 FAITH

Faith increases with obedience and

decreases with disobedience.

"Having faith in Allah" is to grasp

that Allah is the sole Creator and
Owner of everything, the only Judge.

PILLARS OF FAITH

Must be based on al-Quran & asSunnah 6 pillars of faith (rukun iman)

Belief in Allah
Belief in His Angels
Belief in His Messanger
Belief in His Books
Belief in Hereafter
Belief in Qada & Qadar

"It is to believe in Allah, His angels,

His books, His messengers, and
the Last Day, and to believe in
divine destiny, both the good and
the evil thereof."
(Saying of the Prophet, pbuh)

Faith (iman) is the state in which the

heart accepts the Truth and lives by
it. It is to believe in its six 'pillars'
such that, the lips and tongue make
the confession of the truth, and the
limbs execute what is required of
them by the truth.

Do you think your thinking, idea,

perception and behavior
according to system laid by Allah
s.w.t.?

2. WORSHIP ( IBADAH )
Worship is everything one says or
does for the pleasure of Allah.
This, of course, includes rituals as
well as beliefs, social activities and
personal contributions to the welfare
of one's fellow human-beings
And I (Allah) created not the jinn and
mankind except that they should worship
Me (alone). (Adh-Dhariyat, 51:56)

Islam requires us to submit our lifes

completely to Allah, as the Quran
instructed the Prophet Muhammad to
do:

"Say (O Muhammad) my prayer, my

sacrifice, my life and my death belong
to Allah; He has no partner and I am
ordered to be among those who
submit, i.e.; Muslims." (6:162-163)

THE CONCEPT OF
WORSHIP

A comprehensive concept that includes

all the positive activities of the
individual. This of course is in
agreement with the all inclusive nature
of Islam as a way of life.

It regulates human life on all levels:

individual, social, economic, political
and spiritual. That is why Islam
provides guidance to the smallest
details of one's life on all these levels.

CATEGORY OF
WORSHIP

1.
2.

COMMON (umum)
SPECIFIC (khusus)

CATEGORY OF
WORSHIP
1.

COMMON (umum)
All other activities in our daily life including
managing ourselves, family, community,
education, economy, politic etc.
Those activities, if it is managed according
to Islamic teachings, will be considered
ibadah and will be rewarded accordingly.
Example: respect to parents, business
activity etc.

CATEGORY OF
WORSHIP
2.

SPECIFIC (khusus)
Essential and important pillars of faith
and pillars of Islam fall under this category
Considered as fardhu ain
If specific worship is not performed, one
can be considered as non-believer
Example: Daily prayer, zakat, fasting, hajj,
etc.

Among ritual worships, Solat (ritual prayer)

occupies the key position for two reasons.
it is the distinctive mark of a believer.
it prevents an individual from all sorts of
abominations and vices by providing him chances
of direct communion with his Creator five times a
day, wherein he renews his covenant with God
and seeks His guidance again and again

Solat is the first practical manifestation of

Faith and also the foremost of the basis
conditions for the success of the believers.

and keep up prayer; surely prayer

keeps (one) away from indecency
and evil; and certainly the
remembrance of Allah is the
greatest, and Allah knows what you
do.
(al Quran; al Ankabut: 45)

Zakat is a manifestation of faith that

affirms that God is the sole owner of
everything in the universe, and what
men hold is a trust in their hand over
which God made them trustees to
discharge it as He has laid down:

"Believe in Allah and His messenger and

spend of that over which He made you
trustees." (57:7)

Take alms out of their property, you

would cleanse them and purify them
thereby, and pray for them; surely your
prayer is a relief to them; and Allah is
Hearing, Knowing.
(al Quran; al Taubah: 103)
Zakah is a means of redistribution of
wealth in a way that reduces differences
between classes and groups. It makes a fair
contribution to social stability. By purging the
soul of the rich from selfishness and the soul of
the poor from envy and resentment against
society, it stops up the channels leading to class

Siyam (fasting during the day time of

the month of Ramadan) is another pillar
of Islam. The main function of fasting is
to make the Muslim pure from "within" as
other aspects of Shariah make him pure
from "without." By such purity he
responds to what is true and good and
shuns what is false and evil. This is what
we can perceive in the Quranic verse:

"O you who believe, fasting is prescribed

for you as it was prescribed for those
before you, that you may gain piety."
(2:183)

Al-Hajj (pilgrimage to the House of God in

Makkah). This very important pillar of Islam
manifests a unique unity, dispelling all kinds
of differences.
Muslims from all corners of the world
wearing the same dress, respond to the call
of Hajj in one voice and language; LABBAIK
ALLAHUMMA LABBAIK (Here I am at your
service O Lord!).
In Hajj there is an exercise of strict selfdiscipline and control where not only sacred
things are revered, but even the life of
plants and birds is made inviolable so that
everything lives in safety.

3. ETHICS (Akhlak)
Ethics has been defined as:
"The normative science of the conduct of
human beings living in societies - a
science which judges this conduct to be
right or wrong, to be good or bad or in
some similar way."

A state where one do something

without having to put an effort thinking
before it

3. AKHLAK and
AQIDAH

Aqidah is a main foundation for

Islam, therefore akhlak cannot be
build without Aqidah.
Akhlak without aqidah is like a
court without a judge.

3. AKHLAK and
AQIDAH

Belief in Allah and belief in

Hereafter is the foundation for
akhlak/good deeds
In the hereafter, good behavior will
be enjoy the rewards and bad
behavior will be punished
Example: a Muslim who belief in
Hereafter, he will not tell lies or
backbiting

As a part of this test, God also gave

man the basic knowledge of 'good'
and 'bad' at the time of his
inception. Thus, according to Islam,
every individual has been bestowed
a clear standard of judgment of
'good' and 'evil' by God.

The Qur'an says:

The human soul - the way He molded it and

inspired it with knowledge of its evil and its
good - bears witness to the fact that indeed
he, who cleanses it [of all impiety] shall be
successful while he, who corrupts it shall face
doom.

The objectives of the syariah can

be divided into three:
1. Essentials
2. Complementary
3. Embellishments

Questions:
Why

man needs system in

their daily life?
What would be the
consequences if there is no
system/rules in the
society?
