00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.000
The Forty Hadith of Al-Nawawi.

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:

00:00:12.570 --> 00:00:16.600
I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, say:

00:00:16.600 --> 00:00:22.629
"Islam has been built upon five [pillars]: testifying that there is no god but Allah

00:00:22.629 --> 00:00:25.629
and that Muhammad is His servant and His messenger,

00:00:25.629 --> 00:00:29.629
establishing prayer, paying zakat,

00:00:29.629 --> 00:00:33.630
performing the pilgrimage to the House, and fasting Ramadan."

00:00:33.630 --> 00:00:37.820
It was narrated by al-Bukhari and Muslim.

00:00:37.820 --> 00:00:43.979
This hadith demonstrates that Islam is built upon monumental foundations,

00:00:43.979 --> 00:00:48.009
without which a Muslim's faith cannot be sound.

00:00:48.009 --> 00:00:53.009
The Prophet, peace be upon him, compared Islam to a building

00:00:53.009 --> 00:00:56.009
to indicate that these pillars

00:00:56.009 --> 00:00:59.009
are the fundamental supports upon which the religion rests;

00:00:59.009 --> 00:01:02.009
thus, whenever a Muslim safeguards them,

00:01:02.009 --> 00:01:05.010
their faith is strengthened and their religion made upright.
