Ibadat
(Religious Deeds)
1-Deeds
in Islam are of two main categories:
a) 'Ibadat, these are the rituals,
or devotional duties, of worship: Salat, Zakat, Siyam, and
Hajj.
b) Mu'amalat, these include all life activities related to individual,
family, society or the whole'Ummah (Muslim Community at large), political,
economic, cultural, legal, ethical..., national or
international.
2-Mu'amalat when carried out in fulfilment of
Allah's Shari'a (law) will be a sort of "Worship" in the general
sense.
3-In this pamphlet, Mu'amalat will not be dealt with. You have to
consult in each case either a book of fiqh (Islamic Low) or any well informed
Muslim scholar or authority.
4-The practical Pillars (Foundations) of Islam are
Five: 1-The Two shahadats (Confessions), 2-Salat, 3-Zakat, 4-Siyam,
5-Hajj.
