Chhata Kalma Meaning

English: O Allah, I seek refuge in You from knowingly associating anything with You, and I seek Your forgiveness for what I do not know. I repent from it. I free myself from disbelief, polytheism, lying, backbiting, innovation, tale-carrying, indecency, slander and all sins. I have submitted, and I say: there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah; Muhammad ﷺ is the Messenger of Allah.

Urdu tarjuma:

اے اللہ! میں تیری پناہ مانگتا ہوں اس بات سے کہ میں جان بوجھ کر کسی چیز کو تیرا شریک بناؤں، اور تجھ سے معافی مانگتا ہوں اس (گناہ) کی جسے میں نہیں جانتا۔ میں نے اس سے توبہ کی اور میں بیزار ہوا کفر سے، شرک سے، جھوٹ سے، غیبت سے، بدعت سے، چغلی سے، بے حیائی کے کاموں سے، بہتان سے اور تمام گناہوں سے۔ اور میں اسلام لایا اور کہتا ہوں کہ اللہ کے سوا کوئی معبود نہیں، محمد ﷺ اللہ کے رسول ہیں۔
