| | This formula is to be repeated: "Ashhadu an la ilaha illa 'llah; ashhadu anna Muhammadan rasulu 'llah" : "I witness that there is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah." Taken from Muhammad 47:19 and al-Fath 48:29. | | | Shahada is mentioned after "Allahu Akbar" and at the end of prayer. | | | The importance of the Shahada to a Muslim is not only in what it says, but that by reciting it, a non-Muslim is converted to Islam. |

| | The teachings of the Injil about Shahada/Confession |
| | So the teachings of the Holy Injil are that we need to find a new Shahada and to place our faith in Jesus. | | | First He proclaimed Jesus to be the "Lamb of God who removes our sins," and secondly, even though John the Baptist was born first, He declared that Jesus "existed long before I did." The prophet John recognised Jesus as being God come down in the form of a human and proclaimed it to be so. | | | Good Muslim people seek to love Allah and obey Him, by keeping the 5 pillars of Islam, but Jesus taught that although these things may be good in their own way, something else is required. |

| | IFSA - What is Shahada? |
| | The basic Shahada can be declared in many forms and its recitation is also used as a form of meditation or remembrance of Allah called Dhikr. | | | The actual strength of the Shahada at the time of the Prophet was the rejection of any other polytheistic Gods or statues as objects of worship which was far spread and common. | | | By declaring the Shahada one accepts Islam as his/her religion and recognizes the true nature of the own self, which is being a Muslim (being righteous). |

| | THE CONCEPT OF MARTYRDOM IN ISLAM |
| | The word shahada is derived from the Arabic verbal root shahada, which means to 'see', to 'witness', to 'testify', to 'become a model and paradigm'. | | | Thus the concept of martyrdom, like all other Islamic concepts, can be fully and wholly appreciated only in the light of the Islamic doctrine of tawhid, or the absolute unity of Allah and full submission to His will and command. | | | Both words have literal meanings different from their terminological meanings, although these terminological meanings were originally based on the literal meanings. |
