WHAT DOES 'ISLAM' MEAN? Part 2. English translation of a talk by Mufti Taqi Usmani DB
There are five facets of Islam, and unless a person embraces each one of them his/her Islam remains incomplete.
The first is Aqa’id meaning beliefs: for example, believing that there is only one God, Muhammad SAW is His last Prophet, and that after we die there is going to be a Day of Judgment, when we will have to account for all the deeds we commit in this life.
The second is Ibadat meaning acts of worship: like Salah, fasting, Zakat, and Hajj.
The third is Ma’amlat meaning financial transactions: it means that a person conducts all his financial transactions like buying and selling, and conducting business dealings, as per the rules of Shariah, and that a Muslims should not earn any income through Haraam and forbidden means.
The fourth is Ma’ashrat meaning ways of interacting with people: The core principle of Ma’ashrat is that a person does not deliberately or inadvertently cause hurt or distress to another human being.
The fifth is Akhlaq which means purification of one’s inner-self: It means that a person should try to get rid of undesirable internal or spiritual attributes like Takabbur i.e. arrogance, or Bukhl i.e. miserliness, and acquiring desirable internal or spiritual attributes like Tawazu i.e. humility, and Zuhud meaning not having undue love of this material world.
