La Ilaha Illallah Wahdahu La Sharika Lah
لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له
Text Size:
La Ilaha Illallah Wahdahu La Sharika Lah is an extension of the Shahada, meaning "There is no god but Allah alone, without any partner." This phrase is a comprehensive declaration of monotheism, specifically targeting the rejection of "Shirk" (polytheism). It is often recited as part of the morning and evening "Adhkar" and after the daily prayers. The statement affirms that Allah is unique in His essence, His attributes, and His right to be worshipped, providing the believer with a clear, uncompromising framework for their faith and spiritual devotion. The phrase adds two key elements to the basic Shahada: "wahdahu" (alone) and "la sharika lah" (no partner for Him). These additions emphasize the absolute oneness of Allah, rejecting any form of association with Him. The Prophet taught that this extended form carries immense reward. He said that whoever says "La ilaha illallah wahdahu la sharika lah, lahul mulku wa lahul hamdu wa huwa ala kulli shay'in qadir" (There is no god but Allah alone, without partner, to Him belongs the dominion and to Him belongs all praise, and He is over all things competent) 100 times a day will have the reward of freeing 10 slaves, 100 good deeds recorded, 100 sins erased, and protection from Shaytan for that day. This phrase is particularly emphasized after the Fajr and Maghrib prayers, as part of the morning and evening Adhkar. It is a powerful affirmation of Tawhid that sets the tone for the day and provides protection. The phrase "wahdahu" (alone) negates any partners in divinity, lordship, or worship. "La sharika lah" (no partner for Him) explicitly rejects shirk in all its forms. Together, they establish the pure monotheism that is the core of Islam. In daily practice, reciting this phrase repeatedly reinforces the foundational belief of Islam. It serves as a shield against the subtle shirk of seeking approval from people, trusting in created beings, or fearing anything besides Allah. It also cultivates reliance on Allah alone, knowing that He is sufficient and has no need of partners. In a world where people often look to multiple sources for security, success, or salvation, this phrase reorients the believer to the One who alone possesses all power, all dominion, and all praise.
