25 رجب، امام موسیٰ کاظمؑ کی شہادت۔
قید، زنجیریں اور تنہائی، مگر صبر میں کوئی کمی نہ آئی۔
ظلم کے مقابل خاموش استقامت ہی آپؑ کا پیغام ہے۔

One of the five pillars of Islam is Shahadah. A Muslim’s journey begins with Shahadah. It is a declaration of faith.

How do I take the Shahadah? - New Muslim Q&A by Islamwise channel

Shahadah is basically saying there is none except Allah (God) worthy of worship and Muhammad (ﷺ) is His messenger. It is usually said in Arabic accompanied by the meaning.

The Arabic version differs slightly depending on country and culture. As long the meaning is same it should be fine. The most popular version is this:

أشْهَدُ أنْ لا الهَ الاّ الله

أشْهَدُ أنَّ مُحَمَّداً رَسُولُ اللّه

Transliteration: ašhadu ʾan lā ʾilāha ʾilla -llāh ašhadu ʾanna muḥammadan rasūlu -llāh

Translation: I testify There is no deity but God. I testify Muhammad is the Messenger of God.

I found another version in a Sahih Hadith source here that has Arabic text, transliteration and meaning.

After believing it and saying it, a person becomes a Muslim. It is ideal to say it in front of 2 witnesses, but it can be said alone too in privacy.

One thing to note is that nobody can be forced to take Islam. Quran says “Let there be no compulsion in religion…” (Al-Baqarah 2:256). Anybody willing to take Islam has to do it voluntarily.
