A Muslim believes in a clear distinction between the Quran
and the Traditions of the Prophet Muhammad.
Whereas the Quran is the word of God, the Traditions of
Prophet Muhammad (his teachings, sayings, and actions) are the practical
interpretations of the Quran.
Both the Quran and the Traditions of the Prophet Muhammad
are the primary sources of knowledge in Islam.
God has laid down for a Muslim four major exercises of
faith, some are daily, some weekly, some monthly, some annually and some are
required as a minimum of once in a lifetime.
These exercises of faith are to serve man's spiritual
purposes, satisfy his human needs and to mark his whole life with a Divine
touch.
These major exercises of faith are:
1. Prayer
(Salah)
2. Fasting
(Seyam)
3. Charity
Giving (Zakah)
4. Pilgrimage
(Hajj)
1. Prayer
Praying, to the Creator on a daily basis, is the best way to
cultivate in man a sound personality and to actualize his aspirations.
God does not need man's prayer because He is free of all
needs. Islamic prayers are for our benefit. The benefits are immeasurable and
the blessings are beyond imagination.
In Islamic prayer, every muscle of the body joins the soul
and the mind in the worship and glory of God. Islamic prayer is an act of
worship.
It is a matchless and unprecedented formula of intellectual
meditation and spiritual devotion, of moral elevation and physical exercise,
all combined.
Offering of prayers is obligatory upon every Muslim male and
female who is sane, mature, and in case of women, free from menstruation and
confinement due to childbirth.
Requirements of prayers: performing of ablution (Wudu),
purity of the whole body, clothes and ground used for prayer, dressing properly
and the declaring the intention and facing the Qiblah; the direction of the
Ka'bah at Mecca.
Obligatory prayers- five daily prayers, the Friday's noon
congregation prayer and the funeral prayer.
Highly recommended prayers- Those accompanying the obligatory
prayers and the two great festival prayers.
Optional prayers- Voluntary prayers during the day and
night.
Islamic prayers are for our benefit. The benefits are immeasurable and the blessings are beyond imagination.
Islam teaches people to be moderate in their lives, not leaning toward one extreme or another. Muslims pray and seek guidance from God, but they also tend to mundane matters of life. They pray during the night, but they also have time to sleep and get a good night's rest. Muslims spend time in fasting, but they also eat. There is no monasticism in Islam; balance and moderation are key.
Islam discourages extremism in either direction. Muhammad once said, “Religion is very easy, and whoever overburdens himself in his religion will not be able to continue in that way. So you should not be extremists. Rather, try to be near to perfection, and receive good tidings that you will be rewarded.”
