British citizenship

[Abu Maariya]

Salaam all.

Another potential issue a number of us could be facing or have already faced.

I have just applied for British citizenship for my wife and the process involves a citizenship ceremony. In the ceremony from what I have read must say either of the following:

The affirmation of allegiance
I (name) do solemnly, sincerely and truly
declare and affirm that on becoming a British
citizen, I will be faithful and bear true
allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the
Second, her Heirs and Successors, according
to law.
I will give my loyalty to the United Kingdom and
respect its rights and freedoms. I will uphold its
democratic values. I will observe its laws
faithfully and fulfil my duties and obligations as
a British citizen.

The oath of allegiance
I (name) swear by almighty God that on
becoming a British citizen, I will be faithful and
bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen
Elizabeth the Second, her Heirs and
Successors, according to the law.
I will give my loyalty to the United Kingdom and
respect its rights and freedoms. I will uphold its
democratic values. I will observe its laws
faithfully and fulfil my duties and obligations as
a British citizen

My question would be would this allegiance be allowed? Would the respected Ulema who have chosen to reside in the UK have followed this process?

JazakAllah Khair

this should be useful,

make a pledge not an oath of allegience

JazakAllah Khair. You must make an oath or allegiance. You have a choice of this. However the pledge is a must for both. That's what i understood from that information that they are 2 separate things.
