- This video is an examination of the Two Shahadas (Testimonies of Faith) La ilaha illa Allah ,Muhammadu Rasoolullah in light of the Quran. The Quran provides evidence for one Shahada which is La ilaaha Illa Allah only. This video provides Quranic evidence exposing the corruption in the Shahadah .

Alhamdulillah...such an important aspect of our core belief. Sadly, We have drifted so far away because of those false narratives. Jazak Allah Khair brother
Salamualaikum brother. May Allah bless you and give you hedaya to explore quraan bring out true meaning of God's revelation. I keep remind to my self and to all my friends and relatives and well wishers that not be surprised to see on the day of judgement that the most inhabitants of jahannam are muslims(us) due to our ignorance unless Allah forgive us.
MashaAllah! The real question is: what was Muhammad's shahadaah? Is it possible that the prophet would make shahadaah to himself? May God guide all who are yet come to terms with the simple fact that God alone is deserving of all praises....
Exactly brother! The true Shahadah is simply LA ilaaha illa Allah
@@submittersperspective8251 Monotheists, including the Jews and some Christians can say that there is no god except God but this does not make them 'muslim', submitters to Allah, as they are following corrupted scriptures. Allah has revealed the Qur'an and those who follow Him through it are rightfully true muslims, and in order to separate the right from the wrong I do not see why it is wrong to have as an act of declaration of faith the additional wording "and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah". This provides those who want to know what we believe with a clear statement of fact, making it known what we follow which a LA ilaaha illa Allah, does not do.
It is not belittling this statement, nor an act of shirk to put Muhammad along with Allah in the declaration if you are Qur'an alone as we are not submitting to him, as the LA ilaaha illa Allah clearly states that our Lord and Master to follow and be Guided by is Allah alone.
There is this verse that adds weight to my argument:
48:29 Muhammad is God’s Messenger. And those who are with him are stern towards the deniers, and compassionate among themselves. You can see them bowing, adoring (Him), as they seek God’s bounty and acceptance. Their signs (of belief) are on their faces, the effects of adoration. Such is their likeness in the Torah and their likeness in the Gospel. They are like a seed that brings forth its shoot, and then He strengthens it, so that it grows stout, and then stands firm on its stem, delighting those who have sown it. As a result it enrages the deniers at them. And God promises forgiveness and an immense reward to those who attain belief and do acts of beneficence. [The very first sentence in this verse says, Muhammad-ur-Rasoolullah (Muhammad is God’s Messenger.)
So if the Qur'an can declare this fact, then I do not see why we cannot.
I repeat, it is not wrong or an act of shirk to make our declaration there is no god except God and Muhammad is the Messenger of God. Messenger and God are not the same, we know that and the declaration says it.

This is a general statement from Allah
And we are not commanded to proclaim it. Allah always commands His slaves what to say by the word 'say, in the verse where it is appropriate.
But the current Shahada does not mean we are committing SHIRK , but we are excluding other Prophets from declaring our faith in them. Allah clearly commands it in several verses.
Also Allah says He gives testimony to Himself and to 'Mohammad is the messenger of Allah'.
We are to follow the rulings of Allah only, if otherwise, that would be a SHIRK. Allah is the sole giver of laws . He does not associate anybody/anything with him in giving rulings
@@reazulabrar9187 It is not a command to say it but I feel it best sums up what we are.
As for shirk, having Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah does not make it an association in ibadat, unless, of course, you go head long into Bukharianism, hadith and sunnah following/ibadat/obedience. Because of this shirk, keeping away from Muhammad in the shahada declaration would make sense, but in Qur'an alone this does not come into the equation as Messenger gives the Message of Allah, Qur'an alone.
I honestly think the prophet would be disappointed that people over praise him to the level where people hang his name next to Allah's in houses. Nice video brother, and God bless.
La ilaha Ilallah . Peace be up on you .
Peace be upon you too
It is not our job or responsibility to declare Prophet Mohammad as the messenger.
Allah appointed Prophet Mohammad as the Messenger and indeed He (Allah) declared that.
May Allah guide us all to the right path! Thank you so much for this simplicity in the Quran that makes it easy for us to understand. Please I do ask a question is there an easy Quran to follow and which author? Please let me know so I can start reading right away
لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا ٱللَّٰهُ

