Shahadah

The meaning of Shahadah is for muslims to declare that they believe in Allah and that he is the only God. They also declare that they realise muhammad was the messenger of Allah and is therefore a Prophet.

The Shahadah should be the first and last thing a Muslim hears as it shows that their faith is lifelong.
