Menggali 5 Pilar Makna Rukun Islam Dalam Menata Kehidupan; Perspektif Studi Islam

Abstract

The Five Pillars of Islam are the foundational teachings that guide every Muslim`s daily life. These five pillars, which are the Shahada (faith), Shalat (prayer), Zakat (charity), Sawm (fasting), and Hajj (pilgrimage), provide a framework for living a life full of spiritual and moral values. Each pillar is not only related to ritual worship but also carries profound meanings in shaping character, strengthening one’s relationship with God, and improving interpersonal relationships. Exploring the meaning of the Five Pillars of Islam in organizing daily life is essential to understand how each teaching can be applied in both social and personal contexts. The Shahada, as the declaration of faith, brings one to a higher level of spiritual awareness. Salat teaches discipline and consistency in worship, while Zakat instills a sense of compassion for others. Sawm fosters empathy and patience, while Hajj strengthens the bond between Muslims worldwide. By deeply understanding each pillar, one not only fulfills religious duties but also discovers a more meaningful, grateful life and a commitment to helping others.
