Question:
All right. What is the difference between “I bear witness that there is no god but Allah” and “I bear witness that there is no god but Allah,” and is both of them correct?
Answer:
No, the first one is not correct. “I bear witness that there is no god but Allah.” Rather, you say “I bear witness that there is no god but Allah,” assimilating the nun into the lam with shaddah. This is what is required by formal Arabic, yes.
