The Shahada is the declaration of faith in Islam. It consists of two statements: 1) There is no god but Allah, and 2) Muhammad is the messenger of Allah. Reciting the Shahada with belief in one's heart is how one enters the fold of Islam. It affirms faith in all of Allah's prophets, with Muhammad being the last. The Shahada is not just a one-time declaration, but rather a lifelong commitment to surrendering one's will to Allah and following Islamic principles.

Christianity the original and present realityhsto30
BOOK DESCRIPTION--
Publishers Note
All the praise is due to Allâh, Who has guided us to His straight
path. We seek His forgiveness and we seek refuge in Him from
the evil of our own selves and our bad deeds.
‘Christianity – the Original and the Present Reality’ is a brief treatise
in which the author has attempted to open the Christians’
eyes to the true reality of their erroneous beliefs and to guide
them to the Truth.
All the Messengers of Allâh had tried their best, to convey the
correct creed to their peoples. Prophet ‘Isa, or Jesus, was also
among those upright Messengers who strove hard to guide his
people to the Truth, but most of them followed their whims and
desires and thus went astray.
Believing in the Oneness of Allâh is a basic fundamental in Islam.
This belief establishes the relationship between human beings and
their Rubb (Lord). As Muslims we firmly believe that Allâh is our
Creator, Sustainer and the true God; only He has the right to be
worshipped. There is no partner with Him. He has the free hand
in the disposal of all affairs.
I am thankful to Br. Muhammad bin ‘Abdullah As-Saheem who
has written this booklet in the Arabic language and given us permission
to translate it into English. I pray to Allâh to render this
booklet beneficial and be a source of guidance and blessing in
both this world and the Hereafter.
I also appreciate Darussalam’s staff, who spared no effort to
complete this work in a very good manner.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
2. Shahada A person enters the fold of Islam by simply believing in the heart and declaring with the tongue two fundamental faith statements: LA ILAHA ILLA ALLAH, MUHAMMAD RASOOL ALLAH It means: There is no other deity and worthy of worship except Allah, and Mohammad is the last messenger of Allah.
3. This creed is called “ Shahada”– the declaration or testimony of Faith.
10. Evolution of Trinity in the Church Victor Paul Wierwille,: “ Long before the founding of Christianity the idea of a triune god or god-in-three-persons was a common belief in ancient religions. Although many of these religions had many minor deities, they distinctly acknowledged that there was one supreme God who consisted of three persons or essences. The Babylonians used an uquiteral triangle to represent this three-in-one god, now the symbol of the modern three-in-one believers… the Hindu trinity was made up of the gods Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. The Greek triad was composed of Zeus, Athena and Apollo. These three were said by the pagans to agree in one. One of the largest pagan temples built by the Romans was constructed at Ballbek(now Lebanon) to their trinity of Jupiter, Mercury and Venus. In Babylon, the planet Venus was revered as special and was worshipped as a trinity consisting of Venus, the moon, and the sun. This triad became the Babylonian holy trinity in the fourteenth century before Christ…Although other religions for thousands of years before Christ was born worshipped a triune god, the trinity was not a part of Christian dogma and formal documents of the first three centuries after Christ … So how then did a Trinitarian doctrine come about? It gradually evolved and gained momentum in late first, second and third centuries as pagans, who had converted to Christianity, brought to Christianity some of their pagan beliefs and practices.” (Jesus Christ is not God, 1975 )

33. The Truth of Shahada Not a one-time event made before an Islamic court of law or declaring it with other reliable witnesses. Shahada is not a ritual utterance as an entrance to Islam.
34.
35. It is a covenant of our promise to the Almighty God.
36. On the other hand, a commitment to a total self-surrender to God’s will.Anyone who declares this (Shahada) is a new person and expected to change his thoughts and deeds if contrary to the Islamic way of life or standards and principles.
37. Embrace Islam Narrated Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri , Allah’s Messenger said, “ If a person embrace Islam sincerely, then Allah shall forgive all his past sins, and after that starts the settlement of account: the reward of his good deeds will be ten times to seven hundred times for each good deeds, and an evil deeds will be recorded as it is unless Allah forgives it.” (Sahih Al-Bukhari 1:40a)
38. By Accepting Islam, there is a double reward The Messenger of Allah wrote a letter to Heracleius, the Emperor of Rome, beginning with, “ In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, and Most Merciful. from Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah , to Heraclius the Emperor of Rome. Peace Be upon Him who follows the guidance. Thus, to proceed: Verily, I invite you with the invitation of Islam. So accept Islam and you will be safe, and Allah will give you a double reward.” (Fath al- Bari 1:42)
39. How to Perform the ShahadaDeclaration of Faith Narrated Ubadah, The Prophet said, " If anyone testifies that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah Alone (la ilahaillallah), Who has no partners, and that Muhammad is His slave and His Messenger , and that Jesus is Allah’s slave and His Messenger and His Word which He bestowed on Mary and a spirit (ruh) created by Him, and that Paradise is the truth, and Hell is the truth- Allah will admit him into Paradise with the deeds which he had done even if those deeds were few. " Ubadah added: " such a person can enter Paradise through any of its eight gates he likes “ ( Sahih Al-Bukhari 4:644)
40. Islam is SalvationBelief in the Oneness of Allah The Messenger of Allah said, “ Encourage your dying people to testify to La ilahaillallah, for whoever says it at the time of their death, they will definitely enter Paradise.” The people said, ‘ O Messenger of Allah , what about he who says it while in good health?” He replied, “ This will necessitate his entrance into Paradise even more.” Then he said, “ I swear by He Whom my soul is in His Hand, if the heavens and the earths, and all that is in them, between them and under them, were brought and placed in a balance of a scale, and the testimony of La ilahaillallah(there is no other deity worthy of worship except Allah) was placed on the other side of the scale, the testimony would outweigh all of it.” (At-Tabari 18:258)
