Re: 6 Kalima??
The 6 (six) Kalimas are recorded in various books of knowledge, and are recited (and remembered) by people across the globe.
These kalimas were compiled together for children to memorise and learn the basic fundamentals of a Muslim's beliefs. They are not found altogether complete in any one hadith or narration from the Prophet (peace be upon him). However, some of them can be found individually in the narrations.

Assalamu alaykum
Actually, these kalimas were compiled together for children to memorize and learn the basic fundamentals of a Muslim's beliefs. They are not found altogether in any one hadith or narration from the Prophet (peace be upon him). However, some of them can be found individually in the narrations. To see the virtues of some of these kalimas one can read the Chapter of Dhikr in the Fada'il A'mal of Shaykh Zakariya Khandelwi.
Children are told that memorizing these kalimas will come in use in the grave. This is to encourage them to learn them quickly. Yes, if someone is to act on the dictates of these kalimas after memorizing them, then surely they will come in use in the grave.
And Allah knows best.

Re: 6 Kalima??
^ so we shud stop telling false things to children....
when Allah and His Prophet (saw) did not tell about any such thing (6 kalimas) and that they will be asked about inthe grave, then who r we to tell this to our children????
plus when the prophet (saw) and his sahaaba (ra) did not memorize (and perhaps never knew) these words, why shud we bother about them????

what about shahadah? when one converts to Islam one recites this oath....
other question...
shahadah and kalima are 2 different things or are they one in the same?
i hear ppl saying different things about it.
Re: 6 Kalima??
shahadah is the only kalima.
And the other kalimas can be taught, they dont' seem like bidah to me, just some arabic words, from the quran.
Re: 6 Kalima??
don't forget the kalima about the malaik. i hadn't heard about that one before, until this 5 year old girl in summer school wanted me to ask her that, and i still don't get how it is considered a kalima.
Re: 6 Kalima??
that is the problem brother, neither r these words from Quran, nor hadith…
Re: 6 Kalima??
^ welll i'll stick to the one kalimah that i know is true, the shahadah.
I don't even know the rest of the "kalimas" lol..
i just thought those words were arabic phrases of defining tauheed and stuff.
