Meaning, spiritual background, and authentic virtues from the Sunnah

✦The Foundation of Islam and the Best Dhikr

The First Kalimah (Kalimah Tayyibah: 'La ilaha illallahu Muhammadur Rasulullah') is the cornerstone of Islamic belief and the gateway into the faith. Prophet Muhammad ﷺ explicitly stated: 'The best Dhikr is La ilaha illallah' (Jami' at-Tirmidhi 3383). Reciting it constantly purifies the spiritual heart and establishes unshakeable Tawheed.

✦Reciting One Tasbeeh (100 Counts) of Kalimah Tayyibah

In daily Islamic tradition, when a believer undertakes 'one Tasbeeh' of Dhikr, reciting Kalimah Tayyibah 100 times daily is the most renowned practice. Using our free online Tasbeeh counter lets you maintain exact count with haptic vibration feedback, whether on mobile or with the Spacebar on desktop.

What is the First Kalimah in Arabic text and English translation?▼

Arabic: لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللّٰهُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللّٰهِ (La ilaha illallahu Muhammadur Rasulullah). English: 'There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.' Urdu: 'اللہ کے سوا کوئی معبود نہیں، محمد صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم اللہ کے رسول ہیں۔'

Why is First Kalimah called Kalimah Tayyibah?▼

'Tayyibah' means pure, wholesome, and sacred. It is named Kalimah Tayyibah because it purifies the reciter from polytheism (Shirk), doubts, and spiritual hypocrisy, planting a pure tree of faith described in Surah Ibrahim (14:24).
