ما هي مكانة الشهادتين في الإسلام؟
Q 16: What is the position of the two testimonies in Islam?
أ ---لا يُعَدُّ المرءُ مسلمًا حتى ينطقَ بهما. قال الله تعالى:
A ---One cannot be regarded a Muslim till he pronounces them. Allah the Almighty says:
إِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ (النور، 62)
The true believers are only those, who believe in (the Oneness of Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) (An-Nur, 62)
قال النبي محمد ﷺ:
Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) says:
أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أُقَاتِلَ النَّاسَ حَتَّى يَشْهَدُوا أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ، وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ، وَيُقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ، وَيُؤْتُوا الزَّكَاةَ، فَإِذَا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ عَصَمُوا مِنِّي دِمَاءَهُمْ وَأَمْوَالَهُمْ إِلَّا بِحَقِّهَا، وَحِسَابُهُمْ عَلَى اللَّهِ، (رواه البخاري ومسلم)
"I have been commanded to fight against people till they testify that there is no god but Allah, and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, perform Prayer, and pay Zakah. If they do that, their blood and property are guaranteed protection on my behalf except when justified by law, and their affairs rest with Allah ", (Bukhari and Muslim)
