Sixth Kalima (Chhatha Kalma Radde Kufr) with Translation


6th Kalma Arabic

اللّٰهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ أَنْ أُشْرِكَ بِكَ شَيْئًا وَأَنَا أَعْلَمُ بِهِ، وَأَسْتَغْفِرُكَ لِمَا لَا أَعْلَمُ بِهِ، تُبْتُ عَنْهُ وَتَبَرَّأْتُ مِنَ الْكُفْرِ وَالشِّرْكِ وَالْكِذْبِ وَالْغِيبَةِ وَالْبِدْعَةِ وَالنَّمِيمَةِ وَالْفَوَاحِشِ وَالْبُهْتَانِ وَالْمَعَاصِي كُلِّهَا، وَأَسْلَمْتُ وَأَقُولُ لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللّٰهُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللّٰهِ.

Allāhumma innī a‘ūdhu bika min an ushrika bika shay’an wa anā a‘lamu bihī, wa astaghfiruka limā lā a‘lamu bihī, tubtu ‘anhu wa tabarra’tu minal-kufri wash-shirki wal-kidhbi wal-ghībati wal-bid‘ati wan-namīmati wal-fawāḥishi wal-buhtāni wal-ma‘āṣī kullihā, wa aslamtu wa aqūlu lā ilāha illallāhu Muḥammadur rasūlullāh.


Chhatha Kalima Urdu Translation

اے اللّٰہ! میں تیری پناہ مانگتا ہوں اس بات سے کہ جانتے ہوئے کسی چیز کو تیرا شریک ٹھہراؤں۔

اور میں تجھ سے اس کی معافی مانگتا ہوں جس کا مجھے علم نہیں۔

میں نے اس سے توبہ کی اور کفر، شرک، جھوٹ، غیبت، بدعت، چغلی، بے حیائی، بہتان اور تمام گناہوں سے بیزاری اختیار کی۔

اور میں نے تیرے آگے سرِ تسلیم خم کیا، اور میں کہتا ہوں کہ اللّٰہ کے سوا کوئی عبادت کے لائق نہیں، حضرت محمد ﷺ اللّٰہ کے رسول ہیں۔


Sixth Kalma English Translation

O Allah! I seek refuge in You from knowingly associating anything with You.

And I seek Your forgiveness for what I do not know.

I repent of it and renounce disbelief, associating partners with You, lying, backbiting, religious innovation, carrying tales, indecency, slander, and all sins.

I submit to You and declare: There is no one worthy of worship except Allah, and Muhammad ﷺ is the Messenger of Allah.


Explanation of the Sixth Kalima

The Sixth Kalima is known as Kalima Radde Kufr, meaning the declaration of rejecting disbelief. It brings together a request for protection from shirk, repentance from wrongdoing, and a renewed declaration of faith. Its words remind a Muslim to protect their beliefs, keep worship sincere, and avoid actions that displease Allah.


The opening words “Allāhumma innī a‘ūdhu bika” mean that we seek Allah’s protection. A believer recognises that knowledge and personal effort alone are not enough: we also need Allah’s guidance and help to remain firm upon faith. This prayer expresses humility and dependence upon Him.


The phrase “Min an ushrika bika shay’an wa anā a‘lamu bihī” asks for protection from knowingly associating anything with Allah. Shirk means giving another a share in what belongs to Allah alone, including His right to worship. These words remind us to direct our worship to Allah and guard against beliefs or practices that contradict Tawheed.


The words “Wa astaghfiruka limā lā a‘lamu bihī” ask forgiveness for what we do not know. A person may overlook a fault or fail to recognise an improper intention. Instead of assuming that our faith and conduct are free from every weakness, we ask Allah to forgive our unseen shortcomings and guide us towards what is right.


The declaration “Tubtu ‘anhu wa tabarra’tu” expresses repentance and rejection of wrongdoing. Repentance should involve leaving the sin, regretting it, and sincerely resolving not to return to it. When our actions have violated another person’s rights, we must also take appropriate steps to restore those rights.


The Kalima then names several sins, including lying, backbiting, carrying tales, and slander. These words draw attention to the harm caused by careless or dishonest speech. A Muslim should tell the truth, protect other people’s dignity, and avoid spreading stories that create hatred or conflict.


The mention of bid‘ah warns against introducing beliefs or practices into religion without a sound religious basis. The mention of indecency and all sins broadens the prayer beyond speech to our behaviour as a whole. Naming these sins together does not mean that every sin is disbelief or that a Muslim becomes a disbeliever simply by committing one of them.


Finally, “Wa aslamtu wa aqūlu lā ilāha illallāhu Muḥammadur rasūlullāh” renews our submission to Allah and our declaration of faith. After rejecting wrongdoing, we affirm the foundation upon which a Muslim’s life rests: worshipping Allah alone and following His Messenger ﷺ.


Is the Sixth Kalima Found in Hadith?

The Sixth Kalima is not found in one single hadith in its complete, commonly taught wording. However, its words were gathered from supplications recorded in different ahadith.


Scholars explain that the familiar names and arrangement of the Kalimas helped ordinary Muslims learn correct beliefs and memorise these expressions more easily.


For the Sixth Kalima, their explanation cites narrations about seeking protection from knowingly committing shirk, asking forgiveness for what one does not know, and seeking refuge from disbelief and other forms of wrongdoing.


The Sixth Kalima should therefore be understood as a scholarly compilation drawn from hadith supplications, rather than one complete supplication narrated word for word from Rasulullah ﷺ. Any specific reward or prescribed repetition count requires evidence relating to the particular wording concerned.


Virtues of the Sixth Kalima

The Sixth Kalima brings together important acts of faith: seeking Allah’s protection, asking forgiveness, rejecting wrongdoing, and affirming Tawheed. Its meaning encourages a Muslim to remain attentive to both belief and behaviour.

One of its central themes is protection from shirk, including wrongdoing that a person may fail to recognise.


Scholars cite a narration in Al-Adab Al-Mufrad in which Rasulullah ﷺ teaches a supplication seeking refuge from knowingly associating partners with Allah and asking forgiveness for what one does not know. This is the central request expressed at the beginning of the Sixth Kalima.


Its words of repentance also connect with the wider prophetic teaching of returning to Allah regularly. In Sahih Muslim 2702b, Rasulullah ﷺ encouraged people to repent and mentioned that he turned to Allah in repentance one hundred times a day. This virtue concerns repentance generally, rather than a prescribed count for reciting the complete Sixth Kalima.


The declaration of faith at its conclusion expresses the testimony discussed in Sahih al-Bukhari 128. In that narration, Rasulullah ﷺ gives glad tidings concerning the person who sincerely testifies from the heart that none deserves worship except Allah and that Muhammad ﷺ is His Messenger. The emphasis is on sincere belief, which should guide a person towards obedience.


Reflecting on the sins named in this Kalima can also encourage a practical examination of our conduct. Have we spoken truthfully? Have we repeated gossip? Have we harmed someone’s reputation? Reciting with understanding should move us to correct these actions and seek forgiveness from Allah.


The Sixth Kalima is a reminder to protect our faith and take responsibility for our behaviour. Its words encourage us to worship sincerely, speak carefully, repent honestly, and seek Allah’s help in living according to the faith we profess.
