The Two Testifications of Faith

The non-Muslim embraces Islam by believing in the Two Testifications of Faith and uttering them with the intention of leaving out blasphemy (never to return to non-Islam): 'I bear witness that no one deserves to be worshipped except Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah'  A person may utter the testification of faith in either Arabic or English. If one cannot pronounce the letter (ha) correctly when saying Muhammad, one says 'Abal-Gasim Is The Messenger of Allah' instead.

The month of Ramadan

 
The integrals of fasting are two: 1- To make the intention each night to fast the following day of Ramadan. Making the intention at night to fast the following day of Ramadan means to have the intention in one's heart to fast during the night preceding the fasting day, i.e., after sunset and before the dawn of the following day. Sometime during that time, the person must make the intention to fast the following day. This must be done each night for the following day of fasting. As related by at-Tirmidhiyy, An-Nasa'iyy, and others.

The Prophet praised the Arabic Language

The Prophet, sallAllahu ^alayhi wa sallam, praised the Arabic language and ordered that we love it. The Arabic language is the language of the inhabitants of paradise and is the first language that Prophet Adam spoke in paradise. Moreover, it is the language with which Allah sent down the Qur’an. Hence, it is not permissible to cuss it or mock it.
