There is no god worthy of worship except God and Muhammad (peace be upon Him) is His messenger

This declaration of faith is called the Shahada, a simple formula which
all the faithful pronounce. In Arabic, the first part is la ilaha illa
Allah - "there is no god except God"; ilaha (god) can refer to anything
which we may be tempted to put in place of God -- wealth, power, and
the like. Then comes illa Allah:" except God, the source of all
creation. The second part of the Shahada is Muhammadun rasulu Allah:
"Muhammad (peace be upon Him) is the messenger of God". A message of
guidance has come through a man like ourselves.



la ilaha illa Allah, Muhammadun rasulu Allah
