Definition of Islam
0:10
It is stated in the dictionary:
0:13
"Aslama" means to submit and become a Muslim.
0:17
And Ibn Taymiyyah says, explaining the meaning of Islam:
0:21
The word "Islam" is used in two ways:
0:24
First, as a transitive verb.
0:27
Like His saying, the Exalted:
0:29
“Who is better in religion than he who surrendereth his purpose to Allah while doing good (to men) and followeth the tradition of Abraham, the upright? Allah (Himself) chose Abraham for friend.” (4:125)
0:35
And the second is intransitive.
0:37
Like His saying, the Most High:
0:39
“When his Lord said unto him: Surrender! he said: I have surrendered to the Lord of the Worlds.” (2:131)
0:42
“When his Lord said unto him: Surrender! he said: I have surrendered to the Lord of the Worlds.” (2:131)
0:45
And like His saying, the Exalted:
0:47
“Seek they other than the religion of Allah, when unto Him submitteth whosoever is in the heavens and the earth, willingly or unwillingly, and unto Him they will be returned.” (3:83)
0:51
And it encompasses two meanings:
0:53
The first is
0:55
submission and yielding.
0:57
And the second is
0:58
sincerity and exclusivity in that.
1:00
And its title is the declaration: "There is no god but Allah."
1:04
And it has two meanings:
1:06
The first is
1:07
the shared religion,
1:09
which is worshipping Allah alone, with no partner,
1:12
with which all the prophets were sent.
1:15
And the second is
1:17
specific to Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, from the religion, the law, and the methodology.
1:23
And it is the Shari'ah, the Tariqah, and the Haqiqqah.
1:26
And the pillars of Islam are five:
1:29
testifying that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah,
1:34
establishing the prayer,
1:36
giving the zakat,
1:38
fasting Ramadan,
1:40
and performing the pilgrimage to the House of Allah for whoever is able to find a way to it.
1:44
