Re: Additions to the Kalma Tayyaba
The ‘Kalma Tayyaba’ is based on two important beliefs (1) Touheed (2)** Risalat. Meaning of touheed is “make one” or "unique" and its originaly taken from “wahdat” Although in belief terms we take it meaning as “La Ilaha Illallah”** and its appeared 12 time in Qur’an. "La Ilaha Illa Ho" appeared 30 times in Qur’an and La Ilaha Illa Ana appeared 3 times. Moreover, “Ilahakum Ilaho Wahid” appeared 6 times.
The word ‘Touheed’ is not used in Qur’an perhaps "wahid" and "Uhad" are used many times. "Ilaha" repeated 125 times in Qur’an. Touheed (La Ilaha Illalah) means to testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah.
Meaning of the Risalat is “sending message” Risala mean Message and rasool mean Messenger (qasid). By testifying that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and Muhammad is Allah’s Messenger, non-believer enter (embrace) in the circule of Islam.
So here ‘Touheed’ is Almighty Allah SWT’s Message which delievered to us by Prophets :AS: and believing of Prophets :AS: message’s is like believing on the “Risalat” (Message) of Allah SWT! so Kalma Tayyaba or Shahadat is the basic belief. To understand more plz read hadiths below:
According to the various Hadiths in Sahih Bukhari:

When he said, “Ash-hadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullah” (I testify that Muhammad is Allah’s Apostle), Muawiya said, “And (so do) I”.

(All the compliments are for Allah and all the prayers and all the good things (are for Allah). Peace be on you, O Prophet, and Allah’s mercy and blessings (are on you). And peace be on us and on the good (pious) worshipers of Allah. I testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is His slave and Apostle.)
