Shahada

Target Language or Knowledge:

In Islam, the first of the five pillars is the Shahada. Shahada is the Muslim profession of faith, expressing the two simple, fundamental beliefs that make one a Muslim: There is no god but God and Muhammad is the prophet of Allah. Sincere recitation of this confession of faith before two Muslims is the sole requirement for those who wish to join the Muslim community. It represents acceptance not only of Allah and his prophet, but of the entirety of Islam.
