1476. THE SUM OF ALL OBLIGATIONS

4999.الإمامُ عليٌّ عليه السلام : أمّا ما فَرَضَهُ اللَّهُ سبحانَهُ في كتابِهِ فدَعائمُ الإسلامِ ، وهِي خَمسُ دَعائمَ . وعلى‏ هذهِ الفَرائضِ الخَمسِ بُنِيَ الإسلامُ ، فَجَعَلَ سبحانَهُ لِكُلِّ فَريضَةٍ مِن هذهِ الفَرائضِ أربَعةَ حُدودٍ لايَسَعُ أحَداً جَهلُها ، أوَّلُها : الصلاةُ ، ثُمّ الزكاةُ ، ثُمّ الصيامُ ، ثُمّ الحَجُّ ، ثُمّ الوَلايَةُ ، وهِي خاتِمَتُها والجامِعَةُ لِجَميعِ الفَرائضِ والسُّنَنِ .¹

4999.Imam Ali (AS) said, 'As for what Allah has made obligatory in His Book, they are the pillars of Islam, and they are five pillars. It is on these five pillars that Islam was founded, and He Almighty allocated for each of these obligatory duties four boundaries in which everyone must know. The first of them is prayer, then alms-tax (zakat), then fasting, then Hajj pilgrimage, then guardianship (wilaya), in which the latter is the seal of them and it encompasses all obligatory and recommended acts.' ²
