First Kalima: La ilaha illallahu Muhammadur Rasulullah

Translation of first kalima

There is none worthy of worship except Allah (subhanahu wa ta’ala) and Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) is the Messenger of Allah.

Narrated Ibn ‘Umar (radi allahu anhu): Allah’s Messenger (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said: Islam is based on (the following) five (principles):
1. To testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah (subhanahu wa ta’ala) and Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam)
is Allah’s Messenger (La ilaha illallahu Muhammadur Rasulullah).
2. To offer the (compulsory congregational) prayers dutifully and perfectly.
3. To pay Zakat (i.e. obligatory charity).
4. To perform Hajj (i.e. Pilgrimage to Mecca).
5. To observe fast during the month of Ramadan.

Mu`adh bin Jabal (radi allahu anhu) reported: The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said, “He whose last words are: `La ilaha illallah’ (There is no true god except Allah (subhanahu wa ta’ala)) will enter Jannah.”
