You mean Kalima Shahaadat?
The translation is “I testify that there is no god except Allah (swt) and I testify that Muhammad (pbuh) is His slave/worshipper and messenger.”
Don’t tell me you didn’t know that.

I think the literal meaning is words/utterance.
But it would be better described as the Islamic creed.

No worries bro, don’t mention it.
Call it Shahada...Tell them it's called Shahada...
Their is no English word for it...
However, the word 'Shahada' itself means testimony...
