SIX KALiMAS IN ISLAM AND THEIR IMPORTANCE

What is known as the Six Kalimas has no origins in Islam as a separate entity.  They are called the KalimaIs in all the countries where Muslims live and practice Islam. The South Asian world is full of Muslims however so  it is a sign of faith to remeber these Kalimas by heart and understand the meanings of these Kalimas for bringing the blessings of God closer. They are useful for seeking protection of Allah and they save Muslims from false beliefs and back biting. Muslims learn the art of obedience by their recitations and free themselves of many sins.

Here are the six Kalmas in Islam which are a part of faith of evey single Muslim child and adult. People across the globe recite them in their daily lives to get rid of evil and children are also told to learn them in school. They are however not found in any Hadith of Prophet Muhammad, but the individual narrations are found for some of them.

1) Kalma Tayyab: Laa ilaaha illal Lahoo Mohammadur Rasool Ullah

2) Kalma Shaadat: Ashahado An Laa ilaaha illal Laho Wahdahoo Laa Shareeka Lahoo Wa Ash Hado Anna Mohammadan Abdo Hoo Wa Rasoolohoo.

3) Kalma Tamjeed: Subhanallahe Wal Hamdulillahe Wa Laa ilaha illal Laho Wallahooakbar. Wala Haola Wala Quwwata illa billahil AliYil Azeem.

4) Kalma Tauheed: Laa ilaha illal Lahoo Wahdahoo Laa Shareekalahoo Lahul Mulko Walahul Hamdo Yuhee Wa Yumeeto Wa Hoa Haiy Yul La Yamooto Abadan Abada Zul Jalali Wal ikraam Beyadihil Khair. Wa hoa Ala Kulli Shai In Qadeer.

5) Kalma Astaghfar: Astaghfirullah Rabbi Min Kullay Zambin Aznabtuho Amadan Ao Khat An Sirran Ao Alaniatan Wa Atoobo ilaihe Minaz Zambil Lazee Aalamo Wa Minaz Zambil Lazee La Aalamo innaka Anta Allamul Ghuyoobi Wa Sattaarul Oyobi Wa Ghaffaruz Zunoobi Wala Haola Wala Quwwata illa billahil AliYil Azeem.

6) Kalma Radde Kufr: Allah Humma inni Aaoozubika Min An Oshrika Beka Shai Aown Wa Anaa Aalamo Behi Wa Astaghfiroka Lima laa Aalamo Behi Tubtu Anho Wa Tabarrato Minal Kufri Washshirki Wal Kizbi Wal Jheebati Wal Bidaati Wan Nameemati Wal Fawahishi Wal Bohtani Wal Maasi Kulliha Wa Aslamtoo Wa Aamantoo Wa Aqoolo Laa ilaaha illal Lahoo Mohammadur Rasool Ullah.

The six statements however are very educational and helpful for a Muslim. The first two are in fact declaration of faith, as a Muslim, the next two are very popular words of remembrance (Azkar) and the last two are very nice supplications for God’s forgiveness. All or parts of these statements can be found in the Qur’an or the Hadith.

However, as I wrote above, we do not have any reliable textual evidences that put these six statements together and we do not have any references to the phrase ‘Six Kalima’ either.
