THE MEANING OF “LA ILAAHA ILLA ALLAH , MUHAMMAD RASOOLULLAH” AND
CONDITIONS OF “LA ILAAHA ILLA ALLAH .” THE MEANING OF THE TESTIMONY OF
FAITH The testimony (LA ILAAHA ILLA ALLAH ) comprises two concepts:
Denial and Affirmation.

FIRST:

The testimony of faith denies the attribute of divinity to anyone and
anything other than Allah - the Exalted. All those other than Allah,
such as the angels, the Prophets, and the rest of Mankind,let alone
the idols and the political regimes in the world, are not gods and
thus don’t deserve to be worshipped. Therefore, denial in this respect
is not denial of the existence of the alleged gods, rather the denial
of divinity which is attributed to them.

SECOND:

The testimony of faith affirms and restricts divinity to Allah alone.
That is, the slave must believe that Allah is the only true God,and
accordingly dedicate no act of worship to any, other than Allah.

THE MEANING OF MUHAMMAD RASOOLULLAH

A confession with your tongue but a heartfelt belief, “O Allah! I
testify that Muhammad (Peace be upon him) is Your Messenger.” That
means that none has the right to be followed after Allah, but the
Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) as he is the Last of His
Messengers. As Allah said:

“Muhammad (Peace be upon him) is not the father on any man amongst you
but he is the Messenger of Allah and the last (end)of the Prophets and
Allah is Ever All Aware of everything.” (V.33:40)

“And whatsoever the Messenger Muhammad (Peace be upon him) gives you,
take it and whatsoever he forbids you, abstain from it.” (V.59:7)

And Allah said: “Say (O Muhammad) (to mankind) ‘if you (really)love
Allah, then follow me’.” (V.3:31)

As for the others than Muhammad (Peace be upon him) their statements
are to be taken or rejected as to whether these are in accordance with
Allah’s Book (i.e. the Quran) or with the Sunnah (legal ways, orders,
acts of worship, statements etc.,) of the Prophet (Peace be upon him),
or not.
CONDITIONS OF “LA ILAAHA ILLA ALLAH”

1. Knowledge, which consists of recognizing Allah as the only true God
to Whom worship must be dedicated, and denouncing all gods worshipped
beside Allah as false, and that they can neither extend benefit nor
cause harm.

2. Certainty that the belief in Allah must be unblemished with any
doubt.

3. Acceptance: That is, to accept all the conditions of the
declaration.

4. Submission: That is, to fulfill its conditions submissively and
willingly being content with Allah as the Rabb (only Lord) and
Muhammad (Peace be upon him) as His last Prophet and Messenger.

5. Truthfulness: That is, to fulfill its requirements truthfully.

6. Sincerity: That is, to be sincere in worshipping Allah, dedicating
all acts of worship to Him alone.

7. The love of Allah - the Exalted, and the love of His Messenger
Muhammad (Peace be upon him), and the love of Allah’s devotees and the
people of His obedience, which means love of all Muslims

Finally it should be borne in mind that Allah must be obeyed, by
following His commands and refraining from His prohibitions. Obedience
to Allah must be associated with loving Him, fearing His punishment,
and hoping for His reward, seeking His forgiveness and adhering to the
teachings of His Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) - the last of Allah’s
Messengers. The Shari’ah (the laws and religious rites) of Muhammad
(PBUH)abrogates all other preceding laws and religious rites and this
comprises the best of every preceding Shari’ah.
