last 4 conditions

5 - Love which negates hate: one must love this statement (laa ilaha illa Allah), its implications, and its adherents who act according to its meanings. Also, one must love Allah and His Messenger, giving preference to loving them over all objects of love.

And of mankind are some who take (for worship) others besides Allâh as rivals (to Allâh). They love them as they love Allâh. But those who believe, love Allâh more (than anything else). If only, those who do wrong could see, when they will see the torment, that all power belongs to Allâh and that Allâh is Severe in punishment. (Al-Baqarah 2:165)

6 - Inqiyad: complience, submission, adherance as oppose to denial: one must sumbit himself to all that this magnificent statement requires of him - Allah almighty says, "and turn in repentance to your Lord and submit to Him (In Islam). [surah az-zumar: 39:54]

submission means complience to Allah's commands.

7 - Acceptance which negates rejection: one must accept all of the implications of this phrase, both with his heart and tongue, for Allah Almighty says: "say, 'we belive in Allah and that which has been sent down to us..." [2:136] - As for those who say it without accepting it, they are those about whom ALlah Almighty says,

Truly, when it was said to them: Lâ ilâha ill-Allâh "(none has the right to be worshipped but Allâh)," they puffed themselves up with pride (i.e. denied it). (As-Saffat 37:35) And (they) said: "Are we going to abandon our âliha (gods) for the sake of a mad poet? (As-Saffat 37:36)

8 - Disbelief in all that is worshipped other than Allah, Allah says,

There is no compulsion in religion. Verily, the Right Path has become distinct from the wrong path. Whoever disbelieves in Tâghût and believes in Allâh, then he has grasped the most trustworthy handhold that will never break. And Allâh is All-Hearer, All-Knower. (Al-Baqarah 2:256)

The Prophet sallallahu alayhe wa sallam said, "whoever says, 'laa ilaha illa Allah,' disbelieving in all that is worshipped other than Allah, his wealth and blood becomes inviolable, and his account is with Allah. [Muslim]
