Shahāda
Shahāda. Profession of faith in Allāh and his messenger; the first Pillar of Islam, proclaiming the uniqueness of Allāh, and the centrality of Muḥammad as his prophet. Pronouncing the shahāda implies acceptance of Islam in its totality, and is the only formal requirement for entry into the ʾumma (community).
(Ashhadu aina) lā ilāha illā Allāh
wa-Muḥammad rasūl Allāh
(I bear witness that) there is no god but God and Muḥammad is the messenger of God.
The shahāda is included in the ādhān (call to prayer) and is pronounced during the ṣalāt, as part of the tashahhud, which, however, contains extra phrases.
