[size=15pt]La Ilaaha Illa Allah Muhammadan Rasuwl Allah.[/size]
There is no God but Allah, and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.

Muslims call this kalimat tayyiba, “the best word.”

This is not found written like this, anywhere in your Koran! However, they are found in several verses. But they are broken into two parts; they are never together as one sentence. “Laa Ilaaha Illa Allah ” is found alone in Koran 37:35 and 47:19, and in Koran 33:40 and 48:29[b] “Muhammadan Rasuwl Allah”[/b] is found alone.
This is how it is written in the Koran of the Muslims. They are never found in the same place! Yet, the flag of Saudi Arabia (photo), which is where “the holy of holies” sit, in Mecca, has the same declaration, “the Kalimat Tayyiba”, written on it.
Many of the Islamic books, posters, and leaflets have this man-made verse. However, if you or I were to take two verses from the Koran, and put them together to create one sentence, like “La Ilaaha Illa Allah ”, they would call it shirk (associating partners with Allah) and have a heart-attack saying “as-taghfir Allah, hum min al kaafiriyn” meaning “seek forgiveness in Allah, they are disbelievers” or they will seek to kill you!


The flag of Saudi Arabia

Which one be this again? Abeg to find faults with other people's religion is not by force.

My friend Horus is at it again. Whats your point sir

@ Poster

Interesting, learning about Islam is very joyful and easy.

The statement "There is no God except Allah, and Muhammad is His Messenger" is called "Kalimat Shahada".

It is not mentioned completely in the Qur'an, likewise, it is not a verse in the Holy Qur'an, but a "Submission Statement".

Essence of the statement is to;

1. Testify that there is only One God, and no one is worthy of worship except Him who creates the heavens and the earth, and all that are within them
2. Testify that Prophet Muhammad is the Messenger of God, and the Holy Qur'an is the true word of God sent through Angel Gabriel

NB: Not all what we say in our worship is mentioned in the Holy Qur'an, like the following;

The Call to Prayer
The Invocation while bowing - "Subhana rabbiyal azim wa bihamdihi"
The Invocation while prostrating - "Subhana rabbiyal a'ala wa bihamdihi"
Salatul Ibrahimiyya - "Allahumma salli ala Muhammad wa ala ali Muhammad kama sallaita ala Ibrahim wa ala ali Ibrahim, "

So many other statements and invocations are from the Hadiths (Examples) of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), which is the second most important source of guidance to all Muslims.

@Horus

Are u asking a genuine question u want to understand or u are accusing muslims of fabricating the kalimatu shahadah?

Your answer would determine the kind of response that will suit you.
