The five pillars We all know that Islam has 5 pillars. Salaah, fasting, the kalimah, giving zakaat and going for hajj. When building a house, it needs support structures without which it would collapse. The same applies to imaan, we need support structures to keep our imaan intact. Imagine one of the pillars of a house were to collapse. Would it not start destroying pieces of the house. Now imagine another pillar collapsing, more of the house would be destroyed. If all the pillars collapse, the entire house would be destroyed. The same applies to imaan, if we neglect 1 of the pillars of Islam, part of our imaan would start crumbling, if we neglect all, we would have no imaan left. Therefore in order to keep the house of our imaan standing we need to practice upon all 5 pillars. Zikr, tilaawat or the quraan, reading durood, doing good deeds, optional charity are like the steel reinforcement of our houses which serve to support and strenghten our imaan. Dont let your house crumble, because we wouldnt like to be homeless.
