Six Kalimas

The Six Kalimah ( "al-kalimāt as-sitt"), also known as the Six Traditions or the Six Phrases, are six Islamic phrases often recited by South Asian Muslims. The phrases are taken in part taken from hadiths.
Recitation of the Six Kalimahs is taught in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and other South Asian countries' madrasas. Religious leaders are expected to be able to recite them, and the Pakistani Ministry of Religious Affairs in one instance earned political criticism for appointing a man who was not able to recite them as head of its Council of Islamic Ideology.
Riaz (2008) records memorization of the Six Kalimahs as part of the syllabus of grade 3 ("darja saum") education (i.e. taught in the third year of a five-year course) at the Deobandi school Darul Uloom Deoband in Uttar Pradesh, India.
