According to Yahya Ondigo's book "Shahadah and Its Essential Conditions," a Muslim's evidence of faith must meet seven requirements in order for Allah to accept it. These consist of honesty, knowledge, truth, assurance, obedience, acceptance, and loving and hating for Allah's sake. Most Muslims are accustomed to the shahadah, yet it is disheartening to observe that many of them are unaware of the seven requirements that go along with it.

For all Muslims who want to live as sincere believers and stay faithful to their testimony, this is a text they must read.
