Asalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakathuhu

The 5 pillars if Islam:

1) Shahada/Declaration of Faith

2) Salah/Prayer

3) Fasting

4) Zakat/Charity

5) Hajj



The 7 pillars of faith:

1) Allah

2) Angels of Allah ( Mala’ikah)

3) Books of Allah (Kutubullah)

4) Messengers of Allah( Rusulullah)

5) The day of Judgment (Yawmuddin)

6) Predestination or supremacy of divine (Al-Qadr)

7) Life after death (Akhirah)

These beliefs have been stated precisely in Al-Imanul Mufassal, the faith in detail:

“Amantu Billahi, wa mala’ikatihi, wa kutubihi, wa rusulihi, wal yawmil akhiri, wal qadri, khairihi wa sharrihi minal lahi ta’ala, wal ba’thi ba’dal mawt”. (Note: - English “th” pronounced as Arabic “S”. Thus ba’thi implies Ba’si)

This Means:

“ I believe in Allah, in His Angels, His Scriptures, His Messengers, the Day of Judgments and that everything, good and bad(in the world) is pre-destined by Allah the exalted, and (I believe) in resurrection after death”.

It is the confession of Faith.
The above seven beliefs can be grouped into three:


1) TAWHID [Allah ; Al-Qadr ] ::Tawhid means oneness of Allah.


2) RISALAH [ Angels ; Books ; Messengers] ::Risalah is the channel of communication between Allah and mankind.


3) AKHIRAH [Day of Judgment ; Life after Death] :: Our life on earth is temporary and is meant to be a preparation for Akhirah which is never ending.

Tawhid, Risalah and Akhirah summarise the whole of the Islamic system of life
