According to Comparative Religion for Dummies, Lazarus and Sullivan go on to explain the Five Pillars of Islam by starting with the first pillar, which is Creed. Creed, which is also known as Shahada, is a public declaration of faith with the declaration specifically stating, "I bear witness that there is no God but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is his messenger"" (Lazarus and Sullivan 130). A Muslim must make the public declaration at least once in a lifetime, although most recite it daily. By reciting this declaration, they are able to integrate into the religious community, and similar practices can also be seen in the religions of Christianity and Islam.
