As-Salaam alaikum,
The pleasant formula of 'LA ILAHA ILLALAHU' has been sent/created to stop the worship of all false gods, be they beyond the horizon, that is, outside the body in the cosmos, or inside the soul (anfaqi, anfusi). This is very beneficial in cleansing the nafs and purifying it (tazkiya, tatahhur).
Our 'Ulama have chosen this very pleasant formula (Kalimat Tayyab) to cleanse the nafs.
Until you sweep the street by the broom of ''La''
You will not arrive at the inn of ''illallah''.
Whenever nafs is rebellious and breaks a covenant, one's faith should be renewed via this KALIMA. This is why the Prophet, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam, said:-
''Renew your faith by the formula 'La ilaha illallah (Jaddidu Imanakum bi-qawli La-ilaha illallah)''-- hadith Ahamad ibn Hanbal.
