Geloofsbelijdenis / Creed (Sjahada)

  • أَشْـهَدُ أَنْ لا إِلـهَ إِلاّ الله ، وَأَشْـهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمّـداً رَسـولُ الله
  • asjhadoe ʾan lā ʾilāha ʾillā-llāh, wa asjhadoe anna moeḥammadan rasōēloe-llāh
  • Ik getuig dat er geen god is naast Allah en dat Mohammad zijn boodschapper is

Slide 13 - Slide

Bidden / Prayer (Salat)
الصّلاة

Geven aan armen /  (Zakat)
