Re: The 5 kalimas
bhai meray, bahrain existed n the times of the Prophet (saw) and he even wrote a letter to the king of bahrain to accept Islam, who accepted it and the whole country become muslim during time of the Prophet (saw), and Hazrat Alaa al-hadhrami (ra) was sent by Muhammad (saw) to teach them Islam…
i answered this only to broaden ur general knowledge…
otherwise, with the level of understanding u showed in this post really did not deserve a reply…
Re: The 5 kalimas
Ok I read the good innovation and the bad innovation.
But then my point is that why armughal is calling them a bad shirk to learn the 5 kalimas 
Re: The 5 kalimas
been there, done that. it has been refuted by many ulema!
Re: The 5 kalimas
bahrain was changed to the “kingdom of bahrain” just a couple of years back under the rule of the current rule, King Hamad, and before this it was not a kingdom but a STATE as it was called, with the ruler aclled an Ameer…
Re: The 5 kalimas
What is such a bad bid’dah in knowing the 5 kalimas or doing naat for the prophet? 
Didn’t know there was kingdom of bahrain but still the current royal family is british installed.
Re: The 5 kalimas
brother read all the post. not just abit off it. its abt 5 pages. read it all to understand and who knows you might change yr opinion. many people who were against it did.
Re: The 5 kalimas
again wrong, al-khalifa family, the curretn ruling family, came from Zubarah, upon the request of the locals to fight against the portugese…
ahmed al-fatih, came to help these ppl and fought the portugese out and was appointed ruler of bahrain by its people as a token of gratitude…
that was waaaay before british even came here…
where do u ppl take history classes???
Re: The 5 kalimas
Another interesting historical note, though completely off topic.
The al-khalifa family was a Sunni family following the Shafi’i School and came from Najad, which was being conquered by todays salafis. They did not accept so migrated to Zubarah.
Re: The 5 kalimas
Did you mean to say that 6 kalmas have no significance in Islam?
Thing is that we have been told to memorize 6 of them since our childhood because our parents and teachers tell us that we will be asked to recite them in our graves. Where do 6 kalmas come from anyway?
Re: The 5 kalimas
destinee i have not heard of any hadith which states that we will be asked to recite them in our grave.
as far the grave is concerened then insh'Allah this hadith should make it clear. remember one thing islaam is based on textual evidence and not on what you hear from people. always verify with the Qur'aan and sunnah and see if it has been mentioned otherwise avoid it.
It was narrated that al-Bara’ (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: We went out with the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) for the funeral of a man from among the Ansaar. We came to the grave and when (the deceased) was placed in the lahd, the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) sat down and we sat around him, as if there were birds on our heads (i.e., quiet and still). In his hand he had a stick with which he was scratching the ground. Then he raised his head and said, “Seek refuge with Allaah from the torment of the grave”, two or three times. Then he said, “When the believing slave is about to depart this world and enter the Hereafter, there come down to him from heaven angels with white faces like the sun, and they sit around him as far as the eye can see. They bring with them shrouds from Paradise and perfumes from Paradise. Then the Angel of Death comes and sits by his head, and he says, ‘O good soul, come forth to forgiveness from Allaah and His pleasure.’ Then it comes out easily like a drop of water from the the mouth of a waterskin. When he seizes it, they do not leave it in his hand for an instant before they take it and put it in that shroud with that perfume, and there comes from it a fragrance like the finest musk on the face of the earth. Then they ascend and they do not pass by any group of angels but they say, ‘Who is this good soul?’ and they say, ‘It is So and so the son of So and so, calling him by the best names by which he was known in this world, until they reach the lowest heaven. They ask for it to be opened to them and it is opened, and (the soul) is welcomed and accompanied to the next heaven by those who are closest to Allaah, until they reach the seventh heaven. Then Allaah says: ‘Record the book of My slave in ‘Illiyoon in the seventh heaven, and return him to the earth, for from it I created them, to it I will return them and from it I will bring them forth once again.’ So his soul is returned to his body and there come to him two angels who make him sit up and they say to him, ‘Who is your Lord?’ He says, ‘Allaah.’ They say, ‘What is your religion?’ He says, ‘My religion is Islam.’ They say, ‘Who is this man who was sent among you?’ He says, ‘He is the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).’ They say, ‘What did you do?’ He says, ‘I read the Book of Allaah and I believed in it.’ Then a voice calls out from heaven, ‘My slave has spoken the truth, so prepare for him a bed from Paradise and clothe him from Paradise, and open for him a gate to Paradise.’ Then there comes to him some of its fragrance, and his grave is made wide, as far as he can see. Then there comes to him a man with a handsome face and handsome clothes, and a good fragrance, who says, ‘Receive the glad tidings that will bring you joy this day.’ He says, ‘Who are you? Your face is a face which brings glad tidings.’ He says, ‘I am your righteous deeds.’ He says, ‘O Lord, hasten the Hour so that I may return to my family and my wealth.’ But when the disbelieving slave is about to depart this world and enter the Hereafter, there come down to him from heaven angels with black faces, bringing sackcloth, and they sit around him as far as the eye can see. Then the Angel of Death comes and sits by his head, and he says, ‘O evil soul, come forth to the wrath of Allaah and His anger.’ Then his soul disperses inside his body, then comes out cutting the veins and nerves, like a skewer passing through wet wool. When he seizes it, they do not leave it in his hand for an instant before they take it and put it in that sackcloth, and there comes from it a stench like the foulest stench of a dead body on the face of the earth. Then they ascend and they do not pass by any group of angels but they say, ‘Who is this evil soul?’ and they say, ‘It is So and so the son of So and so, calling him by the worst names by which he was known in this world, until they reach the lowest heaven. They ask for it to be opened to them and it is not opened.” Then the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) recited (interpretation of the meaning):
“for them the gates of heaven will not be opened, and they will not enter Paradise until the camel goes through the eye of the needle”
[al-A’raaf 7:40]
He said: “Then Allaah says, ‘Record the book of My slave in Sijjeen in the lowest earth, and return him to the earth, for from it I created them, to it I will return them and from it I will bring them forth once again.’ So his soul is cast down.” Then the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) recited the verse (interpretation of the meaning):
“and whoever assigns partners to Allaah, it is as if he had fallen from the sky, and the birds had snatched him, or the wind had thrown him to a far off place”
[al-Hajj 22:31]
He said: “Then his soul is returned to his body, and there come to him two angels who make him sit up and they say to him, ‘Who is your Lord?’ He says, ‘Oh, oh, I don’t know.’ They say, ‘What is your religion?’ He says, ‘Oh, oh, I don’t know.’ Then a voice calls out from heaven, ‘Prepare for him a bed from Hell and clothe him from Hell, and open for him a gate to Hell.’ Then there comes to him some of its heat and hot winds, and his grave is constricted and compresses him until his ribs interlock. Then there comes to him a man with an ugly face and ugly clothes, and a foul stench, who says, ‘Receive the bad news, this is the day that you were promised.’ He says, ‘Who are you? Your face is a face which forebodes evil.’ He says, ‘I am your evil deeds.’ He says, ‘O Lord, do not let the Hour come, do not let the Hour come.’”
Narrated by Abu Dawood, 4753; Ahmad, 18063 – this version was narrated by him. Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami’, 1676.
The correct view is that the two angels will only question the deceased in his grave about matters of Tawheed (monotheism) and ‘aqeedah (belief). This is quite clear.
Re: The 5 kalimas
I dont see the issue on the kalimas, i think it's a great easy way to remember simple quranic duas/ayahs that we should say all the time. What more should it be.
Anyhow I want to re-memorize them and was looking for mp3 versions, helps to listen to them on the subway. I couldn't find any version online, anyone know?
Re: The 5 kalimas
it’s called “The Reading”.. not Kitaab.. The Book is the whole of which Qur’an is a part.. but u already know that..
Re: The 5 kalimas
Cop-out. Point is, you can’t live anywhere without being a citizen of some state…
Re: The 5 kalimas
They sum up Islamic theology nicely, and so from a pedagogical point of view, they’re quite valuable.
