Welcome to the New Shahada Page at Masjid Freehaven. We are honored that you have chosen to embark on this sacred journey of faith, and we are here to support you every step of the way.

What is Shahada?

Shahada is the declaration of faith in Islam, affirming belief in the oneness of Allah and the prophethood of Muhammad (peace be upon him). It is the first and most fundamental pillar of Islam.

Why Shahada?

Embracing Islam through Shahada is a profound and life-changing decision that brings spiritual fulfillment, guidance, and a sense of belonging to the Muslim community. It is a declaration of one's submission to the will of Allah and acceptance of His divine guidance.

Embracing Unity through the Shahada

Brotherhood and Sisterhood in Islam: Becoming Part of Our Community

Shahada, the declaration of faith in the oneness of Allah and the prophethood of Muhammad (peace be upon him), is more than a statement—it's a commitment to join a vibrant and welcoming community. When you embrace Islam and recite the Shahada, you become part of a family bound by faith, love, and mutual respect.

Our community, predominantly African American but inclusive of all backgrounds, exemplifies the bonds of brotherhood and sisterhood. By coming together in various activities—communal prayers, study circles, charity events, and shared meals—we reinforce our connection to each other and to our faith.

Brothers and sisters in our community support and uplift one another, creating an environment where everyone feels welcome and valued. This unity is the foundation of our strength and the essence of our Islamic identity.

By taking the Shahada, you are not only affirming your faith but also joining a community that will support you in your spiritual journey and everyday life. We invite you to learn more about Islam and experience the warmth and unity of our masjid. Welcome to our family.
