Kapau naʻe ʻi ai ha tui fakamāmāni lahi ʻa e ʻIsilamí, te tau pehē ko e shahada (sha-HAD-ah), ko hono “fakahā ʻo e tuí,” pe “fakamoʻoní.” ʻOku ʻuhinga e foʻi leá ki ha founga faka-ʻAlepea ʻoku liliu ʻo peheni: “ʻOku ou fakamoʻoni ʻoku ʻikai ha ʻotua ka ko e ʻOtua ko ʻAlā [Allah] pea ko Mohāmetí ko ha Talafekau ʻa e ʻOtuá.” Ko e shadada ʻa e hūʻanga ki ʻIsilamí. Ko hono lau maʻuloto ia ʻi he tui fakamātoató, ko e hoko ko ha Mosilemí.

(Ko Mohāmeti pē ʻoku meimei ui fakamāmani lahi ko e palōfita fakamuimuitahá.) ʻOku ʻuhinga foki ʻeni ʻoku ʻikai ʻi ai ha siasi ke tuʻusi mei ai e kau tautoitoí pe “kau tui ki he tokāteline kehé.”

ʻI he ngaahi lotu hoʻatā Falaité, ʻoku fie maʻu ke ʻi ai ʻa e kakai tangatá pea ʻoku poupouʻi e kakai fefiné ke nau lotu ʻi ha temipale (mei he foʻi lea faka-ʻAlepea masjid, pe “feituʻu ʻo e fakatōkilaló”). ʻOku nau faʻu ai ha ngaahi laine ʻi ha kulupu ʻoku fakamakehekeheʻi ai e kakai fefiné mei he tangatá, ʻo lotu fakatatau ki he angi ʻa e taki (imam) ʻo e temipalé (ee-MAAM, mei he foʻi lea faka-ʻAlepea ko e amama, ko hono ʻuhingá “ʻi muʻa ʻi he”), mo fanongo ki ha malanga nounou. Ka neongo iá, ʻoku ʻikai faʻa tatau e Falaité mo e Sāpaté; neongo ʻoku fakatefito e “fakaʻosinga ʻo e uiké” ʻi ha ngaahi fonua Mosilemi lahi ʻi he yawm al-jumʻa (“ko e ʻaho ʻo e tānaki fakatahá”) pe Falaité, ʻa ia ko e ngāue ʻi he ʻaho ko iá ʻoku lau ia ko ha faiangahala.

(ʻOku faʻa kau atu foki mo ha ʻaʻahi ki Metina, ʻa e kolo māʻoniʻoni fika ua ʻi he ʻIsilamí, ka ʻoku ʻikai ko ha meʻa pau ia ke fai.) ʻOku hoko hono fai ʻení, ki he kau faivelenga Mosilemí, ko ha aʻusia makehe mo fakalaumālie ʻaupito, ko ha meʻa ʻoku hangē ko e ʻi ai tonu ʻi he konifelenisi lahí pe ko e fuofua hū ʻi he temipalé.

Hangē ko ʻení, ʻoku pehē ʻe he ngaahi maʻuʻanga tokoni fakalao kuo fakamafaiʻí ko e jihad fakakautau ʻoku ngofuá, kuo pau ke fai ia ko ha maluʻi moʻui pea kuo pau ke ʻuluaki fai ha fakatokanga ki he faʻahi fakafepakí mo ʻoange ha faingamālie ke taʻofi ai ʻenau tōʻonga fakatupu moveuveú. ʻOku ʻi ai ha kau ʻilo lao mo ha kau filōsefa Mosilemi he ngaahi ʻahó ni ʻoku nau pehē ko e jihad ʻe lava ke fakahoko ai ha faʻahinga ngāue pē ʻoku fakataumuʻa ki he lelei ʻo e kolo faka-ʻIsilamí, pe lelei fakalukufua ʻa e māmaní. ʻOku pehē foki naʻe fakafaikehekeheʻi ʻe Mohāmeti e “jihad lahi angé” mo e “jihad siʻi angé.” Naʻá ne pehē ko e fakamuimuí, ko e ngāue fakakautaú ia. Ka ko e jihad lahi angé, ko hono tauʻi ia ʻo e fakamaau taʻetotonú kae pehē foki ki he feinga fakataautaha ke moʻui angatonú.

Naʻe toʻo mei he Qurʻan mo e hadith—ko ha ngaahi lipooti nounou ʻo e meʻa naʻe lea mo fai ʻe Mohāmeti mo e niʻihi naʻe feohi vāofi mo iá, ʻa ia ʻoku ʻomi ai e sīpinga ki he ʻulungaanga ʻo e Mosilemí kae pehē ki ha tānaki mo e fakamatala ki ha ngaahi potufolofola faka-Qurʻan-—ko ha tuʻutuʻuni ki he tuʻunga ʻulungaanga ʻo e Mosilemí.10 ʻOku kau ʻi he shariʻa ha ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ki he teuteu ʻa tangata mo fafiné (hangē ko e hijab, pe ko e pūloú); pea neongo ʻoku fakamamafaʻi ia ʻi ha ngaahi fonua Mosilemi ʻe niʻihi, ʻoku tuku pē ia ki he fili fakafoʻituituí ʻi he ngaahi fonua ʻe niʻihi. ʻOku kau he ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ʻi he shariʻa ʻa e moʻui maʻá; taimi mo e meʻa ke lea ʻaki ʻi he lotú; mo e ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ki hono puleʻi e nofomalí, veté, mo e maʻu tofiʻá.
