كَلَّا
A word in the Arabic language will either be 1) a verb or 2) a noun or 3) a particle – كَلَّا is a particle
كَلَّا is used primarily for warning (تَنْبِيْهِ) to express strong disapproval and dislike for something most objectionable and disliked
By no means, not at all
This particle signifies rejection, rebuke and reprimanding a person for what he has said being untrue
It also denotes that what has been said before is wrong and what follows after it, is right
It is also used to reject the request of a person and to reprimand him for making it, therefore it is called by grammarians as a particle of reprimand or repulsion
