Quick fact: The first Kalima in Islam is Kalima Tayeeba (also known as Kalima Tayyibah), which is "La ilaha illallah Muhammadur Rasulullah."

Explanation

There are six Kalimas in Islam, and the first one is Kalima Tayeeba (the Pure Word). It declares the fundamental Islamic creed: "There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad (PBUH) is the Messenger of Allah." This Kalima forms the foundation of Islamic faith, as it combines both Tauheed (Oneness of Allah) and Risalat (Prophethood). The remaining five Kalimas are Kalima Shahadat, Kalima Tamjeed, Kalima Tauheed, Kalima Istighfar, and Kalima Radd-e-Kufr.

Good to know

The six Kalimas are fundamental declarations of faith taught to Muslim children and new converts. Kalima Tayeeba is the first and most essential, as reciting it with sincere belief is the requirement for entering Islam. The word "Tayeeba" means pure or good, signifying the purity of this declaration. These Kalimas are widely memorized in the Muslim world, particularly in South Asia, where they form part of basic Islamic education.
