(In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful)
THE
FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPT
OF ISLAM
WHAT IS ISLAM?
• Comes from an Arabic root word
meaning "peace" and "submission."
• The religion of Islam is the acceptance
of and obedience to the teachings of God
which He revealed to His last prophet,
Muhammad.
FOUNDATION OF
ISLAMIC SYSTEMS

Aqidah (Belief)
Ibadah (Worship)
Akhlak (Ethics)
1. BELIEF (Aqidah)
Definition:
“The acceptance of and obedience to
the teachings of God which He
revealed to His last prophet,
Muhammad SAW.”
Belief in truth and values that is fixed and
permanent, certain and sacred. It is a belief
that strongly kept by oneself that cannot
be distorted by anything at any time.
Kepercayaan atau keimanan kepada hakikat-hakikat dan nilainilai yang mutlak, yang tetap dan kekal, yang pasti dan suci
seperti yang diwajibkan Islam; iaitu kepercayaan yang
tersimpul dengan kukuh dalam jiwa sehingga tidak mungkin
akan terurai atau tertutup walau oleh apa jua keadaan dan
suasana
An institution can be illustrated as a complete
building
Without strong foundation/base, the building
cannot be build and cannot stand on its own
Aqidah is considered the foundation that can
support the development of an Islamic
institution.
AQIDAH VS IDEOLOGY
AQIDAH
IDEOLOGY
Faith stays fixed in heart
Resides in mind, fantasy and
imagination
Permanent truthfulness
Relative in nature, may be right and
may be wrong
Steadfast and resolute in upholding
the belief.
Inconstant, easily get influenced by
environment
Peace of mind, may gain happiness
for being in right path
Happy while right, depress while
wrong
Poise, calm in facing everything,
good or bad.
Full of ambiguity
MEANING OF FAITH
(IMAN)
The utterance of the tongue, heart
and the action of the limbs
according to the teachings of God
which He revealed to His last
prophet, Muhammad
…FAITH
 Faith increases with obedience and
decreases with disobedience.
 "Having faith in Allah" is to grasp that
Allah is the sole Creator and Owner of
everything, the only Judge.
PILLARS OF FAITH

Must be based on al-Qur’an & as-Sunnah –
6 pillars of faith (rukun iman)
– Belief in Allah
– Belief in His Angels
– Belief in His Messanger
– Belief in His Books
– Belief in Hereafter
– Belief in Qada’ & Qadar
"It is to believe in Allah, His angels, His
books, His messengers, and the Last
Day, and to believe in divine destiny,
both the good and the evil thereof."
(Saying of the Prophet, pbuh)

Faith (iman) is the state in which the heart
accepts the Truth and lives by it. It is to
believe in its six 'pillars' such that, the lips
and tongue make the confession of the
truth, and the limbs execute what is
required of them by the truth.

Do you think your thinking, idea,
perception and behavior according to
system laid by Allah s.w.t.?
2. WORSHIP (IBADAH)
Worship is everything one says or
does for the pleasure of Allah.
This, of course, includes rituals as
well as beliefs, social activities and
personal contributions to the welfare
of one's fellow human-beings
“And I (Allah) created not the jinn and
mankind except that they should worship
Me (alone)”. (Adh-Dhariyat, 51:56)

Islam requires us to submit our lifes
completely to Allah, as the Quran
instructed the Prophet Muhammad to
do:
"Say (O Muhammad) my prayer, my
sacrifice, my life and my death belong
to Allah; He has no partner and I am
ordered to be among those who
submit, i.e.; Muslims." (6:162-163)
THE CONCEPT OF WORSHIP


A comprehensive concept that includes all
the positive activities of the individual.
This of course is in agreement with all
inclusive nature of Islam as a way of life.
It regulates human life at all levels:
individual, social, economic, political and
spiritual. That is why Islam provides
guidance to the smallest details of one's
life on all these levels.
CATEGORY OF WORSHIP
1.
2.
COMMON (umum)
SPECIFIC (khusus)
CATEGORY OF WORSHIP
1.
COMMON (umum)
– All other activities in our daily life including
managing ourselves, family, community,
education, economy, politic etc.
– Those activities, if it is managed according to
Islamic teachings, will be considered ‘ibadah’
and will be rewarded accordingly.
– Example: respect to parents, business activity
etc.
CATEGORY OF WORSHIP
2.
SPECIFIC (khusus)
– Essential and important – pillars of faith and
pillars of Islam fall under this category
– Considered as fardhu ‘ain
– If specific worship is not performed, one can
be considered as non-believer
– Example: Daily prayer, zakat, fasting, hajj,
etc.

