Shahadah Services at Masjid Ahlis Sunnah

At Masjid Ahlis Sunnah, we are honored to support and celebrate individuals embracing Islam through the Shahadah—the foundational declaration of faith and entry into the Muslim community. Understanding that this is a deeply personal and meaningful decision, we are committed to providing a welcoming, supportive environment where you can feel comfortable as you begin your journey in Islam. Whether you’re just exploring or ready to take the Shahadah, our community offers guidance, education, resources, and heartfelt prayers to help make your transition into Islam smooth, joyful, and spiritually fulfilling.

What is the Shahadah?

The Shahadah is the Islamic declaration of faith and consists of two simple yet profound statements:

  • “Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah” – “I testify that there is no god but Allah.”
  • “Ashhadu anna Muhammadur rasulullah” – “I testify that Muhammad (PBUH) is the messenger of Allah.”

By saying these words with sincere belief, a person enters into the fold of Islam, acknowledging the oneness of Allah and the prophethood of Muhammad (PBUH). It is the most profound and beautiful declaration, representing a commitment to worship Allah alone and follow the teachings of His final messenger.

Islamic Reminder

ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَتَطْمَئِنُّ قُلُوبُهُم بِذِكْرِ ٱللَّهِ ۗ أَلَا بِذِكْرِ ٱللَّهِ تَطْمَئِنُّ ٱلْقُلُوبُ (٢٨)

Allah said: “those who believe and whose hearts find comfort in the remembrance of Allah. Surely in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find comfort.” – Ar-Ra’d: 28 (13-28)
