Dear Brother / Sister,
Prayer was rendered fard on the night of Miraj (Ascension), about one and a half years before the Migration as five times a day. It is stated that prayers were performed two times a day before Miraj. Then, it was increased to five times in Miraj.
Ramadan fasting was rendered fard one month after the qiblah was changed as the Kaaba, 18 months after the Migration of the Prophet (pbuh) to Madinah, in the month of Shaban.
Zakah was rendered fard in the second year of the Migration, after Ramadan fasting was rendered fard and giving fitrah was rendered wajib.
Hajj, which is one of the five pillars of Islam, was rendered fard in the ninth year of the Migration.
Accordingly, the order is as follows: prayer, fasting, zakah and hajj.
Questions on Islam
- Is there any evidence about performing prayers five times a day? Did the Prophet perform prayers three times a day?
- Some other important events of the 2nd Year of Hijrah
- Did the worship of prayer (salah) exist before Miraj (ascension)?
- Will you write the verses of the Quran and Hadiths about Ramadan and Fasting?
- Since the Kaaba is the first house built for worshipping, why did Masjid al-Aqsa become the qiblah in the first years of Islam?
- The month of Shaban
- Was it rendered fard to perform fasting for thirty days (in Ramadan) in the Quran?
- What should we do to tell people about supererogatory (nafilah) deeds of worship?
