8 Conditions of Laa ilaaha illallaah
Posted by islamicbasics on July 27, 2007
It is not enough for a person to merely utter the statement Laa ilaaha illallaah (none has the right to be worshipped except Allaah) for them to enter Islam or be a Muslim. There are conditions that have to be met by the individual uttering the shahaadah. These conditions are 8, and we will go through each one of them in the following posts, if Allaah wills. All conditions must be met, and the absence of anyone of them makes the shahaadah (testimony) of the individual invalid. Laa ilaaha illallaah is the key to paradise, and the conditions are like the ridges of the key. For the gate of paradise to open the person must come with the key having the right ridges.
Conditions of Laa ilaaha illa Allaah
1. Al-’ilm – Knowledge
2. Al-yaqeen – Certainty
3. Al-iklaas – Sincerity
4. As-sidq – Truthfulness
5. Al-Mahabbah – Love
6. Al-inqiyaad – Submission
7. Al-qabool – Acceptance
8. Al-Kufr biT-Tawaagheet – Disbelief in Tawaagheet (pl. of Taaghuut- all false deities- refer to previous post )
InshaAllaah I will use notes from Dr.saleh’s classes for the explanations of the conditions. Click here for audio. The transcribed notes are available online but the link is not working. When I can view it I will post the link inshaAllaahu ta’ala.
