Yaa Taybah - يا طيبة /

The Meaning of the Two Testifications in brief: “No one is God except Allah” means that nothing deserves to be worshipped except Allah, Who has no beginning and no end to His Existence. He is attributed with all proper perfection. All His Attributes are not like the attributes of the creation. Allah’s Attributes have no beginning and no end and they do not change. God is not like His creation at all. He is not a body. He does not have a form, shape, or size. He is not imagined in the mind. All what we imagine is created. God is not like His creation at all. God created all places and He is not in need of any places. God exists eternally before creating all places and after creating places, God does not change. He exists without a place. He is not in the sky or on earth or on the throne. What is in a place has a volume and Allah is not a volume. He created all bodies and He is not a body. Allah knows about everything. He sees without eyes and hears without ears. He does not need instruments. He is not like His creation in any way. He does whatever He wills, i.e., whatever Allah willed to be shall be and whatever Allah did not will to be shall not be. Believing in Prophet محمد entails believing that he is the last and the best of all the Messengers of Allah. He was truthful in everything he conveyed from Allah. All Prophets called to the Religion of Islam. Prophets worshipped God even before they received the Revelation. They never commit blasphemy (kufr) such as worshipping idols and they never commit enormous sins such as fornication. They are also protected from committing small mean sins such as stealing even one grape. Whoever claims that Allah is in the sky or on the Throne or that He has a face or hands or any shape is contradicting al-Qur’an. This person is not a Muslim. He would have to say the Two Testifications of Faith to become a Muslim. To become a Muslim is easy. One believes in the meaning of the Two Testifications and one says them with the tongue in a way one can hear oneself even if there is no one else hearing. One should not delay becoming a Muslim if one is not a Muslim. If one is not able to say the name of the Prophet correctly محمد, then one can say “Abou Al-Qaasim” instead. The Prophet was called that. So, one would say: “No one is God except Allaah and Abou Al-Qaasim is the Messenger of Allaah.
