Question:
May Allah bless you and reward you. 'Abd al-Mu'min Muhammad, an Egyptian resident in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, asks: What is the meaning of "La ilaha illa Allah," and how does a Muslim realize this testimony in speech and action?
Answer:
Its meaning is that there is no deity worthy of worship, truly, except Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). This is the meaning of "La ilaha illa Allah." It negates all deities other than Allah and affirms divinity for Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) alone, with no partner. So the phrase "La ilaha illa Allah" contains a negation and an affirmation: the negation of all divinity from everything other than Allah, and the affirmation of it for Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.
