Shahada; declaration of faith
Shahadah
The Shahada is the declaration of faith, when entering the faith of Islam and at other points, usually
three times a day. It is a ritual that takes place once in a Muslims life, and is one of the five pillars of
Sunni Islam, however it is contained in both faiths.
It is an aim for the Shahada to be one of the last things a Muslim says before they die, as
they will enter Heaven (Jannah) in a pure state, having just declared their loyalty as a
Muslim.
