Abu shahadah biography sample

The Shahadah and Abu Hurairah. The prophet Abraham who, although not a Jew or a Christian, was such an excellent example that God commanded His Prophet Muhamad to follow him. And the Prophet Mohamed responded by saying:. Why then have millions of people been entrapped into following the teachings of Abu Hurairah a mysterious person from the shadows of Hadith literature?

Could it be that they have rejected the teaching of the Qur'an while believing they have not done so?

The perfect Example of the Prophet (pbuh).

God says:. The Shahadah. To profess their faith in Islam the Sunnis make this declaration: "I bear witness that there is no god except God and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of God. This testimony is called the Shahadah and according to Sunni belief it must be recited by every Muslim as an attestation of their allegiance to Islam.

Consequently any person who does not 'bear witness' is not accepted as a Muslim by them. However this testimony is not sanctioned by the true teachings of the Prophet Muhamad, which are found in the Qur'an, the veritable word of God. Many people may feel astounded at this statement especially as the Shahadah is considered to be the foundation of Sunni faith.

The Prophet, peace be on him, welcomed Abu Dharr and invited him to Islam.

This is why it is important to take a careful and critical look before reaching any impulsive conclusions. For the Sunni, the purpose of the Shahadah is many folds. For example without reciting the Shahadah, the Sunnis consider their prayers to be nullified. Also before a newcomer is accepted into the Sunni sect, a public declaration by reciting the Shahadah in front of witnesses must be made.
