To know the meaning of the Declaration of Faith: 'Ash-hadu an lâ ilâha illallâhu, wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan Rasûlullâh' and to know the conditions of the statement: 'Lâ ilâha illallâh'. The meaning of the Declaration of Faith is: I bear witness that there is no god worthy of worship except Allâh, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His Messenger.
