The Shahada is the foundation and basis of the five pillars of Islam, as well as the spirit, core and foundation of all Islamic teachings.
The Shahada comes from the Arabic word syahida (شهد) which means "he has witnessed". The sentence in the Islamic Shari'a is a statement of belief as well as recognition of the oneness of God (Allah) and Muhammad as His apostle.
Shahada is also called Syahadatain because it consists of 2 sentences (In Arabic Syahadatain means 2 sentences Syahadat). The first sentence is the shahadah at-tawhid, and the second sentence is the martyr of the apostle.
The two sentences of the shahadah are:
First sentence: 'ašhadu'al lā ilāha illa l-Lāh
meaning: I testify that there is no God but Allah
Second sentence:
wa'ašhadu'anna muḥammadar rasūlu l-Lāh
meaning: and I testify that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.
In the Book of Sullamuttaufiq pages 6 s / d 16 mentioned:
The Meaning of ASYHADU AN LAA ILAAHA ILLALLAH You should know, believe, believe and justify that there is no Essence to be worshiped with haq in his being except the one God, the First, the Former, the Living, the Eternal, the Eternal, the Eternal Who Who created, who gave rizki, the All-Knowing. The Almighty, the All-Powerful that He wants Something God wants to be, and what God does not want, does not exist. And there is no effort and no power except with the Supreme and Supreme God. What is characterized by all the properties of perfection, Who have no defects. There is nothing like Him. He is All Hearing and Seer. He who was Former, which besides is new. He is the Creator and the other is His creation. His Kalam is Qadiem as well as all other properties. For surely Allah SWT is different from all creatures both in His Essence, His deeds and His Attributes. Allah SWT is free from the sayings of the zhalim people all. Allah is the Most High, the Supreme.
The Meaning of ASHADU ANNA MUHAMMADAN RASULULLAH Should you know, believe, believe and verify that our Messenger, Muhammad bin Abdullah, bin Abdul Muthallib, bin Hashim, bin Abdu Manaf who was the Quraish - sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam - is the servant of Allah and His Messenger to all beings. He was born in Mecca and in Utus there, and Hijra to Madinah and buried there. And verily He shallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam is true in all that is reported. Some of what he preached was: Adzab of the grave and the delights of the graveThe question of two Angels, Munkar and Nakir Rise from the grave Collected in the realm Mahsyar Qiyamat Hisab Reward Torture Mizan Hell ShirothSafa Shafa'at Heaven and eternal in it Seeing Allah SWT in Paradise And then believe the angels of Allah His Messengers His Books and believe in good qadar and qadar that ugly everything from Allah SWT And actually the Prophet Muhammad SAW is the cover of the Prophet and the leader of the Son of Adam all. Wallaahu A'lam bis showab. (Abdullah Afif).
