Obligations are the foundation of practicing Islam properly and pleasing Allah. In Islam, acts that Muslims must do without fail are called **Farz**. These are duties that are clearly commanded by Allah and the Prophet Muhammad (SAW). If a Muslim performs Farz acts, they earn reward; if they neglect them without a valid excuse, they are committing a sin.

Examples of Farz acts include the five daily prayers (Salat), fasting in Ramadan (Sawm), giving obligatory charity (Zakat), and performing Hajj if able. Farz is different from Wajib, which is also important but slightly less strict, and from Sunnat and Nafl, which are voluntary and bring extra reward.

Understanding what Farz means helps students know which actions are must-do in Islam. It guides Muslims to follow the right path and fulfill their religious duties properly.

Simply put, Farz are the “musts” in Islam, the essential acts that every Muslim is responsible for.
