309. Fifth And Sixth Kalimas Not Found In The Sunnah

By Asma bint Shameem

1. It’s good to memorize as many duaas as one can especially the ones from the Qur’aan. And there’s nothing wrong with that. 

You can make duaa using those words in your Salaah or outside of Salaah. The matter is wide open. 

2. The concept of memorizing and reciting the “six kalimas” or phrases is ONLY popular among the people of Indo-Pak subcontinent.

These phrases are basically a declaration of our faith and imaan plus some adhkaar. 

We don’t HAVE to memorize them as long as we understand the meanings and the implications behind them. 

And we don’t need to ‘recite’ them everyday. 

And there’s no evidence to “limit” ourselves to only “six”’kalimas when there are literally hundreds of authentic adhkaar that we can memorize and recite. 

Besides, out of the ‘six’ kalimas are two that are words NOT found the Sunnah. (fifth and sixth “kalima”)

So why learn something that’s not from the Sunnah when there are PLENTY of authentic ahaadeeth from the Prophet sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam that teach us the same thing?
