AS PER THE SHARAIH
(ISLAMIC LAWS)
THERE ARE EIGHT ISLAMIC COMMANDS
(2) WAJIB (Essential, Mandatory) |
(1) FARZ (Obligatory)
The command which is based on conclusive proof, and there is no doubt in its
establishment. (One who denies the imposition of a Farz is Kafir (Infidel) and who misses
it without any valid reason is a sinner and is liable for punishment. The conclusive
evidence is based on four sources.
(1) The Holy Quran.
(2) Hadith Shareef of the Prophet.
(3) Consensus.
(4) Judgement.
There are two kinds of FARZ
(i) FARZ-E-AIN
(ii) FARZ KIFAYA
(i)
FARZ-E-AIN
The Farz which is obligatory to be accomplished by every adult and sane person. One who
misses it without any reason is a grave sinner (Fasiq).
(ii)
FARZ-E- KIFAYA
The Farz which , if accomplished by some persons relieves others from its
responsibilities, but non- accomplishment by anyone renders all as sinners.
(2)
WAJIB (Essential)
The command which is based on presumptive arguments and there is difference of opinion or
doubt about its having conclusive evidence. One who denies it is not a Kafir but of
course, the one who misses it without any valid reason is a Fasiq, and is due for
punishment.
(3) SUNNAH (Prophet’s Practice)
The practice which the Holy Prophet Sal'am and his companions
(May Allah be pleased with them) practiced themselves or commanded to be accomplished. One
who misses it without any excuse is fit for censure and there is a fear that, he will be
deprived of the Prophets Sal'ams protection (Shafa’at).
There are two kinds of SUNNAH
(i) MUAKKADA
(ii) GHAIR MUAKKADA
i) SUNNAT-E-MUAKKADA; The Sunnah which the Holy Prophet Sal'am commanded to be practiced, which he never missed without any reason. It is a sin to miss any Sunnat-e-Muakkada.
ii) SUNNAT-E-GHAIR MUAKKADA; The acts which the Holy Prophet sal'am accomplished often but which he missed now and then without any reason. It is not a sin to miss such a Sunnat.
(4)
MUSTAHAB (DESIRABLE):
The practice which has been described as virtuous and preferable. Its accomplishment is a
source of reward but its non-accomplishment bears no punishment. The words Mustahab, a
Nafil or Tatawa are used for expressing the source of excess (in good).
(5) HALAL (RELIGIOUSLY PERMITTED):
It is an act or deed which is permissible through authentic
sources. One who thinks a halal thing as haram (prohibited, forbidden) is an infidel.
(6)
HARAM (PROHIBITED/FORBIDDEN):
It is an act or deed which is prohibited through conclusive
sources. Practising it is punishable and thinking it as permissible (Halal) is infidelity.
(7)
MAKROOH (UNDESIRABLE):
The act or deed which is not established as prohibited with
conclusive source but has been disliked in Shariah. It is of two kinds
(i) Makrooh-e-Tahreemi
It is a thing which is proved prohibited logically by a presumptive argument nearer to
Haram, doing it without any reason is a sin. But not to accept it is not infidelity
(Kufr).
(ii) Makrooh-e-Tanzeehi
It is the deed which is prohibited in a single Hadith. Not doing it is rewarded but doing
it is not punishable.
(8) MUBAH
(PERMISSIBLE):
It is an act or deed which is neither virtuous in committment
nor punishable in neglecting it.

It is narrated by Hazrat Abdullah Bin
‘Omer Raz, in Saheeh Bukhari and Saheeh Muslim, that Hzt, Nabi Kareem sal'am said:-
" The foundation of Islam is on five tenets;"
1. The first is to affirm with tongue and
heart that there is no God but Allah,
who has no partner, and Hazrat Mohammed (PBUH) is His Messenger and His
servant.
2. To offer five obligatory Namaz (Prayers) regularly.
3. To Pay Zakat (poor tax) on wealth and property every year as per the revealed law of Islam.
4. To Observe Fast (Rozah, Sowom) during the month of Ramadhan, every year.
5. To perform Haj (Piligrimage to Makkah)
once in life time, if capable, with necessary
formalities.

IMAN-E-MUJMAL (The Summary Declaration of Faith)
I have faith in Allah as He is known by His Names and attributes
and I accept all His commands.
IMAN-E-MUFASSIL (The Detailed Declaration of Faith)
I have faith in Allah and His Angels,
His Books and His Messengers, and the Day of
Judgement and that all good and evil and fate is from Almighty Allah and it is sure that
there will be resurrection after death **.
______________________________________________________________________________
** I accept with tongue and believe with my heart that God is one. He was one and shall remain one alone. All the praise is for Him and about the perfection of His attributes. He is free from decay and loss. His reality is beyond the expression. He knows ins and outs of all the creations. Nothing moves without His permission. No one is His partner. Seeing Allah with the eyes, the eyes of heart or in the dream is permissible. As per The Promised Mehdi, the desire to behold His vision is obligatory (Farz on every Momin). I also have belief in all the angels who are countless and are free from sex and are always busy in glorifying Allah and engaged in His prayer. They are the products of the light (Noor) and are free from sin. They are also subject to death (Fana). Four of them are very near to Allah. (1) Jibril (AS) (2) Mikail (AS) (3) Israfil (AS) (4) Azrail (AS). Rejection of any of the angels amounts to infidelity (Kufr). I also have faith in the Books. The real number of which is known to Allah alone. Of these Books, four are important and great Books. (1) THE TORAH, which was revealed to Hazrat Moosa AS (2) THE ZABUR, which was revealed to Hazrat Dawood AS (3) THE BIBLE, Which was revealed to Hazrat Isa, AS. (Jesus Christ) and (4) THE HOLY QURAN, Which was sent to Hazrat Mohammed Mustafa Sal'am. Apart from these, there are countless revelations of Allah in the form of booklets. Rejection of any one of these revelations amounts to infidelity (Kufr). The Quran is the book to be followed till the last day. I also accept His Messengers which are around One lakh twenty four thousands in numbers (1,24,000). Their correct number is known to Allah alone. They are free from small or big sins. They may make errors but on repentence are excused. The Apostles differ in their status. The rejection of anyone of them leads to Kufr. I also believe in the Day of Judgement which will defintely fall. The indications foretold about the Dooms day shall also appear. The rejection of the Dooms day or any of the signs also leads to infidelity (Kufr). I also accept the fate (Qadr) The good or evil is from Allah alone. But Allah is happy with good and dislikes the evil. The rejection of this also leads to infidelity (Kufr). I also accept the life after death i.e. every one will be resurrected after death on the day of judgement i.e. on the day of Judgement all the human beings, Jins & other creations shall be brought to life again and it is also true that on that day the 'Character Book' Amal Nama (The book of deeds) of the Men & Jins will be weighed and the good deeds will be rewarded and the sins will be punished. Even the smallest particle shall count for judging the deeds. This is the truth. Refusal to accept this will also be disblief (kufr).Top | Islamic Commands | Tenets Of Islam | Holy Declerations | Declerations Of Faith | Home
