Question

Read the passage below from the Christian gospel of Matthew. Which of the following scenarios describes a Muslim following one of the pillers of Islam exemplified in the passage?

So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
–Matthew 6:2-4
A. A Muslim prays five times a day out of respect for Islam's second pillar.
B. A Muslim refuses to eat during the holy month of Ramadan out of respect for Islam's fourth pillar.
C. A Muslim takes a trip to Mecca out of respect for Islam's fifth pillar.
D. A Muslim donates part of his salary to a charity out of respect for Islam's third pillar.

Answer 1

∵∴∵answer∵∴∵

D) A Muslim donates part of his salary to a charity out of respect to Islam’s third pillar.

∵∴∵description∵∴∵

The scenario that describes a Muslim following of the pillars of Islam is “A Muslim donates part of his salary to a charity out of respect to Islam’s third pillar.” The five pillars of Islam are, 1) Declaration of Faith, 2) Obligatory prayer, 3) Compulsory giving, 4) Fasting in the month of Ramadan, and 5) Pilgrimage to Mecca. In the case of this question, it is referred to pillar number 3. And as the Mattew’s gospel says, when giving to the needy do not announce it, be discrete because the Almighty in Heaven has the reward for you.
