Other important aspects in addition to - the 5 Pillars of Islam

In addition to the five pillars of Islam, there are other important aspects of the religion that are emphasized in the Quran and the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Here are some of the key verses in the Quran and references in the Hadiths related to these aspects, along with their verse numbers:

Tawhid (monotheism):

"Say, 'He is Allah, [who is] One. Allah, the Eternal Refuge. He neither begets nor is born, Nor is there to Him any equivalent.'" (Surah Al-Ikhlas 112:1-4)

"And your Lord has decreed that you not worship except Him, and to parents, good treatment. Whether one or both of them reach old age [while] with you, say not to them [so much as], "uff," and do not repel them but speak to them a noble word." (Surah Al-Isra 17:23)

Taqwa (piety or God-consciousness):

"O you who have believed, fear Allah. And let every soul look to what it has put forth for tomorrow - and fear Allah. Indeed, Allah is Acquainted with what you do." (Surah Al-Hasr 59:18)

"And whoever fears Allah - He will make for him a way out. And will provide for him from where he does not expect. And whoever relies upon Allah - then He is sufficient for him. Indeed, Allah will accomplish His purpose. Allah has already set for everything a [decreed] extent." (Surah At-Talaq 65:2-3)

Adl (justice):

"O you who have believed, be persistently standing firm in justice, witnesses for Allah, even if it be against yourselves or parents and relatives. Whether one is rich or poor, Allah is more worthy of both. So follow not [personal] inclination, lest you not be just. And if you distort [your testimony] or refuse [to give it], then indeed Allah is ever, with what you do, Acquainted." (Surah An-Nisa 4:135)

"And give full measure when you measure, and weigh with an even balance. That is the best [way] and best in result." (Surah Ar-Rahman 55:9)

Ihsan (excellence):

"Ihsan is to worship Allah as if you see Him, and if you do not achieve this state of devotion, then (take it as if) Allah sees you." (Bukhari, Volume 9, Book 93, Number 621)

"The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, 'None of you [truly] believes until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself.'" (Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 2, Number 12)

Quranic study and adherence to the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad:

"So, [O Muhammad], be patient over what they say and exalt [ Allah ] with praise of your Lord before the rising of the sun and before its setting; and during periods of the night [exalt Him] and at the extremes of the day, that you may be satisfied." (Surah Al-Hijr 15:98)

"And We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], the Book in truth, confirming that which preceded it of the Scripture and as a criterion over it. So judge between them by what Allah has


The Hadiths (the sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad) provide a wealth of information and guidance on various aspects of Islam, including additional details and emphasis on the five pillars of Islam. Here are a few additional teachings from the Hadiths and references with reference numbers:

Importance of intention (niyyah) in all actions: According to the Hadiths, the intention behind an action is what determines whether it is accepted by Allah. (Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 2, Number 8)

Good manners and character: The Hadiths emphasize the importance of good manners and character, such as honesty, kindness, and compassion, in all dealings. (Bukhari, Volume 8, Book 73, Number 1)

Tawhid (monotheism): The Hadiths emphasize the importance of Tawhid, the belief in the oneness of Allah, and warn against the dangers of shirk (polytheism or associating partners with Allah). (Bukhari, Volume 9, Book 93, Number 611)

Mercy and forgiveness: The Hadiths encourage Muslims to show mercy and forgiveness to others and to seek forgiveness from Allah. (Bukhari, Volume 8, Book 76, Number 489)

Importance of seeking knowledge: The Hadiths encourage Muslims to seek knowledge, especially religious knowledge, throughout their lives. (Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 1, Number 1)

These are just a few examples of the teachings and guidance found in the Hadiths and references, which provide a comprehensive and detailed understanding of Islam and its practices.
