Fifth Kalimah English

Reference of Sixth Kalimah : This Kalimah found in the Hadith,

قال النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم والذي نفسي بيده للشرك أخفى من دبيب النمل ألا أدلك على شيء إذا قلته ذهب عنك قليله وكثيره قال قل اللهم إني أعوذ بك أن أشرك بك وأنا أعلم وأستغفرك لما لا أعلم

Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alahi Wa Sallam) said: “Shirk i is much more hidden than an ant crawling. Should I not teach you such a thing that if you recite it, you will be free from minor and major Shirk.” He said, say : “Allahumma innee a’oozu bika min an ushrika bika shayaw wa-ana a’alam wa-astaghfiruka limaa laa a’alam.”(“O Allah, I seek protection in You from that I ascribe partners to You knowingly and I seek forgiveness from You for those things which I do not know.”) (5)

Benefits of Kalima

Significance of Kalima

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ” إِذَا أُقْعِدَ المُؤْمِنُ فِي قَبْرِهِ أُتِيَ، ثُمَّ شَهِدَ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ، فَذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ: 

{يُثَبِّتُ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِالقَوْلِ الثَّابِتِ} [إبراهيم: 27] (بخاري، ١٣٦٩)

Translation: The Prophet (p.b.u.h) said, “When a faithful believer is made to sit in his grave, then (the angels) come to him and he testifies that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and Muhammad is Allah’s Apostle. And that corresponds to Allah’s statement: Allah will keep firm those who believe with the word that stands firm . . . (14.27). (Bukhari, 1369)

virtues of the fourth Kalima:

 عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: ” مَنْ قَالَ: لاَ إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ، وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ المُلْكُ وَلَهُ الحَمْدُ، وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ، فِي يَوْمٍ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ، كَانَتْ لَهُ عَدْلَ عَشْرِ رِقَابٍ، وَكُتِبَتْ لَهُ مِائَةُ حَسَنَةٍ، وَمُحِيَتْ عَنْهُ مِائَةُ سَيِّئَةٍ، وَكَانَتْ لَهُ حِرْزًا مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ يَوْمَهُ ذَلِكَ حَتَّى يُمْسِيَ، وَلَمْ يَأْتِ أَحَدٌ بِأَفْضَلَ مِمَّا جَاءَ بِهِ، إِلَّا أَحَدٌ عَمِلَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ 

Translation: It is reported from Abu Hurairah Radhiyallahu Anhu that Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam has said, “He who recites: “Laa ilaaha illallahu wahdahu laa shareeka lahu lahul mulku wa lahul hamdu wa huwa ‘ala kulli shay in qadeer,” 100 times in a day, will get the reward of freeing ten slaves, one-hundred good deeds will be written in his account, one-hundred bad deeds will be wiped off or erased from his account, on that day he will be protected from the morning till evening from Satan, and nobody will be superior to him except one who has done more than that which he has done.” [i]

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ “‏ مَنْ سَبَّحَ اللَّهَ فِي دُبُرِ كُلِّ صَلاَةٍ ثَلاَثًا وَثَلاَثِينَ وَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ ثَلاَثًا وَثَلاَثِينَ وَكَبَّرَ اللَّهَ ثَلاَثًا وَثَلاَثِينَ فَتِلْكَ تِسْعَةٌ وَتِسْعُونَ وَقَالَ تَمَامَ الْمِائَةِ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ غُفِرَتْ خَطَايَاهُ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ مِثْلَ زَبَدِ الْبَحْرِ”  

Translation: Abu Huraira Radhiyallahu Anhu reported Allah’s Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam as saying: If anyone extols Allah after every prayer thirty-three times, and praises Allah thirty-three times, and declares His Greatness thirty-three times, ninety-nine times in all, and says to complete a hundred: “Laa ilaaha illallahu wahdahu laa shareeka lahu lahul mulku wa lahul hamdu wa huwa ‘ala kulli shay in qadeer,” his sins will be forgiven even if these are as abundant as the foam of the sea. [ii]

عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ، قَالَ: ” مَنْ قَالَ: لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ، عَشْرَ مِرَارٍ كَانَ كَمَنْ أَعْتَقَ أَرْبَعَةَ أَنْفُسٍ مِنْ وَلَدِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ” 

Translation: He who uttered: “Laa ilaaha illallahu wahdahu laa shareeka lahu lahul mulku wa lahul hamdu wa huwa ‘ala kulli shay in qadeer” ten times, he is like one who freed four slaves from the progeny of Isma’il. [iii]
