Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the Shahada in English?

Surah Al-Kawthar (only 3 verses) and Surah Al-Ikhlās (only 4 verses) are among the shortest chapters in the Qur’an. Surah Al-Fātiḥah, though a little longer (7 verses), is the most important because it must be recited every time Muslims pray the five daily prayers (Ṣalāh).

It is how you become a Muslim. By sincerely reciting the Shahada, you are declaring your faith in the oneness of God (Tawhid) and the prophethood of Muhammad, thereby entering the fold of Islam. You can say it in your heart or out loud in a gathering, in English, Arabic, or any other language; it's all the same, and there are no issues whatsoever. The important thing is your intention that you truly believe in the oneness of God, Allah, and the Prophet hood of Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him).
