One becomes a Muslim
by believing in the Two Testifications of Faith and uttering them
with the intention of leaving out blasphemy.
What are the Two Testifications
of Faith?
The Two Testifications
of Faith are:
In English
I bear witness that
no one deserves to be worshiped except Allah
and
I bear witness that
Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah
[Listen]
In Arabic
أشهدُ أنْ لا إلهَ إلاَّ اللهُ
وأشهدُ أنَّ محمّداً رسولُ الله
(ASHHADU ALLA ILAHA
ILLALLAH, WA ASHHADU ANNA MUHAMMADAR-RASULULLAH)
[Listen]
The non-Muslim embraces
Islam by believing in the Two Testifications of Faith and uttering
them with the intention of leaving out blasphemy.
The first Testification
means that no one or thing deserves to be worshipped except God Who
is the Creator of everything.
The second Testification
states that Muhammad the son of ^Abdillah who was born in Makkah
about 1400 years ago is a messenger of God. He was sent to convey
what God revealed to him so that the humans believe in and work with
the Laws he received and brought. He is truthful in all what he conveyed.
The Two Testifications
reject the Godhood of anyone or anything other than God. They confirm
the Godhood of God only with the acknowledgment of the message of
prophet Muhammad.
