Two distinct versions of the Shahada(testification i have seen....Is there a universally acctepted version? Is there a version taken directly from the Quran or Hadith or both?

I am confused and slightly depressed about this.imsad+o(:cry:...it seems such a fundamental thing as what words one uses to convert should be simple to find out.
 
Only one version brother

Ash hadu Allah illaaha Illallah Wa Ash hadu anna Muhammadan Abduhu Wa Rasooluh

I bear witness that none has the right to br worshipped except Allah and I also bear witness that Muhammad Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam is His slave and Messenger
 
you might have heard the Shi'a's version too: ashadhu an la ilaha ila allah, wa ana muhammadun rasuulu allah, wa ana ali wali allah.

But there is only one as the brother said :D
 
ah, you mean the one where there is an "and he is Allah's servant/slave" added? that is not necessary to add, though the meaning is not different.

عن أبي عبدالرحمن عبدالله بن عمر بن الخطاب رضي الله عنهما قال : سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول : ( بني الإسلام على خمس : شهادة أن لا إله إلا الله ، وأن محمدا رسول الله ، وإقام الصلاة ، وإيتاء الزكاة ، وحج البيت ، وصوم رمضان ) رواه البخاري و مسلم

I do not know whay this has to be so hard.... I keep getting different versions for the Shahada everytime i ask which one to use. Can someone please give me the answer the whole Ummah abides by? (this is getting downright depressing)
 
Ash hadu Allah Ilaaha Ilallah, wa ash hadu anna Muhammad Rasool Allah.
 
"no God but Allah, Muhammad is his messenger" is the standard and minimum, it's ok to say the others, since the meaning is not altered and they have been mentioned in several ahadeeth, but again, that is the standard.

:sl: akhi.. it doesn't matter what version you use so long as in your heart you profess that there is No God but Allah swt and that Mohamed is his messenger..
