Shahadah – The first of the five pillars of Islam, which is the testimonial of faith stating ‘There is no god but Allah and Prophet Muhammad is His Messenger.’ Stating these two sentences with belief is enough to become a Muslim. The word is not widely known, and therefore stating the term Shahadah as the Islamic testimonial of faith would be recommended. See also the other pillars of Islam – Salah, Zakat, Sawm and Hajj.
