CHAPTER III

Syahadat
a.Faith and Tauhid in Islam
Our brain and our heart says that amazing world and its system is not
appear freely. The world that make people amaze is impossible appear without
the authorization of Creator. Exactly there is a Creator of this world and its
system with Its unlimited authorization and unlimited knowledge. Creator make
sure that the creation of world is has purpose. Impossible the Creator create is
useless, and no one can free from Creators rule. 1

b. The definition and prerequisite of syahadat

The first islamic pillar is say syahadat. So if there is a people who will join
Islam, he/she must to read, know, and reflect syahadat too. The lafal of
syahadat is :

Not only we say syahadat, but also know the mean and belief with our
heart. Beside mean of the statement, it include a something like we must
accept to get a prisoners at the world and the beyond if we break Allahs rule. It
is also mean that syahadat nurturing muslim to erect amar maruf nahi
munkar.
Beside it, syahadat can give notification to non muslim in order to islamic
value of muslim is not annoyed by them.
Syahadat is divide by 2 kind, first is syahadat tauhid, and the second is
syahadat to belief Muhammad SAW as a prophet of Allah.
We must know that not enough for us to just belief one kind of syahadat.
We must belief it both in order to make your faith clearly.2

Syahadat Tauhid
First sentence : laa ilaha illallah () , is someone admitted with
oral and his heart there is no god except the right of Allah Almighty as
meaning al - Ilah ma'luh ( which worshiped ). Meaning, there is no god is
right / correct except Allah. And this phrase implies the removal and
determination that no God we can believe except Allah SWT. Sentence
exception ( ) and determination ( ) and ( )is jalalah lafadz from badal
accent from further inside the khabar ( )that meaning no one, so the most
important in syahadat tauhid is we believe that just Allah is our God, no other.
And this implies is we can purify worship is for just for Him to abolish the
worship of other.
Allah Azza Wajalla says :

(101 :)
Karena itu tidaklah bermanfaat sedikitpun kepada mereka sesembahansesembahan yang mereka seru selain Allah diwaktu azab Rabbmu
dating(QS. Huud: 101)
And His saying :
Kami sekali-kali tidak menyeru sesembahan selain Dia(QS. Al-Kahfi: 14).

Syahadat Rasul
Second sentence : the meaning of the lafal Muhammadar Rasululloh is
say with oral and believe with heart that Muhammad ibn Abdillah is the
Messenger of Allah to all His creature.
Allah saying in Al Quran :

Maha suci Allah yang telah menurunkan Al-Furqon kepada hamba-Nya agar
dia menjadi pemberi peringatan kepada seluruh alam (QS. Al-Furqon: 01).
The consequence is confirmed Syahadat Messenger of Allaah alaihi wa
sallam about what His commanded, we must away from what he prohibited
and no worship to Allah except by way prescribed by it. The consequences of
this creed also not convinced that the Messenger of Allah have the right and

regulate natural or rights in worship, but he is a just servant and an apostle

who does not lie , and he does not have the slightest ability to provide benefits
and mudharot to himself or anyone else except what is willed by God as
Allah.3

c.

The position of Syahadat

Syahadat is located in first on islamic pillars. Without syahadat, other
islamic pillars will fall out. Its also behave faith pillars. Before we erect faith
pillars, we must erect islamic pillars first. And the erect of islamic pillars is must
pass syahadat first.
Rasulullah SAW says Islam is like building. For nicely standing of
islamic building, its must have 5 pole, syahadatain, shalaat, shaum, zakat, and
haji to Baitullah.4

d. The

actualization

of

syahadat

in

worship

and

muamalat If we are an obedient moslem, we must prove our syahadat. Not

only just say it, but also do the worship. After we belief that Allah is our God and
Muhammad SAW is our Prophet, we still have obligation to do some worship,
like shalaat, shaaum, pay zakaat, and doing Haji if we able to do it.
The actualization of syahadat in worship and muamalat:
1. Syahadat as pillar of Islam
If someone belief Islam, and actualize the syahadat, he/she will be able
to prove his syahadat with all worship, so syahadat is important thing in
Islam.
2. Syahadat as basis of change
3 Rifai, Moh. 2011. Risalah Tuntunan Sholat Lengkap. Semarang: PT. Karya Toha Putra
4 Zaim Elmubarok,mengenal islam,(Semarang: UPT MKU UNNES,2008),page.35

Syahadat is thing can grow up spirit of muslim and muslimat for better
change in theirs life.
3. Syahadat as essense of Rasuls mission.
Syariat that bring along by rasul can have any differences, but the
important content is same that is faith to Allah dan avoid thogut. Its mean
that syahadat is very important thing to spread Islam widely.
4. Syahadat as any superior.
Syahadat can rescue someone from Allahs punishment, not only in the
world but also in afterlife. Its also become a factore vanished sin, and
become a factore someone who will go into heaven, its mean that
syahadat can make someone not eternal in the hell. 5

e. The influence of Syahadat toward humans life

Muslim society is a society that symbolizes the principles to all important
things . Without show any Islamic principles, eventhough the things are
important in the realization of society , but that society can not be said of
Islamic society .
The first feature that distinguishes the form of the Muslim community
appear
to this community stands is on the basis of the inhibition of human beings to
God alone in the whole matter . This inhibition is represented and shaped by
the creed of La ilaha illa Allah , Muhammad Raasulullah.
This is the Muslim community , the community that symbolizes worship
themselves to God alone , in the belief and conception of its members , the
social system and their laws , and also in their religious ceremonies and
worship . If any one of these aspects that are not there , then Islam itself does
not exist. Because there was actually just the first Pillars : La ilaha illa Allah ,
Muhammad Raasulullah .6

Creed damage such as damage to the gates of heaven , so practicely we
could not be brought in . There are many thing can destroy our creed . So , we
must be careful to maintain our creed because if our creed is damaged , our
deeds will be in vain.
