Islam is built on five

Sunday, March 8, 2015

بُنِيَ الْإِسْلَامُ عَلَى خَمْسٍ: شَهَادَةِ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ، وَإِقَامِ الصَّلَاةِ، وَإِيتَاءِ الزَّكَاةِ، وَحَجِّ الْبَيْتِ، وَصَوْمِ رَمَضَانَ
Transliteration

Buniya-l-islamu 'ala khams: shahadati an la ilaha illa-llahu wa anna Muhammadan rasulullah, wa iqami-s-salah, wa ita'i-z-zakah, wa hajji-l-bayt, wa sawmi Ramadan.

Translation

Islam is built on five: testifying that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, establishing prayer, giving zakat, pilgrimage to the House, and fasting in Ramadan.

Narrated by Ibn Umar·Sahih al-Bukhari 8, Sahih Muslim 16·Nawawi's Forty · #3

One saying of the Prophet ﷺ a day.

Pair this with the daily verse, the 99 Names, and a few beads of dhikr. Small things, repeated, leave the deepest mark.
