SHAHADA
Shahada is the declaration of faith. It is believing that “There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad ﷺ is the Messenger of Allah.”
YOUR JOURNEY
Taking your declaration of faith, the shahada, is perhaps the most important moment of your life, the beginning of a new chapter and a formal acknowledgement of your becoming a Muslim.
Whether you are ready to take the next step, have questions you need answers to, or just want to learn more about Islam, you’ve come to the right place!
THE CEREMONY
Shahada ceremonies are usually intimate affairs. Typically, they are held in a private setting with just a handful of people serving as witnesses, alongside the officiating Imam and a member of Ujala Foundation. You may wish to invite family, friends & colleagues to join you in celebrating this momentous and life-changing occasion! Whatever you choose, we provide a safe and welcoming environment for your shahada ceremony.
SUPPORT GROUP
At Ujala Foundation, we have a dedicated support group for anyone who is interested in Islam or has already taken shahada, the testimony of faith. Whether you know a little or have been learning about Islam for years, this in-person support group with other converts is a valuable source of information, guidance and practical help. Even if you’re not local, they can connect you with a network of helpful new Muslims!
HELPFUL RESOURCES
The amount of information available online regarding Islam can sometimes be overwhelming and confusing, with trustworthy and relevant resources hard to identify…
Whether you need to learn to pray, want to understand the Qur’an or would just like to learn more about Islamic spirituality and practice, we have collated a thematic list of helpful resources to help get you started.
This visual guide covers how to physically perform the ritual prayer, also known as Salah. It covers exactly what to say and when during both the compulsory Fard prayers as well as the Sunnah prayers for all five daily prayers.
For more context around what Salah is, its importance and requirements including ritual ablution or Wudu, see this comprehensive guide on learning to how to pray.
Whilst videos are more helpful when it comes to learning to pray, books are also very helpful. Here are some of books we recommend on Salah.
