\u00a0When we turn to the Holy Quran...

\u00a0When we turn to the Holy Quran, all Instructions about the permissible\/forbidden\/worship have come in different chapters and places, as some Verses address some aspects of Faith.

Here we take, as an example, some Verses, starting Verse 2:177 (which is believed to describe the pillars of Faith as 17, as explained later with the help of a Hadith).\u00a0 In the Holy Quran, Allah-azwj address beliers at several places and Commands them, e.g., \n \u0644\u064e\u064a\u0652\u0633\u064e \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0628\u0650\u0631\u0651\u064e \u0623\u064e\u0646\u0652 \u062a\u064f\u0648\u064e\u0644\u0651\u064f\u0648\u0627 \u0648\u064f\u062c\u064f\u0648\u0647\u064e\u0643\u064f\u0645\u0652 \u0642\u0650\u0628\u064e\u0644\u064e \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0645\u064e\u0634\u0652\u0631\u0650\u0642\u0650 \u0648\u064e\u0627\u0644\u0652\u0645\u064e\u063a\u0652\u0631\u0650\u0628\u0650 \u0648\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0670\u0643\u0650\u0646\u0651\u064e \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0628\u0650\u0631\u0651\u064e \u0645\u064e\u0646\u0652 \u0622\u0645\u064e\u0646\u064e \u0628\u0650\u0627\u0644\u0644\u0651\u064e\u0647\u0650 \u0648\u064e\u0627\u0644\u0652\u064a\u064e\u0648\u0652\u0645\u0650 \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0622\u062e\u0650\u0631\u0650 \u0648\u064e\u0627\u0644\u0652\u0645\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0627\u0626\u0650\u0643\u064e\u0629\u0650 \u0648\u064e\u0627\u0644\u0652\u0643\u0650\u062a\u064e\u0627\u0628\u0650 \u0648\u064e\u0627\u0644\u0646\u0651\u064e\u0628\u0650\u064a\u0651\u0650\u064a\u0646\u064e \u0648\u064e\u0622\u062a\u064e\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0645\u064e\u0627\u0644\u064e \u0639\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0649\u0670 \u062d\u064f\u0628\u0651\u0650\u0647\u0650 \u0630\u064e\u0648\u0650\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0642\u064f\u0631\u0652\u0628\u064e\u0649\u0670 \u0648\u064e\u0627\u0644\u0652\u064a\u064e\u062a\u064e\u0627\u0645\u064e\u0649\u0670 \u0648\u064e\u0627\u0644\u0652\u0645\u064e\u0633\u064e\u0627\u0643\u0650\u064a\u0646\u064e \u0648\u064e\u0627\u0628\u0652\u0646\u064e \u0627\u0644\u0633\u0651\u064e\u0628\u0650\u064a\u0644\u0650 \u0648\u064e\u0627\u0644\u0633\u0651\u064e\u0627\u0626\u0650\u0644\u0650\u064a\u0646\u064e \u0648\u064e\u0641\u0650\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0631\u0651\u0650\u0642\u064e\u0627\u0628\u0650 \u0648\u064e\u0623\u064e\u0642\u064e\u0627\u0645\u064e \u0627\u0644\u0635\u0651\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0627\u0629\u064e \u0648\u064e\u0622\u062a\u064e\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0632\u0651\u064e\u0643\u064e\u0627\u0629\u064e \u0648\u064e\u0627\u0644\u0652\u0645\u064f\u0648\u0641\u064f\u0648\u0646\u064e \u0628\u0650\u0639\u064e\u0647\u0652\u062f\u0650\u0647\u0650\u0645\u0652 \u0625\u0650\u0630\u064e\u0627 \u0639\u064e\u0627\u0647\u064e\u062f\u064f\u0648\u0627 \u06d6 \u0648\u064e\u0627\u0644\u0635\u0651\u064e\u0627\u0628\u0650\u0631\u0650\u064a\u0646\u064e \u0641\u0650\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0628\u064e\u0623\u0652\u0633\u064e\u0627\u0621\u0650 \u0648\u064e\u0627\u0644\u0636\u0651\u064e\u0631\u0651\u064e\u0627\u0621\u0650 \u0648\u064e\u062d\u0650\u064a\u0646\u064e \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0628\u064e\u0623\u0652\u0633\u0650 \u06d7 \u0623\u064f\u0648\u0644\u064e\u0670\u0626\u0650\u0643\u064e \u0627\u0644\u0651\u064e\u0630\u0650\u064a\u0646\u064e \u0635\u064e\u062f\u064e\u0642\u064f\u0648\u0627 \u06d6 \u0648\u064e\u0623\u064f\u0648\u0644\u064e\u0670\u0626\u0650\u0643\u064e \u0647\u064f\u0645\u064f \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0645\u064f\u062a\u0651\u064e\u0642\u064f\u0648\u0646\u064e {177} \n It isn\u2019t righteousness that you should be turning your faces facing the east and the west, but the righteous is the one who believes in Allah, and the Last Day , and the Angels , and the Book , and the Prophets , and gives the wealth over his own love (for it) to the ones with relationships , and the orphans , and the poor, and the travellers, and the beggars , and regarding the necks (freeing slaves) , and establishes the Salat, and gives the Zakat , and they fulfil their promises when they are promising , and the patient ones during the adversity and the desperation and when distressed ; they are those who are true , and these, they are the fearing ones [2:177] \n So, if we take all of the above Commands from 2:177, the pillars of faith will be 17 or 16 if we exclude the freeing of slaves, or if we take out the five (5) pillars of Islam, we will be left with 11.
