Kalima Radde Kufr:
The literal meaning of the word “Radde Kufr” is to “Reject the disbelief or to step back from the infidelity”. After the First, Second, Third, Fourth, and the Fifth Kalima, the Sixth Kalma Radde Kufr is the last Kalima of Islam. In Kalma Radde Kufr, a believer seeks refuge from Allah. Also, he dislikes and rejects disbelief and infidelity. He commits and accepts the oneness of Allah, and turns apart from telling lies, backbitings, and other major & minor sins.
Sixth Kalima Radde Kufr In English Translation:
The Sixth Kalma Radde Kufr in Arabic states that:
اَللّهُمََّ اِنّىْ اَعُوْدُ بِكَ مِنْ انْ اُشْرِكَ بِكَ شَيئًا وََّ اَنَا اَعْلَمُ بِه وَ اسْتَغْفِرُكَ لِمَا لا اَعْلَمُ بِه تُبْتُ عَنْهُ وَ تَبَرَّاْتُ مِنَ الْكُفْرِ وَ الشّرْكِ وَ الْكِذْبِ وَ الْغِيْبَةِ وَ الْبِدْعَةِ وَ النَّمِيْمَةِ وَ الْفَوَاحِشِ وَ الْبُهْتَانِ وَ الْمَعَاصِىْ كُلِّهَا وَ اَسْلَمْتُ وَ اَقُوْلُ لآ اِلهَ اِلَّا اللّهُ مُحَمَّدُ رَّسُوْلُ اللّهِ
Kalma Radde Kufr can be translated in English as:
“O Allah I seek Your refuge from associating anything with you knowingly, and I seek forgiveness from You for (shirk) that I do not know. I have repented from it and I have detested disbelief, idolatry, tellingly, backbiting, bad innovations, tale-telling, indecency, accusations, and all the sins. I embrace Islam and say there is none worthy of worship but Allah, Muhammad is the Prophet of Allah.”
Listen to 6 Kalma Radde Kufr:
Types of Disbelief (Kufr):
The major types of Kufr from which every believer must restrain are:
- Kufr-Bil-Qawl (disbelief expressed verbally)
- Kufr-Bil-Fil (disbelief expressed through action)
- Kufr-Bil-Itiqad (disblief of convictions)
- Kufr-e-Akbar (major type of disbelief)
- Kufr-e-Asghar (minor type of disbelief)
Hence to avoid these all major and minor disbeliefs, a Muslim must attempt to recite Kalma Radde Kufr constantly as it protects us from sins and other wrong deeds.
Radde Kufr In The Light Of Hadiths:
Messenger of Allah, Muhammad (SAW) stated about Kufr that:
“Indeed, between a believer and idolatry and disbelief is abandoning the prayer.” Sahih Muslim 82
He (SAW) also highlighted Kufr as:
“Clashing with a believer is Kufr and defaming him is evildoing.”
Sunan An-Nasa’i 4113
Importance of 6th Kalima Radde Kufr:
The word “Kufr” means to conceal. In Kalima Radde Kufr, a disbeliever is targeted as he conceals the truth about Allah, His oneness & sovereignty. This Kalma teaches us the important concept of disbelief in Islam, which itself is a vast topic. It assists a Muslim to strongly believe in Allah as his God, and Islam as his religion. Moreover, the 6th Kalma commits a believer to step back from all sorts of major and minor sins such as backbiting, bad innovations, tale-tellings, etc.
Conclusion:
To sum up, to complete the doctrine of faith, and to secure his world and hereafter, a Muslim must implement on all the Six Kalimas of Islam and must preach it out because these Six Kalimas form the basics of Islam, which are necessary for each and every believer to recite on the daily basis.
