La ilaha ilallah

La ilaha ilallah ( _ar. لا إله إلا الله) is considered, along with belief in the divine mission of Muhammad, to be the key belief of Islam.

One English translation is "There is no god but God". Sometimes the Arabic word "Allah" remains untranslated, i.e. "There is no god but Allah". Allah is the contraction of "Al-Illah", in which "al" means "the One", and "Illah" means god. So the more realistic version would be "There is no god, but the One God." It has also been translated in other ways, e.g. "There is nothing worthy of worship but The Divine."

La ilaha illallah is referred as Pehla kalma "Tayyab" in Urdu.
