Shahada
Shahada (Declaration of Faith)
This is the fundamental declaration that there is no god but Allah, and Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is His messenger. It serves as the central creed of Islam, affirming the belief in the oneness of God and the prophethood of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
Taking Shahada
Taking shahada could not be simpler. You just need to repeat the words in the shahada with conviction. You can take shahada anywhere and at any time! This can be at home, at work, in a garden, beach or of course a mosque! Prophet Muhammad, ﷺ said ‘The whole earth has been made a mosque for me.’.
أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا ٱللَّٰهُ
Ashadu ʾalā ʾilāha ʾilla -llāhu,
I bear witness that there is no god but Allah,
وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ ٱللَّٰهِ
wa-ʾashadu ʾanna Muhammadan rasūlu-llāh.
and I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.
