Thanks for the replies, all. I feel I have been somewhat misunderstood here. I am definitely not ascribing anything to any prophet; I was talking about a specific tradition for converts from Christianity (which I believe comes from a hadith). In any case, I appreciate the supporting sura in the Qu'ran! I'll not press this thread further.

Asalam alaykum all,

I am a recent revert, coming from Catholicism. I found it quite beautiful to read of people coming from this direction adding the addition of "wa ashadu an na Isa ibn Maryam rasullah"; a sign of respect of the former faith while an affirmation (being the shahadah) of the truth of Islam.

What are thoughts on this? Are there preferred formats of how to make this addition, and would one typically only say it sometimes, or during Salah, etc.? Any issues with doing so?

Best,
D
