ISLAMIC VALUES EDUCATION Prepared By: Salmairah A. Abdullah, LPT WHAT IS ISLAM? Islam means to achieve peace with God, peace within oneself and peace with the creations of God— through wholly submitting oneself to God and accepting his guidance. The term Islam derives from the three-letter Arabic root, S( )سL( )لM( )مwhich generates words with interrelated meanings, including “surrender”, “submission”, “commitment” and “peace”. ISLAMIC VALUES Islam provides clear guidance to its followers on how people should conduct themselves in their daily lives. A muslim is advised in the Qur’an to use the best of manners when interacting with others. Muslims are to be peaceful in word and deed, treat people with kindness and mercy, be tolerant and fair. Muslims embrace diversity and strive to “walk upon the earth in humility” (Qur’an 25:63) FIVE PILLARS OF ISLAM The core beliefs and pratices of Islam The framework of a muslim’s life The testimony of faith, prayer, giving zakat (support of the needy), fasting during ramadhan and the pilgrimage to Makkah (at least once in their lifetime for those who are able) SHAHADA “”أشهد أن ال إله إال هللا وأشهد أن محمدا رسول هللا “Ash-hadu alla ilaha illa Allah, wa ash-hadu anna anna Muhammadan Rasulullah”
“There is no true god (deity) but God (Allah), and
Muhammad is the messenger (Prophet) of God.”
The testimony of Faith is called the ‘Shahada’ (the
profession of Faith). A simple formula that should be said with conviction to convrt to Islam. This testimony of faith is the most important pillar of Islam. PRAYER (SALAH) Prayer (Salat) Muslims pray facing Mecca five times a day: at dawn, noon, mid-afternoon, sunset, and after dark. Prayer includes a recitation of the opening chapter (sura) of the Qur'an, and is sometimes performed on a small rug or mat used expressly for this purpose. Muslims can pray individually at any location or together in a mosque, where a leader in prayer ( imam) guides the congregation. Men gather in the mosque for the noonday prayer on Friday; women are welcome but not obliged to participate. After the prayer, a sermon focuses on a passage from the Qur'an, followed by prayers by the imam and a discussion of a particular religious topic. ALMSGIVING (ZAKAH) In accordance with Islamic law, Muslims donate a fixed portion of their income to community members in need. Many rulers and wealthy Muslims build mosques, drinking fountains, hospitals, schools, and other institutions both as a religious duty and to secure the blessings associated with charity. FASTING (SAWM) During the daylight hours of Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, all healthy adult Muslims are required to abstain from food and drink. Through this temporary deprivation, they renew their awareness of and gratitude for everything God has provided in their lives— including the Qur'an, which was first revealed during this month. During Ramadan they share the hunger and thirst of the needy as a reminder of the religious duty to help those less fortunate. RAMADHAN Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. The exact dates of Ramadan change every year. This is because Islam uses a calendar based on the cycles of the Moon. Ramadan, the ninth month of the Muslim calendar, is one of the most sacred times for Muslims. It is the month in which it is believed that the Holy Qur'an was sent down from heaven "as a guidance for men and women, a declaration of direction, and a means of salvation.“
During this month, Muslims observe a strict fast from dawn until sunset. They are not allowed to eat or drink (even water) during daylight hours. Fasting is a private act of worship bringing about nearness to God, as well as a form of spiritual discipline and a means to empathize with those less fortunate. The fasting is broken at the end of the day with prayer and a festive meal called an iftar. It is customary to visit family and friends following the iftar. During Ramadan, many Muslims go to the mosque and spend several hours praying. In addition to the five daily prayers that are part of the core of Islam, Muslims recite a special prayer called the Tarawih prayer (night prayer).
On the evening of the 27th day of Ramadan, Muslims observe a
special night called Layat al-Qadr, sometimes referred to as the Night of Power. It is believed that Muhammad first received the Holy Qur'an on this night.
At the end of Ramadan, Eid al-Fitr celebrates the breaking of the
fast. Friends and families gather for festive meals and exchange gifts. Special gifts are also given to the poor. PILGRIMAGE (HAJJ) The annual pilgrimage (Hajj) to Makkah, is an obligation once in a lifetime for tjose who are physically and financially able to perform it.
About 2 million people go to Makkah each year from
every corner of the globe. Although makkah is always filled with visitors. The annual Haj is perfomed in the 12 month of the islamic calendar. Thank You!
