1. FAITH
There is no god worthy of worship except Allah and Muhammad (P.B.U.H.) is His messenger.
This declaration of faith is called the Shahada, a simple formula which all the faithful pronounce. In Arabic, the first part is la ilaha illa'Llah - 'there is no god except Allah'; ilaha (god) can refer to anything which we may be tempted to put in place of God -- wealth, power, and the like. Then comes illa'Llah:' except Allah, the source of all Creation. The second part of the Shahada is Muhammadun rasulu'Llah (P.B.U.H.): 'Muhammad is the messenger of Allah'. A message of guidance has come through a man like ourselves.
A translation of the Call to Prayer is:
Allah is most great. Allah is most great.
Allah is most great. Allah is most great.
I testify that there is no god except Allah.
I testify that there is no god except Allah.
I testify that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.
I testify that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.
Come to prayer! Come to prayer!
Come to success (in this life and the Hereafter)! Come to success!
Allah is most great. Allah is most great.
There is no god except Allah.
Allah is most great. Allah is most great.
I testify that there is no god except Allah.
I testify that there is no god except Allah.
I testify that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.
I testify that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.
Come to prayer! Come to prayer!
Come to success (in this life and the Hereafter)! Come to success!
Allah is most great. Allah is most great.
There is no god except Allah.
