Shahada (What is the Shahada?)
Muslims bear witness to the oneness of God by reciting the creed "There is no God but Allah (سبحانه و تعالى) and Muhammad (ﷺ) is the Messenger of Allah." This simple yet profound statement expresses a Muslim's complete acceptance of and total commitment to Islam.
أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ، وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ
The transliteration of Shahadah is as follows: “Ash hadu an laa ilaaha illa-llah was ashhadu anna muhammadan abduhu wa rasuluhu”.
Translation: I testify that there is no God but Allah. And I testify that Muhammed(ﷺ) is his(Allah) slave and his(Allah) messenger.
OR
أشهدُ أنْ لا إلهَ إلاَّ اللهُ وأشهدُ أنَّ محمّداً رسولُ الله
Transliteration: Ash-hadu alla ilaha illallah, wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadar-Rasulullah
Translation: I bear witness that there is no deity (none truly to be worshipped) but, Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.
