Shahadah: Show your faith with Native Deen!

                   Showing faith is not easy in this modern city. Many distractions draw us away from what we believe. The first pillar of Islam, Shahadah, is one of the hardest to do here in LA. The Shahadah states: “There is no God but Allah, and Muhammed is the messenger of Allah”.  These words are whispered into a baby’s ear at birth and the last thing that many Muslims hope to say. These words are our fundamental belief, and it assures that we not only believe in one God, but we pledge our submission to Him, and we believe in angels, prophets, and a day of judgement. Though you should say the Shahadah many times a day, we found another way to profess your faith: through hip hop! Native Deen is an Islamic musical group from Washington, DC. Their music strives to inspire young people to keep their Islamic faith in spite of the pressures and temptations of daily life. One of our favorite Native Deen songs is M-U-S-L-I-M, a song that shows muslim pride in a fun way. 

So always be proud, you can say it out loud

I am proud to be down with Muslim crowd!
