Shahada is the belief that Allah (SWT) is the only god and that Muhammad (SAW-PBUH) is his messenger.

This is the basic statement of the Islamic faith: anyone who cannot recite this wholeheartedly is not a Muslim.
When a Muslim recites this they proclaim:
That Allah is the only God, and that Muhammad is his prophet That they personally accept this as true That they will obey all the commitments of Islam in their life The Shahadah is the first of the Five Pillars of Islam.
Becoming a Muslim
Reciting this statement three times in front of Islamic scholars is all that anyone need do to become a Muslim.
A Muslim is expected to recite this statement out loud, with total sincerity, fully understanding what it means.
The Arabic can be transliterated into the Roman alphabet like this:
Ashhadu Alla Ilaha Illa Allah Wa Ashhadu Anna Muhammad Rasulu Allah Transliteration of the shahadah from the Arabic
The Shahadah is written in Arabic on the flag of Saudi Arabia, the state that contains Islam's holiest places.
Salat
Salat is the obligatory Muslim prayers, performed five times each day by Muslims. It is the second Pillar of Islam.
God ordered Muslims to pray at five set times of day:
Salat al-fajr: dawn, before sunrise Salat al-zuhr: midday, after the sun passes its highest Salat al-'asr: the late part of the afternoon Salat al-maghrib: just after sunset Salat al-'isha: between sunset and midnight
Despite having these set times, Muslims can pray at any time as well as doing these. The extra prayers done are called Nofl Namaz.
All Muslims try to do this. Muslim children as young as seven are encouraged to pray.
A male must start praying at the age of seven but a female must pray only after they become a certain age. If a male does not pray by the age of 12, then it will be counted as a sin.
