As a Muslim brothers and sisters, we are all saddles with diverse duties or the other. No wonder, the holy Qur’an stated in Nahl 16:125 that “invite people to the way of lord, with wisdom and beautiful preaching; and argue with them in ways that are the best and most gracious: for your Lord knows best who have strayed from his path, and who receive guidance”.

From the above excerpt, the fundamental duties of Muslims are outlined in the Arkan al-Islam (pillars of Islam). Faithful Muslims are expected to follow each of these duties as a show of faith. Ranging from daily and annual rites to once-in-a-lifetime feats of faith, the fulfilment of these duties is believed to purify both individuals and the Muslim community as a whole.

It is important to note that we cannot get away with merely affirming that we are Muslims and that we have accepted God as our only God and Islam as our religion. Rather, as soon as we acknowledge Allah as our only Lord and His guidance as our way of life, we take upon ourselves certain obligations and duties towards ourselves and towards others.

However, Parts of the duties expected of every Muslims are; observing Salat: prayer, a public demonstration of faith, Muslim prayers are performed five times daily: before dawn (Fajr), at noon (Zuhr), in the afternoon (Asr), following sunset (Maghrib) and in the evening (Isha)

Lastly, it is every Muslim’s duty to give alms called Zakat; include feeding the poor, aiding in Muslim missionary work and supporting anyone at all need. Also as a Muslim, we should not forget to have a duty to fast from sunrise until sunset. This entails a complete abstention from food, drink, smoking and sexual activity. Allah is great.
