Fortress of the Muslim
Hisn al-Muslim 152
لا إلهَ إلاّ اللّهُ وَاللّهُ أَكْبَـر، لا إلهَ إلاّ اللّهُ وحْـدَهُ، لا إلهَ إلاّ اللّهُ وحْـدَهُ لا شَريكَ لهُ، لا إلهَ إلاّ اللّهُ لهُ المُلكُ ولهُ الحَمْد، لا إلهَ إلاّ اللّهُ وَلا حَـوْلَ وَلا قُـوَّةَ إِلاّ بِالله
There is no deity except Allah, and Allah is greatest. There is no deity except Allah alone. There is no deity except Allah alone; He has no partner. There is no deity except Allah; to Him belong dominion and praise. There is no deity except Allah, and there is no might or power except through Allah.
Translation notes
لا إلهَ إلاّ اللّهُ
The witness repeatedly expands the declaration with ‘worthy of worship’ or ‘has the right to be worshipped’; these phrases are not explicit in the Arabic wording.
Should the witness’s explanatory worship gloss be included in this repeated formula?
