Riyad as-Salihin, 390
'Abdullah bin 'Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) reported:
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "I have been commanded (by Allah) to fight people until they testify that there is no true god except Allah, and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and perform Salat and pay Zakat. If they do so, they will have protection of their blood and property from me except when justified by Islam, and then account is left to Allah". <b>[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]</b>.
وعن ابن عمر رضي الله عنهما، أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال:
أمرت أن أقاتل الناس حتى يشهدوا أن لا إله إلا الله ، وأن محمداً رسول الله ، ويقيموا الصلاة، ويؤتوا الزكاة ، فإذا فعلوا ذلك عصموا مني دماءهم وأموالهم إلا بحق الإسلام، وحسابهم على الله تعالى
((متفق عليه)) .

<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br>
1) The disbelievers should be fought until they enter into Islam, the proof of which is to pronounce the Two Testimonies of Faith, and to fulfill the requirements of Tawhid.<br>
2) Actions should be accepted and judged according to their apparent nature in the worldly life.<br>
<br>
<b>Benefit:</b><br>
The Word of accepting Islam: “La ilaha illa Allah” (There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah) is the key to Islam. Verily, every key has teeth, and the teeth of the Word of Tawhid are the good deeds, the most superior of which are carrying out the Shariah obligations, the supplements of faith, as well as shunning prohibitions.
