P4 "شروط لا إله إلا الله The Conditions Of Lā-Ilāha-Ilallāh" :
The testimony of faith (Shahādah)

The Meaning of Ash-Shart (Condition)

The scholars of Usūl have defined ash-Shart as follows,

‘The presence of a certain matter depends on the condition’s fulfilment, and its negation necessitates the negation of the matter. However the mere presence of the condition (solitarily) does not necessitate the absolute presence of the matter.’

For example, one of the conditions of the Shahādah is testifying and pronouncing it and ones Shahādah cannot be correct without it. By performing this condition in isolation, without fulfilling the other conditions does not necessitate the correctness of one’s Shahādah. However, if the condition of pronouncement on its own is not enacted, then ones Shahādah is rejected in its entirety, whatever other conditions you may have fulfilled.

And this is the same for the rest of the conditions of the Shahādah, which Inshā’Allāh we will go on to present in more detail in this work. Ones Tawhīd and Shahādah can only be correct with the presence and fulfilment of all the conditions collectively. The mere lacking of any one of the conditions prevents the realisation of the Shahādah in its completeness.
