Here is the video of the lecture presented by Abdullah al Andalusi at the University of Salford [UK] on the 9th March 2015, giving a rational exposition on the meanings, significances and implications of the Shahadah: The Muslim testimony of Belief.
In the lecture, Abdullah breaks down and discusses the wording behind the two statements that comprise the Shahadah and delve into the reasons why the Shahadah formsĀ the 1st Pillar of Islam, and how this pillar is fulfilled by those that profess it.
