Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We received this question from one of the brothers. He says that he is a new Muslim who accepted Islam before Sha'ban, and that Allah the Exalted has granted him the ability to fast in the blessed month of Ramadan. He asks about the meaning of La ilaha illa Allah and how he can realize it, given that he is new to Islam?
Answer:
You realize it by not worshipping anyone but Allah. La ilaha illa Allah means that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah the Exalted. Thus, you realize tawhid (the oneness of Allah) by singling out Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) for worship. This is the meaning of this great phrase. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you
