The Shahaadah - Testimony of Faith

Shahaadah - 믿음의 간증

The Shahadah (الشهادة - aššahādah) which literally means "testimony" is an Islamic creed declaring belief in the oneness of God and acceptance of Muhammad as a prophet of God.

This is the first principle in the belief in Tawheed (Oneness and Uniqueness of

Allaah). Allaah is One in His Lordship, One in His Godship and One and Unique in

His Actions and Names and Attributes. Nothing is like Allaah. When someone

accepts Allaah as the only true God Who deserves to be worshipped, then he must

negate all worship to anyone (or anything) other than Allaah. This is the meaning of

laa ilaaha illal-laah: “There is no true God but Allaah.” It is composed of negation

and affirmation statements. The statement “but Allaah” confirms that Allaah is the

only true God Who deserves to be worshiped.
