"There is no deity except Allah, the Lord of Adam, Abraham, Moses, Jesus
and the final Prophet, Muhammad (peace be upon them all)."
Assalaamu Alaikum Rahmatullahi wa Barakathu!
Shahada is the foundation of the Islamic religion, since it proclaims the very essence of Islam; that there´s only one God and that Allah's(swwt) prophet is Muhammad Allah(swt) final messenger.(phub)
Declaring the shahada, or testimony, is all one needs to enter Islam. It is the most important of all the five pillars of Islam. This little phrase is what separates Muslims from everyone else. Because those who state this phrase have declared their acknowledgement of Allah’s monotheism and Prophet Muhammad’s status.
A person can convert to Islam by stating the Shahada with conviction.
The Meaning of the Shahada
The word shahada actually means to testify or to bear witness. There are actually two parts to the shahada which when taken together is often called the Shahadatayn, meaning “two testimonies.” The full shahadatayn requires a statement testifying to Allah’s monotheistic qualities and another statement testifying that Prophet Mohammad is the messenger of Allah.
Here are both parts of the shahada in English and Arabic.
Ash-hadu an laa ilaaha illallah
“I bear witness that there is no god except Allah”
Wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan rasulullah
“And I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.”
