  3. The Creed

Hadith Whoever says 'lā ilāha illa Allah (there is no god but Allah)' and disbelieves in everything worshiped besides Allah, his property and blood becomes inviolable, and his reckoning will be with Allah

The Creed Belief in Allah the Mighty and Majestic Oneness of Allah's Worship

عن طارق بن أشيم الأشجعي رضي الله عنه قال: سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول:
«مَنْ قَالَ: لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، وَكَفَرَ بِمَا يُعْبَدُ مِنْ دُونِ اللهِ حَرُمَ مَالُهُ وَدَمُهُ، وَحِسَابُهُ عَلَى اللهِ».

Tāriq ibn Ashīm al-Ashja‘i (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) say:
"Whoever says 'lā ilāha illa Allah (there is no god but Allah)' and disbelieves in everything worshiped besides Allah, his property and blood becomes inviolable, and his reckoning will be with Allah."

Authentic Narrated by Muslim Sahīh Muslim - 23

Explanation

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informs that if a person says and bears witness that "there is no god but Allah" - which means that none is truly worthy of worship except Allah - and disbelieves in everything worshiped apart from Allah and disavows all other religions besides Islam, his property and blood become inviolable to the Muslims. We only judge according to his apparent reality. So, his property may not be taken, or his blood be shed unless he commits a crime or an offence that entails such punishment as per Islamic laws.
And Allah will be responsible for his reckoning on the Day of Judgment. If he is sincere, He will reward him, and if he is insincere, He will punish him.

Benefits from the Hadith

  1. Uttering "there is no god but Allah" and disbelieving in all that is worshiped other than Allah is a prerequisite for entering Islam.
  2. The meaning of "there is no god but Allah" is to disbelieve in all that is worshiped besides Allah, such as idols, graves, and other things, and to devote worship to Allah Almighty alone.
  3. Whoever holds the belief of Tawhīd (monotheism) and outwardly adheres to its ordinances should be spared any harm until he shows something contrary to that.
  4. The property, blood, and honor of a Muslim are inviolable, unless for a just cause.
  5. Judgment in worldly life depends on the outward aspect, whereas in the Hereafter, it depends on intentions and objectives.
