The (1st) First Kalma also named “Tayyab” which means the word of purity. It represents the first pillar of Islam which is divided into two segments.
The first part represents the concept of the oneness of Allah (Tauheed). The second segment of First Kalima represents the concept of believing that Muhammad (ﷺ) is the last prophet and messenger of Allah.
It comes right before the 2nd Second Kalma -Shahadat-.
Acquiring both of these concepts is the fundamental principle of every Muslim if he/she has to safeguard himself in Duniya as well as in Akhirah.
