THE CHARACTER OF A FOOL

Psalm 53:1; Psalm 107:17; Psalm 74:22; Psalm 10:4; Proverbs 10:23; Romans 3:10

The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.”
They are corrupt, and their ways are evil;
there is none who does good.

NOW READ ABOUT THE FOOL HERE:

The Shahada: “La ilaha illallah Muhammadur Rasulullah” (Qur’an 3:18; also see Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 56, Number 725).
“There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.”
This is the Shahada recited by Muslims or by anyone wishing to become a Muslim.

The four words “la ilaha illallah” mean as follows:

• la = no, not, none, neither

• ilaha = god, deity, object of worship

• illa = except, but (a contraction of in-lâ, literally “if not”)

• Allah = Allah

Therefore, beginning with Allah, Muhammad, and those who recite the Shahada — according to the Psalmist’s biblical definition — all are described as fools, for they deny the true God of the Bible.

Shalom.
