LA ILAHA ILLA ALLAH - THE WAY OF LIFE
OF ISLAM
'La Ilaha illa Allah" -
"There is no deity except Allah'
is the first part the Islamic declaration of faith, meaning that there is no one to be worshipped except God; "Muhammadar
Rasul Allah"
"Muhammad is the Messenger of God; -
is the second part, meaning that this worship is to be carried out according to the teaching of the Prophet _
peace be
on him.
A believing Muslim is one into whose heart this declaration has penetrated completely, as the other pillars of Islam and articles of faith are derivatives of it. Thus, belief in angels and God's Books and God's Messengers and the life hereafter and al-Qadr (the measurement of good and evil), and al-Salat (prayers), al-Siyam (fasting), al-Zakat (poor-due) and al-Haii (pilgrimage), and the limits set by God of permissable and forbidden things, human affairs, laws, Islamic moral teachings, and so on, are all based on the foundation of worship of God, and the source of all these teachings is the person of the Prophet - peace be on him - through whom God has revealed to us.
