问16：两个作证在伊斯兰教中的地位是什么？
Q 16: What is the position of the two testimonies in Islam?
A ——不念出这两句话，一个人就不能被视为穆斯林。安拉至高无上说：
A ---One cannot be regarded a Muslim till he pronounces them. Allah the Almighty says:
真正的信士，只是那些信仰安拉的独一性和祂的使者（穆罕默德ﷺ）的人。（《光明章》，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)
先知穆罕默德ﷺ说：
Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) says:
"我奉命与人们作战，直到他们作证除真主外别无应受崇拜者，并作证穆罕默德是真主的使者，并且礼拶礼、完纳天课。他们若做到这些，他们的血和财产就受到我的保护，除非依法应当受罚；至于他们的内心，则由真主清算。"（布哈里、穆斯林）
"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)
