The eternal truthof all existence is that LA ILAHA ILLAALLAH: "there is nothing worthy of beingworshipped except God," meaning thatthere is no so-called "god", deity, or entityworthy of worship and absolute obedienceexcept for the One Creator. This is thetestimony of faith of a Muslim that involvesthe following requirements: 1. God alone deserves to be worshipedand obeyed in an absolute sense. Nonehas the right to be worshiped alongwith or besides Him. All statements, acts and hidden intentions must agreewith what the Almighty has designated.All actions of man must be performedfor the Pleasure of the Almighty. 2. A Muslim is required to believe in theNames and Attributes that God hasgiven Himself, or those attributed to Himthrough revelation by His Prophet andMessenger ����. No one may attribute anyname or quality to God by speculationthat neither God nor His Prophet andMessenger have attributed to Him. Hemust not offer any undue explanation, similitude thereof, or express an opinionconcerning these Names and Attributesof God. God the Exalted says in the"There is nothing like unto Him, and He isthe All-Hearer, the All-Seer." [42:11]3. Man must submit himself to God, in faith with total and sincere belief, declaring with his tongue, acceptingwith his heart and showing with hisactions the truth of the statement that"So know, [O Muhammad], that there isno deity except Allah and ask forgivenessfor your sin and for the believing men andbelieving women. And Allah knows of yourmovement and your resting place." [47:19]4. Human beings are obligated to givefull and total submission to the Will ofGod. This is based on the instructionis not for a believing man or a believingwoman, when Allah and His Messengerhave decided a matter, that they should[thereafter] have any choice about theiraffair. And whoever disobeys Allah andHis Messenger has certainly strayedinto clear error." [33:36]
