Key to enter Islam
A.There is no deity worthy of worship but Allah .

• The meaning of the Testimony
None to worship except Him
None to fear except Him
None to Hope except Him
None to ask except Him
None to complain to except Him
I bear witness there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah
2. Prayers
The five daily prayers
