Conditions of La ilaaha illa Allaah
Written by Islamic Learning   

Conditions of La ilaaha illa Allaahby Jamaal ud-Deen az-Zarabozo: Every Muslim knows that the key to Paradise is the statement, "There is none worthy of worship except Allaah."

And I testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah alone, He has no partner; and I testify that Muhammad is His Slave and His Messenger.

"Mankind was one Ummah, then Allaah sent prophets bringing good news and warnings." (Soorah Baqarah 2:213)
