Shahada
Islamic statement of faith
This article is about the Islamic creed. For other uses, see Shahada (disambiguation).
Not to be confused with Shaheed.
The Shahada (Arabic: الشَّهَادَةُaš-šahādatu; Arabic pronunciation:[aʃʃahaːdatʊ], 'the testimony'),[note 1] also transliterated as Shahadah, is an Islamicoath and creed, and one of the Five Pillars of Islam and part of the Adhan. It reads: "I bear witness that there is no god but God, and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of God."
The Shahada declares belief in the oneness (tawhid) of God and the acceptance of Muhammad as God's messenger. Some Shia Muslims also include a statement of belief in the wilayat of Ali,[1] but they do not consider it as an obligatory part for converting to Islam.[2] A single honest recitation of the Shahada is all that is required for a person to become a Muslim according to most traditional schools.[3]

AqidahIslamic concept or practice of theology For the story of the binding of Isaac, see Binding of Isaac. For East African administrators, see Akida. Aqidah (Arabic: عَقِيدَة, romanized: ʿaqīdah, IPA:[ʕɑˈqiːdæ], pl. عَقَائِد, ʿaqāʾid, [ʕɑˈqɑːʔɪd]) is an Islamic term of Arabic origin that literally means "creed".[1] It is also called Islamic creed or Islamic theology.[2][3] Aqidah goes beyond concise statements of faith and may not be part of an ordinary Muslim's religious instruction.[4] It has been distinguished from iman in "taking the aspects of Iman and extending it to a detail level" often using "human interpretation or sources".[5] Also, in contrast with iman, the word aqidah is not explicitly mentioned in the Quran. Many schools of Islamic theology expressing different aqidah exist. However, this term has taken a significant technical usage in the Islamic theology, and is a branch of Islamic studies describing the beliefs of Islam. EtymologyAqidah comes fro

Creed The word for creed in Arabic is ‘aqida. Linguistically, it means to bind firmly and tightly. And in the terminology of the sciences, it is a belief held strongly and with conviction in the hearts of humans, whether it be true or false. This strong belief is a motivator to action, such as is the case with the belief of a Muslim in the existence of God and the veracity of the Prophet. History attests to the fact that all peoples at all times have had an ideology or religious creed to which they assent, which moves them to action and which has an impact on their behavior and conduct. The Islamic creed consists of a firm belief that God, Lord of the Worlds, is the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth; that there is only one God Who can be characterized by all perfections, Who transcends all deficiencies, and Who is unlike any other being; that Muhammad is his Prophet and Messenger to the Worlds, and that he fulfilled this mission in the most perfect and complete manner; that the Qur’an is His Book, truthful and untou Copyright ©mobthaw.pages.dev 2025 |
