The Forty Hadith of Al-Nawawi.

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:12,570
On the authority of Abu 'Abd al-Rahman 'Abdullah Ibn 'Umar Ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with them both, who said:

3
00:00:12,570 --> 00:00:16,600
I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, say:

4
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:22,629
"Islam has been built upon five [pillars]: testifying that there is no god but Allah

5
00:00:22,629 --> 00:00:25,629
and that Muhammad is His servant and His messenger,

6
00:00:25,629 --> 00:00:29,629
establishing prayer, paying zakat,

7
00:00:29,629 --> 00:00:33,630
performing the pilgrimage to the House, and fasting Ramadan."

8
00:00:33,630 --> 00:00:37,820
It was narrated by al-Bukhari and Muslim.

9
00:00:37,820 --> 00:00:43,979
This hadith demonstrates that Islam is built upon monumental foundations,

10
00:00:43,979 --> 00:00:48,009
without which a Muslim's faith cannot be sound.

11
00:00:48,009 --> 00:00:53,009
The Prophet, peace be upon him, compared Islam to a building

12
00:00:53,009 --> 00:00:56,009
to indicate that these pillars

13
00:00:56,009 --> 00:00:59,009
are the fundamental supports upon which the religion rests;

14
00:00:59,009 --> 00:01:02,009
thus, whenever a Muslim safeguards them,

15
00:01:02,009 --> 00:01:05,010
their faith is strengthened and their religion made upright.
