Illa (Arabic)
Script error: No such module "Unsubst". The Arabic word illa is a negative word corresponding to the English except, only and but.[1]
Use
It is an often recurring phrase in the Qur'an, often used to give strength to statements by first negating all possibilities, and then referring to a subject. For example, in the Islamic Creed (Template:Langx):
- Arabic text:
- Script error: No such module "Lang".
- Script error: No such module "lang".
- English translations:
- I testify that there is no god but God.[2]
This can also be seen in the prayer La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah, There is neither change nor power except by means of God.
