The First Pillar - Shahadah

The Shahada is the profession or declaration of faith that a Muslim says in ordert to show belief in one God and in Muhammad's prophethood. They say the following...

The Shahada: "There is no God but Allah, and Muhammad is his prophet"
. Both occur in the Koran, but not together. It is called the "shahada", and the prayer also asserts the belief in the Koran, the angels, and the last judgment.

The greatest phrase of the Arabic language: "La ilaha illa Allah", "there is no God but Allah". A Muslim is supposed to pray the Shahada at least once in his lifetime correctly, slowly, thoughtfully, aloud, with full understanding, and with heartfelt conviction in its truth... but they actually pray it many times a day.
