The 1st Kalima, called Kalima Tayyib (كلمة طيب), means “The Word of Purity.” This Kalima is the foundation of Islamic faith and the first step to becoming a Muslim. This Kalima declares belief in one God (Allah) and confirms that Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is His Messenger.
The Kalima in Arabic is:
لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللّٰهُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللّٰهِ
It means:
“There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.”

Explore 1st Kalima
The 1st Kalima (Kalima Tayyibah) consists of two key parts, each describing a fundamental aspect of the Islamic faith: Tawheed (Oneness of Allah) and Risalat (Prophethood).
Tawheed (Oneness of Allah)
The first part of the Kalima is:
لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللّٰهُ
(There is no god but Allah)
This part talks about Tawheed, which means believing that Allah is the only true God. It means that no one else is worthy of being worshipped or praised except Allah. Muslims believe that Allah has no partners, no children, and no one beside Him. Tawheed is the most important belief in Islam.
Risalat (Prophethood of Muhammad)
The second part of the Kalima is:
مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللّٰهِ
(Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah)
This part talks about Risalat, which means believing that Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the last messenger sent by Allah. Muslims believe that Muhammad (peace be upon him) was chosen to guide people, sharing Allah’s message through the Quran and his actions. Accepting Risalat means believing that Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the final prophet.
Together, these two parts of the Kalima represent the main beliefs in Islam: Tawheed (believing that Allah is the only God) and Risalat (believing that Muhammad is the last messenger).