Praise the ALLAH ALONE only God of the Universe
Praise God, excellent...👍

I always thought that the second part of the shaada was to mean our pledge of allegiance to the ummah of Muhammad in particular, within the larger ummah of monotheism. A political specification, so to speak, not a spiritual one. When it comes to remembering and praising Allah, i never mention no other name, and i find very disturbing when i see some masjid where on the sides of the minbar, in front of you as you are making salat, there's the names of Allah on one side and that of Mohammed on the other.
Tawheed by definition refers to the declaration of God's oneness . So it cannot have a pledge of allegiance to a human being attached to it . This would mean that belief in the oneness of God is as important as allegiance to Muhammad and that is shirk. Both are separate and should never be together.
@@submittersperspective8251 in fact, as i said, i always saw it as two different things: a declaration of oneness of Allah, the essence of Islam, and the alliance to a specific ummah throughbits leader. A transcendental alliance, and a worldly one, so to speak: the problem, for me, is when the prophet is attributed the power to legislate in matters of faith, seen as infallible, perfect, or things like that, that put him on a higher stand that he should be and interfere with tawheed, as most followers of hadit do.
Thanks for the reply, and keep up the good works: i discovered your channel yesterday and I've already watched and enjoyed all your videos.
As salam alaikum!
Also what separates a person who believe in the oneness of Allah but not in the Qur'an, from the Muslim who does, if not the fact that the later recognizes Muhammad as a legitimate messenger and therefore the Qur'an as an authentic message? Just thinking out loud, would love to hear your view.
@@musamusashi I don't believe a true monotheist can reject the Quran. Anyone who claims to believe in the oneness of God , cannot possibly reject a message that proves and confirms the very same truth they claim to believe in . As a matter of fact, the Quran is the criterion with which we can recognise true monotheists from the idolators.
@@submittersperspective8251 but this would contradict the universality that you also spoke about in one of your videos. I am positive that there's many people around the world that sees the oneness of the Creator and do not abscribe to Him any partner, but yet never got a chance to meet the Qur'an: what about them?
According to Quran we know that the followers of Abraham, Moses, Jacob, Isaac, Lot, Jesus - all were Muslims. So how they could declare that Muhammad is the messenger of God?
mashallah nice spread true islam
I have been trying to find the words of salat in the quran I found sura fatiha and sura iklhas I can't find the other suras in the quran can someone please tell me why are they they not in the quran.
Assalam alaikum brother, what is your view on surah 48, ayat 10 where it says
Those who pledge allegiance with you (by placing their hands in your hand)- they, in fact, pledge allegiance with Allah. Allah’s hand is over their hands. Then, whoever breaks his pledge breaks it to his own detriment, and whoever fulfils the covenant he has made with Allah, He will give him a great reward.
W'salam pledging allegiance to the messenger, obedience to the messenger etc is obedience and allegiance to God as he is the Source of the message. However, Tawheed is an entirely different aspect of religion as "oneness", absoluteness are the very fundamental attributes of God and they are what makes him God. No verse or commandment in the Quran contradicts this . When God speaks of his oneness , you will not ever see him bringing a messenger or any creature for that matter, into it. Thus the second shahadah contradicts the concept of tawheed .
Well done
Great job brother may ALLAH RUB UL IZAT bless and protect you
Shahda is only for ALLAH RUB UL IZAT (Oneness of GOD ALLAH)
All Prophets of ALLAH are equal and no distinction among them, or you are denying QUR'AN. Be very careful, just picking one is absolutely against Qur'an.
Do your homework
So what is the shahada and how would you perform it please ?
It is simply LA ilaha illah Allah or Ashhadu An LA ilaaha illa Allahu wahdahu LA shareekalahu
Only
لا اله الا الله العزيز الحكيم
@@submittersperspective8251

Salam, I have been Quranist since 2001, although there are better options in Qur'an regarding testimonies, there is nothing wrong in syahadatain 😊
I totally agree, but in case we're forced to present two syahada, then it will be enough to say
اشهد ان لا اله الا الله
محمد رسول الله
Wrong
Shahda only for ALLAH RUB UL IZAT
Don't yall believe in the living tradition? Early Muslims had a living tradition before Hadith was written down, it's preserved in Fiqh books and because Fiqh wasn't a united institution there wasn't a good motivation to corrupt it unlike Hadith. Do you believe that all the Islamic history is a lie or something?
Any tradition that has no support or validation in the Quran cannot be a source of guidance for a Submitter ( Muslim ) . This is our position . If you referring to the jurisprudence, again the source has to remain the Quran alone . Any other book or source that is human made may contain falsehood or error whether intentional or not and thus cannot serve as an authority in Deen. Traditionalists have taken these works as a source besides the Quran and claim that without these works of the past , the Quran isn't complete or capable of guiding the world. This contradicts the very message and claims of the Quran.
@@submittersperspective8251 I see you're trying to avoid all interpretations that lead to following the prophet's example, know that the prophet used to be asked about certain things and these are not from the style of the Qur'aan to be a verse, like all historians know that Islam had a living tradition of which its followers practiced, Islam reformed the Arabian society and many things have changed, it would be absurd to think that all the early generations and school of thought didn't pray 5 times or didn't say the two testimonies, I suggest you read about Mu'tazilah works so you can see that what yall are doing is just degeneration from your Islamic legacy.
Is tradition more important or gods law
