• As believe or conviction resides in a person’s heart, there is a need to first express ones’ commitment verbally – declaring it to others such that it becomes a solemn pledge or a promise, as well as a sign of one’s entrance into a social & spiritual contract with the universal community as Muslim.

9



• So, the gateway into Islam is simple. Yet, this entrance – verbal declaration - leads to a whole program to be implemented so as to ‘build’ a truly Muslim personality of one who submits his whole-self to the Will of the Creator.

• So, the gateway into Islam is simple. Yet, this entrance – verbal declaration - leads to a whole program to be implemented so as to ‘build’ a truly Muslim personality of one who submits his whole-self to the Will of the Creator.

• Thus, the five pillars must be regarded as that educational/developmental program to nurture a personality.

11



• Each of these five pillars, contains the medium through which the deeper meanings must impact a Muslim – leading to yet higher consciousness of how to transform his entire life into one of complete submission to the Will of Allah. For to be a Muslim is about “being” and “becoming”. It’s about ‘haal’ (spiritual state) and ‘maqom’ (station).

12



• For to submit to Allah is to be in the presence with every witnesses of the Truth of the Lordship and Sovereignty of the One and only God – Allah, Who Alone is Deity worthy of worship; upholding and standing firm with justice, in accordance with the Way as established by His Final Messenger Muhammad s.a.w.

13



• As these five pillars are inter-related, beginning with a solemn commitment, a Muslim is to strive to fulfil all these – as these are to be regarded as a Fardh ‘Ain (a personal obligation) unto those who enter into Islam:

““O ye who believe! enter into Islam whole-heartedly (fully); O ye who believe! enter into Islam whole-heartedly (fully); and follow not the footsteps of the Evil One; for he is to and follow not the footsteps of the Evil One; for he is to you an avowed enemy.”you an avowed enemy.”

(Qur’an: Surah al-Baqorah: 2: 208(Qur’an: Surah al-Baqorah: 2: 208))

14



““There is no god but He: that is the witness of There is no god but He: that is the witness of Allah His angels and those endued with Allah His angels and those endued with knowledge, standing firm on justice. There is knowledge, standing firm on justice. There is no god but He, the Exalted in Power, the no god but He, the Exalted in Power, the Wise.” Wise.”

25



• Thus, the declaration marks a person’s commitment towards adhering to all that Islam teaches.

• It is in fact a covenant between him and Allah – to be witnessed at least by other Muslims because he will be accorded every rights and respect as fellow Muslims; as much as other Muslims have rights over him.

26



• Amongst these are for Muslims to exhort one another towards truth and patient constancy; making du’a for one another; protecting each others rights and dignity; assisting in all matters leading to al-Birr (Goodness) and al-Taqwa (consciousness of Allah) with love for one another for the sake of Allah.

27



• When a person enters or embraces Islam, his/her past sins are forgiven and erased whereas record of their good deeds remains. This is similar to Muslims whose repentance have been accepted by Allah.

• Our Prophet s.a.w. advises:

/ال .ه. إ 0ل 1ْم� ِب0 آلإ 0ُك �ماَن 0َي َج.د/د1و�اإالله1
