The Kalimahs in Islam are very important in Islam. These Kalimahs are found in various books of knowledge. These Kalimahs present the very fundamentals of the belief of a Muslim. The children or new reverts in Islam are taught these Kalimahs. A muslim person knows and understands the
essence of these Kalimahs, accepts them with complete sincerity and love and
leads his/her life according to the requirements.
Below I will provide the Arabic text, the
pronunciation in roman english, and the meaning.
First Kalimah: Kalimah-e-Tayyab (کلمہ طیّب
) [Meaning: The Word of Purity]
Laa Ilaaha Illa-llaahu Muhammadur-Rasool-Ullaah
There is no God but Allah, Muhammad is
the Messenger of Allah.
Second Kalimah: Kalimah-e-Shahadah (کلمہ شہادت ) [Meaning: The
Word of Testimony]
Ash-hadu an-La illaha ill Allahu, Wahdahu La Sharika
lah, wa ash-Hadu anna Muhammadan 'abduhu wa Rasooluhu
I bear witness that there is none
worthy of worship except Allah, the One alone, without partner, and I bear
witness that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger.
Third Kalimah: Kalimah-e-Tamjeed (کلمہ تمجید ) [Meaning: The
Word of Glorification]
Subhan
Allahi, wal Hamdu lillahi, wa la ilaha ilAllahu, wallahu Akbar. wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah-il 'alii-al
'adheem
Glory be to Allah and Praise to Allah, and there is no God But Allah, and Allah is the Greatest. And there is no Might or Power except with Allah.
Fourth Kalimah: Kalimah-e-Tauheed (کلمہ توحید ) [Meaning: The
Word of Unity]

Abada. Dhu-l Jalaali Wal Ikraam. Biyadihil Khair. Wahuwa Alaa Kulli Shai-’in
Qadeer.
There is none worthy of worship except Allah. He is
alone and has no partner. To Him belongs the Kingdom and for Him is all praise.
He gives life and causes death. In His hand is all good and He has power over
everything.
Fifth Kalimah: Kalimah-e-Astaghfar (کلمہ استغفار ) [Meaning: The
Word of Penitence]
Astaghfirullah
Rabbi Min Kulli Zambin Aznabtuho Amadan Ao Khat An Sirran Ao Alaniyatan Wa
Atoobo ilaihe Minaz Zambil Lazee Aalamo Wa Minaz Zambil Lazee La Aalamo innaka
Anta Allamul Ghuyoobi Wa Sattaarul Oyoobi Wa Ghaffaruz Zunoobi Wala Haola Wala
Quwwata illa billahil AliYil Azeem.
I seek forgiveness from Allah, who is my Creator and
Cheriser, from every sin I committed knowingly or unknowingly, secretly or
openly. I also seek His forgiveness for all sins which I am aware of or am not
aware of. Certainly You (O Allah!), are the Knower of the hidden and the
Concealer of mistakes and the Forgiver of sins. And there is no power and no
strength except from Allah, the Most High, the Most Great.
Sixth Kalimah: Kalimah-e-Rud-e-Kuffr (کلمہ رد کفر ) [Meaning: The
Word of Rejecting Disbelief]
Allah
Humma inni Aaoozubika Min An Oshrika Beka Shai Aown Wa Anaa Aalamo Behi Wa
Astaghfiroka Lima laa Aalamo Behi Tubtu Anho Wa Tabarra'to Minal Kufri
Washshirki Wal Kizbi Wal Gheebati Wal Bid-ati Wan Nameemati Wal Fawahishi Wal
Bohtani Wal Ma'asi Kulliha Wa Aslamtoo Wa Aqoolo Laa ilaaha illal
Lahoo Mohammadur Rasool Ullah.
O Allah! Certainly I seek protection with You from,
that I associate partner with You anything and I know it. And I seek
forgiveness from You for that I do not know it. I repended from it and I made
myself free from disbelief and polytheism and the falsehood and the back-biting
and the innovation and the tell-tales and the bad deeds and the blame and the
disobedience, all of them. And I submit and I say (there is) none worthy of
worship except Allah, Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.
