Excellence of giving up Elegant Clothes for Humility

Mu`adh bin Anas (Radhiallaho anhu) reported:

Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said,

"Whoever gives up wearing elegant and expensive garments out of humbleness, when he can do so, Allah will call him on the Day of Resurrection and before all the creations, He will give him the choice to wear whichever garment of Iman he would like to wear.''

[At-Tirmidhi]

Commentary:
To adopt humility and not to assert superiority over others, according to this Hadith, is an excellent act with Allah. `The clothes of Iman' imply those special clothings of Jannah that Allah has prepared for sincere believers only.

Islam is built on five pillars

Ibn `Umar (Radhiallaho anha) reported:

The Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said,

"(The structure of) Islam is built on five (pillars) :

1) Testification of `La ilaha illallah' (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah), that Muhammad (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) is his slave and Messenger.
2) The establishment of Salat
3) The payment of Zakat
4) The pilgrimage to the House of Allah (Ka`bah)
5) Saum during the month of Ramadan.''

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

Commentary:
Every Muslim who has fifty-two and a half Tola (a Tola is about 12 grams) silver or cash equivalent to it in excess of his need, and a year has passed since its possession is liable to pay it. One who has seven and a half Tola or more gold also comes in this category. It should be evaluated in terms of money and Zakat at the rate of 2.5% to be paid on it.
