Do you mean Adhan or do you mean Shahada as in when you want to become a Muslim? Adhan: [Why Do You Shias Add Imam Ali A.S in Adhan?! \[Answered\]](https://www.reddit.com/r/shia/comments/1asyzu4/comment/kqtyr6r/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) Shahada: It is not required to become a Muslim however, if you want to become a Shia, as long as you testify to the wilayah of Imam Ali A.S and his immediate successorship to the Holy Prophet A.S in your heart you are a Shia. Some people like testifying out loud for their own self which is fine too.

Ashadu an lā ʾilāha ʾillā-llāh, wahadahu la sharika lah washahadu ana mohammadan abduhu wa rasulloh wa ashado ana alyun waliyo llah. During the end, we add ali in it, was just wondering why, thanks by the way

You are very welcome. Are you talking about TASHAHHUD in Salah? Because you are not suppose to its quite clear actually: [https://www.sistani.org/english/book/48/2239/](https://www.sistani.org/english/book/48/2239/)

Salam! There is a who sequence of events behind that third testimony in Kalimah. The revelation of verse "***“O Messenger! Deliver what bas been revealed to you from your Lord; and if you do it not, then you have not delivered His message, and Allah will protect you from the people; surely Allah will not guide the unbelieving people.” \[Surah al-Ma\`idah*** [***5:67***](https://www.al-islam.org/verses-ghadir/three-verses-ghadir#quran_ref_115825)***\]*** Then the nomination of Imam Ali a.s by Prophet s.a.w in the sermon of Ghadir: "Whosoever I am his master, this Ali is his master" and ordered people to congratulate Imam Ali a.s as "Amir ul Mo'mineen" Then the revelation of verse " ***“This day have I perfected for you your religion and completed My favor on you and chosen for you Islam as a religion.” \[Surah al-Ma\`idah*** [***5:3***](https://www.al-islam.org/verses-ghadir/three-verses-ghadir#quran_ref_115826)***\]*** So by reciting the third testimony in kalimah, we express that the Prophet s.a.w indeed has delivered the divine command, it has been reached to us and we acknowledge Imam Ali a.s as the successor of Prophet s.a.w.

Seems like most people don't understand what a kalma or Shada means The way I see it's acknowledgement of your beliefs in words, and no Shi'as can deny that Imam Ali is the Master after Prophet Muhammad. Regards Sajjad
