The declaration of faith is the first of the five pillars of Islam, because it is very important. Declaring faith mean being dedicated and loyal to the religion. It means you sincerely believe in Islam, you are willing to follow the beliefs, and that there is no other god but Allah.

Answer:

This is called Shahadah. it is important because it means that you will have to dedicate the rest of your life to Allah

Step-by-step explanation:

Shahadah translates to "testify" and it's the declaration of faith to only one god (Allah) according to ismalic faith and Mahoma's teachings.

"There is no god but God, Mahoma is the messenger of God" it's the literal translation of the prayer.

Only those who say it honestly, out loud and with the two witnesses required by the traidition, can consider themselves as muslims.
