to establish for the welfare of man final.
