Understanding Your Testimony of Faith

Uttering the Muslim’s testimony of faith, the first pillar of Islām, “Lā ilāha illallāh” (There is none worthy of worship except Allāh), is very easy on the tongue, but many of us do not understand the depth of its meaning or the implications associated with uttering it. Or if we do, many of us fail to implement it in totality. In reality, there is no true worship without knowledge of the meaning of “Lā ilāha illallāh,” and implementing it. “Knowledge is the foundation! Knowledge precedes all statements and actions. Knowledge is the basis [of everything].” This highly significant book, authored by the great scholar, Shaykh Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-Wahhāb is explained by Shaykh Muḥammad Amān al-Jāmī. The explainer lists the seven essential components of Lā ilāha illallāh and meticulously clarifies each one, giving the reader an in-depth understanding of this monumental utterance.
