Question #21: 

٢١) ما أعلى شُعَبِ الايمان؟

     أعْلاَها قَوْلُ: لا اِله إلاَّ الله                            

A) The Highest level of Eemaan is the statement  لا اِله إلاَّ الله.        

                 

This statement لا اِله إلاَّ الله is called ‘Kalimatut-Tawheed’ (statement of Tawheed). The daleel is the hadeeth that comes in the Hadeeth of Abi Huraira رضي اللّه عنـه recorded in Bukhari and Muslim. 

It is also the greatest of things that is obligatory upon us, i.e. to know Kalimatut-Tawheed. It is the last obligation upon us to know and because of this the Prophet صلّى اللَّهُ عليه وسلّم said:

“Advise the dying person to say   لا اِله إلاَّ الله (there is none worthy of worship in truth except Allaah). It is narrated on the authority of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri رضي اللّه عنـه that the Prophet صلّى اللَّهُ عليه وسلّم said: "Prompt your dying people to say: لا اِله إلاَّ الله."

(Muslim)
