Testimony of Faith

This is a gift for all the new Muslims who currently know the right path to Allah. This is a means to strength and preserve their belief. In these audios Sheikh Fahd Salem Bahammam shows the fruits of becoming a Muslim, the excellent features of Islam and all aspects of Islam. Sheikh Fahd illustrates the pillars of faith on which one’s belief is based and the pillars of Islam which contain the best practical deeds (e.g. prayer) and the best deeds of the heart i.e. the monotheism. As Islam is a social religion, Sheikh explains the Muslim’s behavior towards all individuals in the society, old or young, whether they embrace Islam or not. Afterwards he puts up some notice about both of the permissible and prohibited financial dealings. He also mentions the factors which increase the one’s belief and help the Muslim to abide by Allah’s commands. He refers to the obstacles (e.g. lust, misconception and ignorance) in the path of the Muslims prevent him from continuing his way to Allah. He also shows the prerequisites of the sincere repentance which is between the person and his God without a mediator. Finally, he gives a word for the new Muslim.

The Testimony of Faith is the statement, "La ilaha illa Allah wa Muhammad Rasul-ullah", meaning "There is no deity worthy of being worship except God (Allah), and Muhammad is the Messenger of God". The Declaration of Faith is more than just a statement; it must be shown with one's actions. To convert to the faith of Islam, a person has to say this statement.

It’s from SUNNAH that one does the following : -a person takes a complete bath (ghusl) then perform a two-unit prayer -then he must know how to perform WUDHU before the prayer or TAYAMMUM (Dry ablution) in the absence of water -then establish the prayers at their exact time as it’s the backbone of the religion.

These are the testimonies of Faith and Tawheed,that no one has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is His slave and messenger.

It is important to understand the meaning and the implications of the second part of the testimony of faith as well. Indeed, sometimes one strays from the Straight Path and from Islam itself because he is not implementing the second part of the declaration of faith properly.

The kalimah (word) La ilahah ilallah (that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah), if it said with truthfulness and sincerity from the heart, and acted upon in that which it necessitates - outwardly and inwardly - then its effect will indeed be praiseworthy upon both the individual and the society.

Every Muslim knows that the key to Paradise is the statement, "There is none worthy of worship except Allah." 

 The Testimony of Faith is by far the most importantaspect of the religion of Islam, upon which the whole religion is built. Thislesson gives insight into its importance and meaning.

There is no other God worthy of worship except Allah, and Muhammad is His messenger. 

The testimony of faith is saying with conviction, “La ilaha illa Allah, Muhammadur rasoolu Allah.” 

After uttering the testimony of Islam (Ashahada)sincerely,you will feel happiness and tranquility! God willing.
