How Does One Become a Muslim? |
|
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 محمّدًا
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.
