Six Kalmas
 |
The Six Kalimas are recorded in various books of knowledge, and are recited (and remembered) by muslims across the globe. These kalimas were compiled together for people to memorise and learn the basic fundamentals of Islam. They are not found altogether complete in any one hadith or narration from Muhammad (believed by muslims to be the final prophet). However, some of them can be found individually in the narrations.
Listed below are the 6 Kalimas.
