up the actual Shahadah?
Ashadu an la ilaha illa illa-ilah,
wa ashadu anna muhammadan rasuloollah.

Allah.“ x3
a) Speech bubble (clearly!) someone saying the
Shahadah in English.
b) Describe how a person becomes a Muslim.
**Why wouldn’t a Christian say and believe the
Shahadah?
You MUST believe the Shahadah to
be a Muslim.
Reciting this statement three times
in front of witnesses, with full
understanding of what it means, is
all that anyone needs to do to
become a Muslim.
When else do Muslim’s recite the Shahadah?
"There is no God but Allah, and
Muhammad is his messenger.“

death, & label it .
Add in an extra arrow if
someone converts into Islam.
**Is saying a declaration of
faith a good enough way to
belong to a religion?
Muslims hope
that they will
be the last
words that
cross their lips
before they die.
When a baby is
born the father
will whisper it into
the baby’s ear so
that it is the first
thing it hears.
Teach it to their
children as soon
as possible.
Repeat it several
times each day
between getting
up in the morning
and going to bed
at night.

calligraphy
