Re: Benefits Of Five Pillars Of Islam by Kukutente23: 1:27pm On Aug 29, 2025
The truth is that all five pillars have roots in Judaism and Jewish practices which Muhammad learned from the Jews especially in Medina
The first commandment of Moses says Yahweh is one and only him is to be worshipped
Jews used to face Jerusalem Temple when praying from wherever they are on earth
The Jews used to fast before the feast of Passover for forty days
They used to give alms and offering both to the poor and to the temple
And they used to do pilgrimage every year to the temple in Jerusalem in preparation for the commemoration of the feast of Passover

Please show me unequivocally
QUR'AN & HADITH are the 2 guidance books for Muslims.

The Hadith of Jibrīl

One day, the Companions were sitting with the Prophet ﷺ when a man (who was actually Angel Jibrīl in human form) came and asked:

1. About Islam
He said:

“O Muhammad, tell me about Islam.”

The Prophet ﷺ replied:

“Islam is to testify that there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, to establish the prayer, to pay zakah, to fast in Ramadan, and to perform Hajj if you are able to do so.”

This is where the Five Pillars of Islam are explicitly mentioned together.
