Reversion (Shahadah)
The Shahada is the Islamic declaration of faith. It is the statement: “Ash-hadu an la ilaha illa Allah, wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan Rasulu-Allah.” (Translation: “I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.”)
Meaning & Importance
- The first part (“there is no god but Allah”) affirms the central concept of monotheism in Islam.
- The second part (“Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah”) emphasises belief in the prophethood of Muhammad and also underscores that Muslims must not associate partners with Allah.
- The article explains that the Shahada is the most sacred statement in Islam, and it must be recited with full understanding and mindfulness of its meaning.
Role in Muslim life
- It is one of the five pillars of Islam — the foundational acts of worship and commitment.
- The Shahada is recited in the call to prayer (adhan) and within the five daily prayers (salah).
- For someone embracing Islam, reciting the Shahada formally marks their acceptance into the Muslim community.
- In Muslim tradition, it is desirable for a baby to hear the Shahada as early as possible (sometimes as part of the adhan at birth) and for a person to say it as their last words at death.
The Shahada is the Arabic declaration of faith in Islam: “I bear witness that there is no god but Allāh, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allāh.”

The scouts is a faith based organisation established in 1909 and is known throughout the world. It was with great pleasure then that in 2009, a Muslim scout group was formed at Noor Ul Islam. Officially known as 1st Waltham Forest South, the group was established on key principles – to develop future leaders, to establish Islam in the hearts of our youth and to create ambassadors for our faith.
Scouting presented a wonderful opportunity for children to gather and engage in both learning and fun based activities, in an Islamic atmosphere. As they engage, they earn badges to place on their uniforms. This helps them to have a sense of achievement for their efforts. Scouting aims for the children to develop physically, mentally and spiritually.
We have three terms per year with breaks that coincide with the school holidays and Ramadhan. All sessions begin with the children forming a circle and reciting Quran.
At present there are four sections (beavers, cubs, boys scouts and girls scouts). Highlights throughout the year include camping (fun for all ages and something most children will do for the first time), scouts contribution to the summer fete, trips arranged for each group each term (for example to the Science Museum, the Planetarium, the London Central Mosque and others). There are also popular treks through woodland and forests – often with muddy results!
Some of the most loved sessions include the pre-Ramadhan and Hajj session. Other sessions include activities such as cooking, DIY, physical activities and creativity. Special visits from the Mayor of Waltham Forest, scouting dignitaries and the emergency services (planned of course!) are also highlights. At the end of the term there are award ceremonies that parents attend to see their children receive the badges.
The Noor ul Islam Scouts group itself relies on volunteers who give up their time, for the sake of the community and the children – to help build a future for our community with Islam firm in our hearts. May Allah bless and preserve them.
