Re: There is no god
The Kalimah starts with negation for emphasis and impact.
So in simple words it means that there is no other god but Allah (swt).
Similarly we can say that: No one is worthy of worship but Allah (swt).
We also use negation first in our everyday language for emphasis and impact.
Like:
I like nothing better now than a nice cup of tea.
Or a person may say to his/her beloved.
I love nobody but you.
