بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

The first pilla r of Islam is to state the Shaha dah. Sad to say, but many peopl e just take the Shahd ah for face value . Many times, even born into Islam ic famil y Musli ms, never reall y conte mplat e the Shaha dah. Not only is it the doorw ay in which a human being steps onto the forma l path of Islam, but it is the entra nce to the spiri tual world with Allah .

أشهد أن لا إله إلاَّ الله و أشهد أن محمد رسول الله
Ash hadu ‘anna laa illah ha illah-allah wa ash hadu anna muham madar rasul ullah

There are coupl e trans latio ns:

Liter al:

“I witne ss veril y, there is no god, but God and I witne ss that Muham mad is the messe nger of Allah .”

***Better trans latio n***

“I testi fy that there is no deity worth y of worsh ip [ilah] excep t Allah, and I testi fy that Muham mad is the [last] messe nger of God.”

What I (and schol ars) are tryin g to get at is the term ilah [إله ] that is used. Ilah means somet hing (deity) that is worsh ipped . This can be fire (for Zoroa stria ns), Jesus (for Chris tians ) or other figur es that are rende red as God. But ilah can also refer to what our inner selve s turn to. [Following is from my Rumi notes:]

Ilah:

“god” (NOTE: lower case g)
Somet hing/one you ensla ve yours elf to
Somet hing/one you seek comfo rt from
Somet hing/one you give the most love and worsh ip
Somet hing/one that is the first thing you turn to from dange r to safet y (NOTE: in one of the surah Kahf lectu res, Shayk h Bilal menti ons that a lot times peopl e get sick and the first thing they might turn to is medic ine. At the momen t, that is their ilah. They shoul d first turn to Allah and then seek appro priat e actio n i.e. medic ine. But that all comes from Allah .)
Somet hing/one you seek clari ty from confu sion
Somet hing/one you seek hope from despa ir
By the above crite rion, ilah is defin ed not by what we profe ss, but what we actua lly end up doing .
ilah can be: Allah, gods, money, alcoh ol, natio n-state, desir es (hawa), carna l desir es, ideol ogy/science, and other thing s too.
So in the shaha dah, when a perso n denou nces the ilah, they say that they rejec t typic al deity figur es and other thing s (alcoh ol, money, etc. etc.) as their God and only see Allah as what they turn to.

—There is no deity (alcoh ol, money, Jesus, fire) worth y of worsh ip excep t Allah— get it?

But the shahd ah doesn’t just end at that under stand ing. There are 9 thing s a perso n must belie ve in and if one is lacki ng, then the Shaha dah loses its barak ah and even to some schol ars, becom es meani ngles s. [But I'll leave it to you to judge .]

Al-’ilm [knowledge]: A perso n must have knowl edge of the meani ng of the shaha dah-both negat ion and affir matio n. It sound s obvio us, but some peopl e may say the shahd ah and then say may the gods of the skies prote ct us-so then that means the perso n reall y didn’t get what the shaha dah is about—> “So know that there is no God save Allah, and ask forgi venes s for your sin.” [Surah Muham mad, ayah 19]
Al-Yaqeen [certainty]: have perfe ct knowl edge of it witho ut suspi cion and/or doubt . “The (true) belie vers are those who only belie ve in Allah and His messe nger and after ward doubt not, but striv e with their wealt h and their lives for the cause of Allah . Such are the since re.” [Surah Al Hujar at, ayah 15]
Al-Ikhlas [Sincerity]: To say it for the sake of Allah and nothi ng else. (Which can possi bly e shirk) Al-Yaqeen is more of a state of mind, while Al-Ikhlas is more of a state of heart and soul.
Al-Qubool [Acceptance]: To accep t the shaha dah, both in liter al meani ng and impli catio ns. “Do you belie ve in part of the book [Quran] and rejec t part of it? And what is the rewar d for those who do so, excep t humil iatio n in the life of this world, and on the Day of Resur recti on they will be sent to the most dread ful doom.” [Surah Baqar ah, ayah 85]
Al-Inqiyaad [submission]: This means submi ssion to the state ment and that what we do is since rely for Allah . “Who is bette r in relig ion than he who his purpo se to Allah while doing good?” [Surah Nisaa', ayah 125]
As-Sidq [Truthfulness]: When sayin g the shaha dah, we say it hones tly. Not for any perso nal gain or somet hing. We actua lly mean it when we say it.
Al-Mahabbah [love]: To love the shaha dah, what it means, what it repre sents and being happy with it. To love some state ment more than the affir matio n of Allah as God means you reall y don’t love the shaha dah. (Unles s the state ment is somet hing reall y good about God.) But yeah, you need to love what you decla re as truth .
Denia l of other false worsh ip (dunno the Arabi c word): The shaha dah is recog nizin g Allah, but also recog nizin g other false thing s of worsh ip. So it is about stand ing up for Allah, but also shunn ing other gods.
As-Taqeem [adherence-to death]: To hold on to it until we die, and hopef ully the after life.
So the Shaha dah is reall y the found ation s of the relig ion becau se to tests a human being to be sound in their faith and stron g in what they belie ve in. The shaha dah is more than a state ment; it is an idea, a belie f, a conce pt one must hold on to for his/her entir e life.

…I don’t know-I think many times peopl e over look one of the most impor tant state ments of Islam and I would like you, the reade r (if you are Musli m), to take a minut e to think about the shaha dah and think if you reall y follo w the 9 crite ria I put up earli er. And if you don’t, take a minut e and clean se your thoug hts and heart to embra ce this state ment. If this is one of the great est state ments of Islam, imagi ne how much Allah loves it when you decla re it with your heart . Don’t say it just once. Say it again . Say it over and over-as a confi rmati on of it in yours elf. Allah loves it when you say somet hing you mean and mean what you say for the sake of Allah . This is one of the ways a perso n can get close to Allah, so say what you mean and speak it from your soul.

Insha ‘Allah, we will hold the shaha dah close in our heart s. Let it be our life line. And pray that we never take somet hing else as an ilah (consc iousl y or uncon sciou sly) EVER and if we do, it is so Allah can remin d us to turn back to Him. The shaha dah is suppo sed to help us find Him. So say it, and mean it. =)

Sbb Bahas a Ingge ris dh ada mai kita belaj o bahas a arab lak!

سُئل بعض العارفين عن الخالق فقال للسائل:

إن سألت عن ذاته، فــ ((ليس كمثله شئ))

وإن سألت عن صفاته فهو أحد صمد، ((لم يلد ولم يولد، ولم يكن له كفوا أحد))

وإن سألت عن اسمه، فــ((هو الله الذي لا إله إلا هو عالم الغيب والشهادة هو الرحمن الرحيم))

وإن سألت عن فعله، فــ((كل يوم هو في شأن))

أي الله تبارك وتعالى، كل يوم يغيّر في خلقه ما شاء.

اما هو سبحانه، فلا يتغيّر


وقد جمع إمامنا الشافعي رضي الله عنه جميع ما قيل في التوحيد بقوله،

من انتهض لمعرفة مدبّره فانتهى إلى موجود ينتهي إليه فكره، فهو مشبّه

وإن اطمأن إلى العدم الصِّرْف، فهو ملحد معطّل

وإن اطمأن لموجود واعترف بالعجز عن إدراكه فهو موحّد

معناه الذي يعترف بوجود الله تعالى ويعتقد أنه موجود ليس كمثله شئ،

موجود بلا مكان، ولا يجري عليه زمان، ولم يقل أنا أريد ان أتصوّر ربي،

فهذا الإنسان موحّد عارف بربّه
