32 Also the first phrase of the Declaration of Faith, what is the main principle of the Declaration of Faith?
Answer: La ila ha illa Allah (There is no god but God)

(laŻ ilaŻhaŻ illaŻ Allah) I threw a sort of curve ball as Subhanahu wa ta'ala does not mean 'I believe in the last day' but actually means '[raised and exalted is He (God)' and is written after the word God is written in the Quran. But even with the correct translation, it is still incorrect. Inna lillahi wa inna ilahi raji'un (Verily we belong to God, and to Him we return) is said by a Muslim when someone dies. Alhamdulillah while meaning 'Praise to be God' in religious usage, its used in common day tongue as 'Thank God'.

laŻ ilaŻhaŻ illaŻAllah (There is no god but God) is a binding principle that unites all Muslims, and emphasizes the monotheistic belief in one God.

36 What does Jihad literally mean?
Answer: Struggle

Contrary to popular belief, Islam abhors violence in any form. Jihad is an Arabic word meaning 'struggle'. In Islam, it means struggle for the sake of Allah. I think the best translation of Jihad has been done by Abu Bakr al-Kasani. He translates it as: 'Jihad linguistically means to devote exertion--meaning energy and ability, or an exaggerated amount of work in striving--and in the legal realm it is used for the devotion of energy and ability in fighting in the path of God with one's self, wealth, and tongue, anything else or an exaggerated amount of that.'
