How come there are 11 branches? Shahada is listed as no. 1...but isn't shahada a part of the Roots of Religion under no.1 Tawhid and no.2 Nubuwwah?. --aliasad 21:57, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Yes, Aliasad, you are right. BhaiSaab talk 23:45, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Should Practices of the Religion not be Practices of the Muslim Religion, Practices of the Religion is probably better for a disambiguation (Practices of the Religion (disambiguation). 64.229.168.42 12:10, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

 * I modified it in that sense. Please someone check it out, I took that commentary above. --Io Herodotus (talk) 14:56, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

problem with article
Al-Islam.org, a major Shia website, makes no mention of "Ancillaries of the Faith". It does talk about the five pillars and "principles of faith" that are unrelated to the "ancillaries" in the article. --Louis P. Boog (talk) 01:19, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
