Summary Of The First Kalima Tayyab
There are two segments of the first Kalima Tayyab. The first segment represents the concept of the oneness of Allah (Tauheed), It means, there is no God but He, and believing Him and accepting His supremacy is the core belief of every Muslim. The second segment of First Kalima represents the concept of believing that Hazrat Muhammad (SAW) is the last prophet and messenger of Allah and there will be no prophet after him (Risalat). Acquiring both of these concepts is the fundamental principle of every Muslim if he/she has to safeguard himself in Duniya and as well as in Akhirah.
