Mishkah Academy’s New Shahada Classes guide you through declaring your faith and taking your first steps into Islam — live, one on one, with a certified Al-Azhar scholar by your side as a supportive witness, and a certificate to mark the moment.
The Shahada — “I bear witness there is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is His messenger” — is the single sentence that makes you a Muslim. It requires no mosque, no audience, and no ceremony. But saying it for the first time, understanding exactly what you are affirming, and knowing what to do in the hours and days that follow, is easier and more meaningful with a real teacher guiding you through it.
This course covers your first steps: the meaning of the Shahada, your first prayer, and the basics of daily worship. For the complete, ongoing foundation that follows — Islamic creed, comparative religion, ethics, and community — continue with our New Muslim Converts Course.
