What is the Shahada?
In simple terms;
The Shahada is how a person enters Islam. It is the two testimonies (shahadatayn): belief in One God, and that Muhammad is His Messenger.
“I testify that there is no god but Allah, and I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.”
You can declare the shahadatayn in any language, and we can guide you step by step. You do not need to be perfect. You start, and then you learn.
