'Îsâ (Jesus) said, "O Children of Israel! Worship Allâh, my Lord and your Lord." Verily, whosoever sets up partners (in worship) with Allâh, then Allâh has forbidden Paradise to him, and the Fire will be his abode. And for the Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrong-doers) there are no helpers. (Al-Ma'eda 'The Table Spread': 72).
Therefore the word of "La Ilaha Illa Allah" is the call of all the prophets, and it is the title of Tawheed (Islamic Monotheism), and it is the most trustworthy handhold, and it is the word of salvation, the prophet (pbuh) said, "Whomsoever his last words were La Ilaha Illa Allah enters Paradise" .. Thus, is it just a word to say and we do anything we want after saying it?
La Ilaha Illa Allah (There is no Deity worthy to be worshipped but Allah), a way of life
Say (O Muhammad ): "Verily, my Salât (prayer), my sacrifice, my living, and my dying are for Allâh, the Lord of the ‘Âlamîn (mankind, jinn and all that exists). "He has no partner. And of this I have been commanded, and I am the first of the Muslims." (Al-An'am 'The Cattle': 162,163).
So the word of Tawheed (Islamic Monotheism) is not just a word to say nor mere ideas to believe in, on the other hand, Iman (Belief) is knowledge, acts (upon this knowledge), belief and Shari'ah (law); thus it is belief in Allah, His angels, messengers, the day of reckoning, predestination; good and bad, it is obedience to Allah and sincerity, and following the prophet (pbuh) with submission (to what he says); it is the love for Allah, fear of Him and expectation of His Grace; it is supplication, begging and submission to Allah only; it is giving thanks (to Allah) for (His) blessings, being patient in trial and in obedience (worship), and keeping away of desires.
It is Salah (prayer, the form of worship), fasting, Zakah (obligatory almsgiving), Hajj (pilgrimage to Makkah) and Jihaad (struggle); it is slaughter, vow, swearing only by Allah alone without partner; it is seeking that which is Halaal (permissible) and avoiding that which is Haraam (forbidden); in food, drink, wear and earnings; it is filial piety, keeping ties with kith and kin, kindness with neighbors, good manners with all people; such as keeping promises, keeping deposits and avoiding deception; it is avoiding Ribaa (usury), bribe and gambling; it is making Allah's Shari'ah (law) a judge, abidance by it and approval of Allah's Hukm (ruling); it is lowering one's gaze, guarding one's chastity, concealing that (of your body) which is forbidden to be seen (by others); it is calling people to Allah, supporting religion (Islam), enjoining that which is Ma'ruf (i.e. Monotheism and commandments of Islam), forbidding from that which is Munkar (i.e.
disbelief of all kinds and things that Islam forbids), establishment of Shari'ah (Islamic Law) all over the earth; it is belonging to the party of believers, the party of Allah and leaving all the parties of delusion, the followers of Shaytaan (Satan).
Narrated by Abu Dawud, Al-hakim and he labeled it as authentic, and so did Al-Albaany[/gdwl]
