Fortress of the Muslim
Hisn al-Muslim 209
Arabic hadith text
لا إلهَ إلاّ اللّه وحدَهُ لا شريكَ لهُ، لهُ المُلْـكُ ولهُ الحَمْـد، يُحْيـي وَيُميـتُ وَهُوَ حَيٌّ لا يَمـوت، بِيَـدِهِ الْخَـيْرُ وَهوَ على كلّ شيءٍ قدير
Translation
There is no deity but Allah alone, without partner. His is the dominion and His is the praise. He gives life and causes death, and He is Living and does not die. In His hand is all good, and He has power over all things.
Translation notes
لا إلهَ إلاّ اللّه
The witness expands the declaration with “none has the right to be worshipped,” which is not explicit in this source text.
Should the interpretive expansion be noted in editorial review?
