Re: 5 pillars of islam, what are they for
The Question here SADIYA is why are they for? And they are not limited to what Sadiya only mentioned as to get indulged in drinking and fornication/adultery.
BUT to me Five Pillars of ISLAM makes one a good practicing muslim.
'Salaat' is a communication with ALLAH, remembering ALLAH in prayers is indeed receiving his blessings.
Saum - Fasting, it makes one realize about many ppl around the globe who are hungry, it teaches man/ women to be more pious by reflecting upon his actions and to improve.
Zakaat- Not only zakaat but other forms of charity are pivotal as well. It purifies your wealth as you share with others. It teaches you to be more humane, it strenghtens your faith and belief of brotherhood and helping humanity
Hajj- visiting ALLAH's house if possible (with your means) is indeed a blessings. It fortifies your faith
Shahada of course you know it's what makes ONE muslim
Hence, these pillars of Islam makes us a better practicing Muslim
