Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I work in a da'wah (calling to Islam) office for expatriate communities, and one of the residents has embraced Islam. However, he asks me and says: Is it sufficient for me to say, "There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah," or must I also perform deeds, given that I am unable to implement some of the matters?
Answer:
Yes, one does not enter Islam except by testifying that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. Then one turns to acting in obedience to Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and obedience to His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and remains steadfast upon that. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
