The Seven Kalimahs

First Kalimah - Kalimah Taiyyab (Declaration of Faith)

Laa ilaaha illa-llahoo Muhammadur-Rasool-ullah

"There is no diety except Allah. Muhammad (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) is the Messenger of Allah."

Second Kalimah - Kalimah Shahaadah (Declaration of Submission and Evidence)

Ash-hadu anlaa-ilaaha illa-llaahu, wa ash hadu anna Muhammadan abduhu wa Rasulu

"I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) is His Devotee and His Messenger."

Third Kalimah - Kalimah Tamjeed (Declaration of Allah's Glory)

Subhaan-Allahi walhamdu-lillaahi, wa laa ilaa-ha illa-la ill-lal-lahu wallahu Akbar, walaa haula wala quoow-wata illa billa hil-Aliyyil-azeem.

"Glory is for Allah and all Praise is due to Allah. There is none worthy of worship except Allah. Allah is the greatest. There is no power and no strength except with Allah the Most High, the Great."

Fourth Kalimah - Kalimah Tauheed (Declaration of the Oneness of Allah)

Laa ilaaha il-lal-lahu wahdahu laa shareeka lahu, lahul-mulkoo wa-lahul hamdu yooh-yi wa-yumeetu, be yadihil khairu wa huwa alaa kulli shay in Qadeer.

"There is none worthy of worship except Allah, who 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 hands is all good and He has Power over everything."

Fifth Kalimah - Kalimah radd-i-Kufr (Rejection of Atheism)

Allahumma inni a uzu bika min an ushrika bika shayan wa ana a'lamu bihi, wa astagh feeru ka limaa laa a'lamu bihi, toob-tu anhu wa tabarr-ra' tu minal kufri wash-shirki wal kizbi wal-ma 'aasi kullihaa aslamtu wa aamantu wa a-quoo-lu laa-ilaa-hah il-lal-lahu Muhammadur Rasool-lool-lah

"O Allah! I seek protection in You, that I do not join any partner with You knowingly. I need Your forgiveness from that which I do not know. I repent from its ignorance. I free myself from disbelief and from joining partners with You and from lies and from all sins. I submit to your will, and I believe and declare; There is none worthy of worship except Allah and Muhammad (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) is the Messenger of Allah."

Sixth Kalimah - Imaan-i-Mujmal (Concise Belief)

Aamantu bil-lahi kama huwa bi asmaaihi wa sifaa-tihi, wa qabiltu jamee-a ah-kaamihi

"I believe in Allah as He is, with His names and qualities, and I have accepted all His orders."

Seventh Kalimah - Imaan-i-Mufassal (Detailed Belief)

Aamantu bil-laahi wa malaa-ikatihi wa kutubihi wa Rusulihi wal yaumil-aakhee-ree wal qadri khairihi wa shar-rihi minal-lahi Ta Aala wal-ba'Athi ba'adal maut

"I believe in Allah, in His Angels, His Scriptures, His Messengers, the Last Day, and that everything good and bad in the world is predestined by the Almighty Allah, and I believe in Resurrection after Death."
