For Against

- Faith - faith and therefore the Shahadah, is a private - Public roles - Shahadah has too many public roles e.g,
matter between Allah and an individual believer. call to prayer, aqiqah, nikkah.

- Shahadah - literally means ‘bear witness’, or actively
advocate for this truth.

The shahadah is more to do with private faith than public declaration as personal faith and intention is more important than
anything else to a muslim.
