What is the Kalima?

Kalima refers to statements of belief in Islam. The Six Kalimas is a concise summary of key Islamic teachings, with each Kalima addressing different aspects of faith. The second Kalima, Shahada, is the declaration of belief in Tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and the prophethood of Muhammad (PBUH).

Importance of the Second Kalima

Importance of the Second Kalima

Belief in the Oneness of Allah (Tawhid): It highlights the oneness of Allah, declaring that only He deserves worship.

Belief in Prophethood: It confirms that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is Allah’s final messenger, completing the line of prophets.

Forgiveness of Sins: Allah forgives all sins except shirk (worshiping others besides Him).

Recognition of Allah’s Power: Reciting the Kalima affirms that Allah is the supreme power, with no equal or partner.

Foundation of Faith: Believing in Allah’s oneness (Tauheed) is the core of Islam; without it, faith is incomplete.

Rejection of False Beliefs: The Kalima rejects:

Shirk (worshiping others alongside Allah).

Shak (doubts about the religion).

Tashbeeh (comparing Allah to imaginary beings).

Taalil (denying Allah as the Creator of everything).

Quran Reference

“Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah; and those with him are forceful against the disbelievers, merciful among themselves…”

(Surah Al-Fath, 48:29)

(Sunan an-Nasa’i 148)

2. Uthman narrated:

“He who dies knowing that there is no god but Allah will enter Paradise.”
