The '''''Shahada''''' (Araic: الشهادة; also transliterated as ''Shahadah'') is the Islamic declaration of faith and the first pillar of Islam. The ''Shahada'' is written in full as "أشهد أن لا إله إلاَّ الله و أشهد أن محمد رسول الله" and pronounced in full as "ašhadu 'al-lā ilāha illā-llāhu wa 'ašhadu 'anna muħammadan rasūlu-llāh" in Arabic.
The ''Shahada'' is generally translated as "There is no god but God. Muhammad is the messenger of God." but is also translated in similar phrases such as "There is none worthy of worship except Allah, and [[Muhammad]] is the messenger of Allah."<ref name="Ruthven2004">{{cite book|author=Malise Ruthven|title=Historical Atlas of Islam|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=wT1xGHPyMA8C&pg=PA14|date=January 2004|publisher=Harvard University Press|isbn=978-0-674-01385-8|page=14}}</ref>
