Sometimes people may feel that they are not ready to take the Shahadah based on where they are in life or their perceptions of other Muslims.
Sh. Abdullah Oduro answers the question “When should a person take the Shahadah?” and explains that your journey is about the personal relationship you have with Allah (swt). The Shahadah ignites that relationship. The time to take this step is now, insha’Allah.
