Learn Islamic Duas & 6 Kalmay
In Arabic, "Kalma" means "word," and in Islamic context, it often refers to the Shahada, the foundational declaration of faith in Islam. The Shahada — ??? ?????? ?????? ??? ????????? ????????? ??? — translates to: “There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.” This powerful statement affirms the core belief of Islam: the oneness of Allah and the finality of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) as His messenger.
Islam teaches six primary declarations of faith known as the Six Kalmas — the First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Kalma. Each of these carries deep spiritual meaning and significance. Reciting and understanding these Kalmas is vital for Muslims, as they represent the foundation of Islamic belief and demonstrate one's commitment to the faith.
The Shahada, being the first Kalma, holds a central place in Islamic doctrine and serves as a unifying testimony for Muslims across the world. These Six Kalmas are not only recited during important occasions and daily prayers but also serve as constant reminders of key Islamic principles. Rooted in authentic Hadiths and the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), they are widely memorized and recited by Muslims globally.
At Muhammadan Quran School, we emphasize the importance of learning these Kalmas from an early age. Parents are encouraged to help their children memorize and understand these essential phrases as a first step in their spiritual journey.
