TESTIMONY

Reverts to Islam are also required to make Shahadah as their first act of joining the faith and this serves as an affirmation of their commitment to their faith. To make Shahadah, the intent is important, and you must recite the declaration sincerely three times with intent in your heart and mind

The Shahadah Statement “La ilaha illa Allah Muhammadur rasoolu Allah”