Among ritual worships, Solat (ritual prayer)
occupies the key position for two reasons.
– it is the distinctive mark of a believer.
– it prevents an individual from all sorts of
abominations and vices by providing him chances of
direct communion with his Creator five times a day,
wherein he renews his covenant with God and seeks
His guidance again and again

Solat is the first practical manifestation of Faith
and also the foremost of the basis conditions for
the success of the believers.
“…and keep up prayer; surely prayer
keeps (one) away from indecency and
evil; and certainly the remembrance of
Allah is the greatest, and Allah knows
what you do.”
(al Quran; al Ankabut: 45)

Zakat is a manifestation of faith that
affirms that God is the sole owner of
everything in the universe, and what men
hold is a trust in their hand over which God
made them trustees to discharge it as He
has laid down:
"Believe in Allah and His messenger and spend
of that over which He made you trustees."
(57:7)
“Take alms out of their property, you would
cleanse them and purify them thereby, and
pray for them; surely your prayer is a relief
to them; and Allah is Hearing, Knowing.”
(al Quran; al Taubah 9:103)
Zakah is a means of redistribution of wealth in a
way that reduces differences between classes and
groups. It makes a fair contribution to social stability. By
purging the soul of the rich from selfishness and the
soul of the poor from envy and resentment against
society, it stops up the channels leading to class hatred
and makes it possible for the springs of brotherhood
and solidarity.

Siyam (fasting during the day time of the
month of Ramadan) is another pillar of
Islam. The main function of fasting is to
make the Muslim pure from "within" as
other aspects of Shariah make him pure
from "without." By such purity he responds
to what is true and good and shuns what is
false and evil. This is what we can perceive
in the Quranic verse:
"O you who believe, fasting is prescribed for
you as it was prescribed for those before
you, that you may gain piety." (2:183)



Al-Hajj (pilgrimage to the House of God in
Makkah). This very important pillar of Islam
manifests a unique unity, dispelling all kinds of
differences.
Muslims from all corners of the world wearing
the same dress, respond to the call of Hajj in
one voice and language; LABBAIK
ALLAHUMMA LABBAIK (Here I am at your
service O Lord!).
In Hajj there is an exercise of strict selfdiscipline and control where not only sacred
things are revered, but even the life of plants
and birds is made inviolable so that everything
lives in safety.
3. ETHICS (Akhlak)
Ethics has been defined as:
"The normative science of the conduct of
human beings living in societies - a science
which judges this conduct to be right or
wrong, to be good or bad or in some similar
way."

“A state where one do something without
having to put an effort thinking before it”
3. AKHLAK and AQIDAH


Aqidah is a main foundation for Islam,
therefore akhlak cannot be build
without Aqidah.
Akhlak without aqidah is like a court
without a judge.
3. AKHLAK and AQIDAH



Belief in Allah and belief in Hereafter is
the foundation for akhlak/good deeds
In the hereafter, good behavior will be
enjoy the rewards and bad behavior
will be punished
Example: a Muslim who belief in
Hereafter, he will not tell lies or
backbiting
As a part of this test, God also gave man
the basic knowledge of 'good' and 'bad'
at the time of his inception. Thus,
according to Islam, every individual has
been bestowed a clear standard of
judgment of 'good' and 'evil' by God.

The Qur'an says:
The human soul - the way He molded it and inspired it
with knowledge of its evil and its good - bears
witness to the fact that indeed he, who cleanses it
[of all impiety] shall be successful while he, who
corrupts it shall face doom.
Questions:
 Why
man needs system in
their daily life?
 What would be the
consequences if there is no
system/rules in the society?
