Four Kalimas of Islam in arabic,translation,meaning

The Four Kalimas of Islam are central declarations of faith that express core beliefs in Islam. Here’s a detailed explanation of each in Arabic, English translation, and meaning:

1. Kalima Tayyibah (The Pure Kalima)

Arabic:
لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ

Translation:
“There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.”

Meaning:
This is the essence of Islamic belief, affirming monotheism (Tawheed) and the Prophethood of Muhammad (peace be upon him).

2. Kalima Shahadah (The Declaration of Faith)

Arabic:
أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ

Translation:
“I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger.”

Meaning:
This is a formal testimony of faith, emphasizing both belief in Allah’s oneness and Muhammad’s role as His servant and final Messenger.

3. Kalima Tamjeed (The Declaration of Glory)

Arabic:
سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ

Translation:
“Glory be to Allah, and all praise is for Allah, and there is no god but Allah, and Allah is the Greatest. There is no power and no strength except with Allah.”

Meaning:
This kalima glorifies Allah, acknowledging His greatness, praise, and absolute authority over everything.

4. Kalima Tawheed (The Declaration of Oneness)

Arabic:
لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ يُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُ وَهُوَ حَيٌّ لَا يَمُوتُ أَبَدًا أَبَدًا ذُو الْجَلَالِ وَالْإِكْرَامِ بِيَدِهِ الْخَيْرُ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

Translation:
“There is no god but Allah. He is alone, without partner. To Him belongs the kingdom, and to Him belongs all praise. He gives life and causes death, and He is ever-living and does not die. Possessor of majesty and honor. In His hand is all good, and He has power over all things.”

Meaning:
This kalima reiterates the uniqueness, majesty, and sovereignty of Allah, affirming His eternal nature and omnipotence.

These Kalimas serve as tools for remembrance (dhikr) and as summaries of the fundamental beliefs in Islam.
