Why Learn the 6 Kalma in Arabic?
Learning the 6 kalma in Arabic, and not only their translation, lets a child recite the same words used in salah, adhkar and duas across the Muslim world. The kalmas cover the core beliefs of Islam in a few lines: the oneness of Allah, the prophethood of Muhammad ﷺ, praising Allah, seeking forgiveness and rejecting shirk.
Where Do the 6 Kalma Come From?
The six kalmas are not listed together as a set in the Quran or Hadith. They were gathered by scholars in South Asia as an easy way to teach the basics of faith. The words of the first four come from the Quran and authentic hadith, while the full wording of the 5th and 6th is compiled from several duas. Each kalma page linked above explains its own sources.
