About The Book : The portion of the creed considered in the last chapter was connected with Iman (faith); the remaining portion is connected with Din (practical religion). The five principal acts are called Irkan-i-Din, pillars of religion. They are : (1) The recital of the Kalima, or short confession of faith; (2) Sulat, the five stated periods of prayer ; (3) Roza, the thirty days' fast of Ramazan ; (4) Zakat, legal alms ; (5) Hajj, the pilgrimage to Mecca. These are all farz duties, being based on a Nass-i-Zahir, or “ obvious,” sentence of the Quran, a proof derived from which is called dalil-i- qata’1. This is the strongest of all kinds of proofs. The authorities, however, specify other religious duties which good Muslims should perform.These duties are : (1) To make the “ Umra, or Pilgrimage to Mecca in addition to the Hajj ; (2) obedience to parents ; (3 ) the obedience of a wife to her husband ; (4) the giving of alms after a fast ; (5) the offering of sacrifice ; (6) the saying of Namaz-i-witr, (7) the support of relatives. The duties numbered as (4) and (5) are wajit orders to the rich ; but only mustahab to the poor: that is, it is meritorious if they perform them, but not sinful if they leave them undone.
