The Excellence of ‘La ilaha ‘illa Allah’
‘There is None Worthy of Worship, in Truth, Except Allaah’
By Hafidh al-Hakami –Rahimahullaah-
Taken from his book ‘Ma’arij al-Qabool’
Translated by Abbas Abu Yahya
The words in the testification ‘La ilaha ‘illa Allah’
are words which are the path to the success of entry into Paradise and
salvation from the fire.
Allaah- Azza wa jal- said: { And whoever is removed
away from the Fire and admitted to Paradise, he indeed is successful.}
(Al-Imraan: 185)
It is the way and path to happiness in the two worlds which
cannot be reached except by these words. It is with this statement that Allaah
sent His Messengers and with it, He revealed His Books. The Dunya and
the Hereafter, Paradise and Hell-Fire were created for this statement.
Happiness and wretchedness are directly related to this
testification. Due to it, the records of deeds will be taken either to the
right or the left and the scale will be either heavy or light. By it is
being saved from the Fire after its advent whilst not adhering to ‘La ilaha ‘illa
Allaah’ is remaining in the Fire.
Due to it, Allaah took the covenant, because of it is
recompense and accountability and regarding it, will be the questioning on the
Day of Meeting.
As Allah –Ta’ala- says: { So, by your Lord, We shall
certainly call all of them to account. For all that they used to do. } (Al-Hijr:
92-93)
Allah –Ta’ala- said: { Then surely, We shall question
those (people) to whom it (the Book) was sent and verily, We shall question the
Messengers.} (A’raaf: 6)
As for Allaah – Ta’ala- questioning those to whom ‘La
ilaha ‘illa Allaah’ was sent, on the Day of Judgement , then from that is
His saying- { And (remember) the Day (Allaah) will call to them and say: ‘What
answer gave you to the Messengers?} (Qasas: 65) along with the preceding,
following and other Aayaat.
As for Allah questioning the Messengers then from that is the
saying of Allah – Ta’ala- { On the Day when Allah will gather the
Messengers together and say to them: ‘What was the response you received (from
men to your teaching)? They will say: ‘We have no knowledge, verily, only You
are the All-Knower of all that is hidden (or unseen, etc.} (al-Mai’dah: 109) and there are other similar Aayaat.
