Shahada
念功/清真言
The Shahada is the creed of Islam. The Arabic creed translates to: “There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is his messenger.” The Shahada is divided into two parts: the first - “There is no god but Allah” - is a confession of Tawhid, the oneness of God upon which all Islamic theology is based. The second - “Muhammad is [God’s] messenger” - confesses the belief in the prophethood of Muhammad, from which comes Islam’s complete ethical code. Shi’a Muslims often add “Ali is the vicegerent of God” as a third confession, which Sunnis condemn as a fabricated addition. The full text of the Shahada does not appear in the Qur’an, but can be found in various hadiths.
念功/清真言是伊斯兰教的教旨。其阿拉伯语的教义可以译作：“万物非主，唯有真主，穆罕默德是主的使者。”清真言分做两个部分：第一部分，“万物非主，唯有真主”，是认主学的祷告，是伊斯兰教神学的一神论基础。第二部分，“穆罕默德是主的使者”，祷告穆罕默德的先知地位，由此伊斯兰教的完全的伦理准则得以产生。什叶派穆斯林经常会加上第三条忏悔，即“阿里是主所喜悦的”，而逊尼派谴责此为一多余的编造。清真言的全文并未出现在可兰经里，但可以在不同 的圣训中见到。
