First Kalima Meaning and Translation

The First Kalima, known as the Kalima Tayyibah (Kalimat al-Tawhid), is a fundamental declaration of faith in Islam, stating the oneness of Allah. It is expressed as:

Arabic: لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللهُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللهِ

Translation: There is no god but Allah, Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.

1. La ilaha illallah emphasizes monotheism, the belief in the oneness of God, rejecting the existence of any deity worthy of worship except Allah.
2. Muhammadur rasoolullah acknowledges Muhammad as the last prophet sent by Allah to guide humanity.

The First Kalima is the core of Islamic belief, encapsulating the essence of Tawhid (the Oneness of God) and the acknowledgment of Muhammad as His final messenger. Reciting this with conviction is the first step in converting to Islam, highlighting its significance in the faith.
