The Shahada (shahadah) is the Arabic term for the declaration of faith in one God (Allah) and His messenger.
๐๐ก๐๐ญ ๐๐จ๐๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐ก๐๐ก๐๐๐ ๐ฆ๐๐๐ง?
Transliteration: โAshadu an la ilaha illa illa-ilah, wa ashadu anna muhammadan rasul ullah.โ
Translation: โThere is no God but God (Allah โ i.e. there is none worthy of worship but Allah), and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.โ
It is the most sacred statement in Islam, and must be recited with full understanding and mindfulness of itโs meaning.

The belief in one Allah is the central tenet of the Islamic faith, around which all else revolves. Muslims are continuously reminded of this foundational belief, in the recital of the Shahada (shahadah) during each of the five daily prayers, as well as many more pivotal moments of a Muslimโs life.
The second part of the Shahada requires Muslims to acknowledge and testify to the belief in the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) as Allahโs messenger. This serves as a reminder to Muslims of the importance of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), but also as a reminder to never associate partners with Allah, for He is just a messenger, and Allah remains one God alone.

- The Shahadah is one of the five pillars of Islam. It is a sacred testament given for Muslims to uphold throughout their lifetime and embody in all of their actions and intentions.
- The Shahadah is recited in the Athan (call to prayer).
- Muslims recite the Shahadah once or twice in their Salah, which they are obliged to do during five different times of the day.
- When someone wishes to convert to Islam as their religion, reciting the Shahadah marks their entrance into Islam and their life as a Muslim.
- The Shahadah is spoken as the first words a Muslim baby hears upon entering the world, and Muslims strive for the Shahadah to be their last words upon their death.

The first pillar of Islam is the โThe Shahadahโ, also spelled โThe Shahadaโ. It comes from the Arabic word โุงูุดูููุงุฏุฉโ which means โThe Testimonyโ, the testimony that none has the right to be worshiped but Allah (SWT) and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah (Exalted He).
Reciting โThe Shahadahโ, โThe Profession of Faithโ is the first required action to get into Islam, the initial submission to Islam. The statement of Shahadah should be recited in Arabic with sincere belief & true feeling to become a Muslim.

- The first part of Shahada states that there is no god but Allah (Exalted He) which means that no other being has the right to be worshiped and that Allah almighty has neither partner nor son.
- The second part of the Shahada witnesses that our beloved prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the last prophet & messenger sent by Allah (Exalted He).

The Shahada statement should be recited out loud with sincere belief from the bottom of the heart. Itโs preferred to be recited in Arabic but because โIslam is the religion of easeโ, non-Arabic speaking may recite it in their native language.

For Muslims,The Shahadah: The First Pillar of Islam because understanding and accepting it means that one understands and accepts the essence of the entire faith. Actually, true belief in the content of the Shahada is the foremost distinguishing characteristic that defines a Muslim as a Muslim.
All it needs to convert to Islam is a single sincere public recitation of the Shahadah in its original Arabic.

The Glorious Holy Qur’an is the final and last testament from our creator, Allah Exalted He, obviously those anti-Islam who claim that the shahada is not in the Quran,the have not read the Glorious Quran fully and completely with open mind, but they have read it and view it via their lens of hatred, prejudice and prior perceived misconception.

Prophet Muhammed peace be upon him is the messenger of Allah teh only true deity worthy of worship, that is a direct affirmation of the full and complete testimony of Islam “Shahada” For those whoย learn Quran you might notice that the full complete Shahadah had been confirmed in the form of an imbedment in several Quranic verses.
Moreoever, confirming EACH part of the shahada in the Glorious Holy Qur’an as well is a very detailed evidence, which will proves beyond ANY doubts that teh two parts of the Shahada are endorsed, confirmed, stated and approved by Allah Exalted He in the Glorious Holy Quran. Any non-Muslim objections to this crystal clear views are baseless and discarded.

Allah witnesses that there is no deity except Him, and [so do] the angels and those of knowledge โ [that He is] maintaining [creation] in justice. There is no deity except Him, the Exalted in Might, the Wise.
The Holy Quran [3:18]
Say, โI am only a man like you, to whom has been revealed that your god is one God. So whoever would hope for the meeting with his Lord โ let him do righteous work and not associate in the worship of his Lord anyone.โ
The Holy Quran [18:110]
Say, โHe is Allah, [who is] One,
The Holy Quran [112:1]
When the hypocrites come to you, [O Muhammad], they say, โWe testify that you are the Messenger of Allah .โ And Allah knows that you are His Messenger, and Allah testifies that the hypocrites are liars.
