Description
Written with a contemporary Muslim audience in mind, the creed is based on the orthodox Sunni Maturidi School of Theology, and the legal rulings upon the Hanafi Legal School. The Five Pillars of Islam are five basic acts in Islam, considered obligatory by Muslims. These are summarised in the famous Hadith of Gabriel. The Qur’an presents them as a framework for worship and a sign of commitment to the faith.
