How true are you to "Laa Ilaa ha illa Allah"?
La Ilaa ha illaAllah. What is it?
Well, the phrase ‘Laa Ilaa ha Illallaah’ is found in the first pillar of Islaam, the shahaadah, and the whole religion of Islaam is based on it. In fact, it is the most important reason for Allaah (swt) sending all the prophets and messengers throughout time immemorial:
