The famous sectarian (sunni) testimony goes like this:
"I bear witness that there is no god but God, and I bear witness that Mohammad is God's servant and His Messenger".
But there is something wrong here.
According to the Quran:
When God alone is mentioned, the hearts of those who do not believe in the Hereafter shrink with aversion. But when others are mentioned beside Him, they become satisfied. [Quran, 39:45]
When the hypocrites come to you they say "We bear witness that you are the messenger of God" God knows that you are His messenger, and God bears witness that the hypocrites are liars. They take their oaths as a cover, they turn away from the Way of God. Indeed, it is evil that they are doing. They believed, then disbelieved. That is because their hearts are sealed so they do not understand. [Quran, 63:1-3]
Conclusion:
To witness that Muhammad is God's prophet is a testimony of the hypocrites, as the verses clearly stated above.
We are NOT TO ASSOCIATE anyone with God, also we are NOT TO MAKE ANY DISTINCTION among God's prophets.
And those who believe in God and His messengers, and do not make distinction between any of them, to those He is going to give their rewards. And ever is God Forgiving and Merciful. [Quran, 4:152]
It is written in Arabic; "la ilaha illa Allah" ("there is no god but God"). The other part of the sentence which the Sunnis are using, that about Muhammad being God's messenger, is actually a complete sentence, it does not even belong with the first part of the sectarian sentence in the so called shahada! Somebody added them together to the already existing and complete sentence of the fact that there is only ONE god and that is GOD!
God bears witness that there is no god except Him, and so do the angels, and those who posses knowledge, standing in justice. There is no god except Him the Almighty, the Wise. [Quran, 3:18]
