What is the 5 kalma?

The fifth kalima, also known as Astaghfar, translates to "seeking forgiveness," Saying sorry with genuine sincerity makes you feel better about what you did and brings you peace of mind. Apologizing facilitates the release of weighty emotions. It feels as though a burden has been lifted. You may do this to help yourself let go of the past and maintain physical and mental well-being.

Three things will eventually cause you to feel worse without you realizing it: worrying, stressing out, and feeling horrible about what you did. You have to own up to your faults, provide an apology, and then let go of the hurt sentiments in order to feel better. It's similar to releasing oneself to live a happy future from the past.

Astaghfirullah Rabbi Min Kulli Dhambin Adhnabtuhoo ‘Amadan Aw Khata-an Sirran Aw ‘Alaaniyata-wn Wa-atoobu Ilaihi Min-adh Dhambi-l Ladhee A’lamu Wamina-dh Dhambi-l Ladhi Laaa A’lamu Innaka Anta ‘Allaamu-l Ghuyoobi Wasattaaru-l ‘Uyoobi Wa Ghaffaaru-dh Dhunubi Walaa Hawla Walaa Quwwata Illaa Billaahi-l ‘Aliyyil ‘Azeem.

When it comes to the translation of the kalima 5 in english, it is:

I seek forgiveness from Allah, my Lord, for every sin I committed, knowingly or unknowingly, secretly or openly, and I turn towards Him for the sin that I know. Certainly, you (oh Allah) are the knower of the hidden things, the concealer of the mistakes, and the forgiver of the sins. And there is no power or strength except from Allah, the Highest, the Greatest.

Importance of the 5th Kalma

First of all, we need to realize that all the kalimas have their own particular importance, whether it is the 1st kalima or even the 6th kalima. As we have to talk about the 5 kalma here, the characteristics of Tauba and Astaghfar are crucial to a Muslim's existence. We cannot ask Allah for pardon and apologies without these rituals. Reciting the 5th Kalima (Astaghfar) on a regular basis forces a believer to turn away from their transgressions and serious shortcomings, guides them in carrying out their duties in accordance with Allah's will, and ensures their survival both here on Earth and in the Hereafter.

Benefits of the 5th Kalma

As we have become familiar with the importance of this particular Kalima, now it is time to talk about the different benefits of it.

The 5th Kalima brings us close to Allah

The 5 kalma , a strong proclamation pleading for pardon, actively fills the chasm between believers and Allah. It establishes a direct connection by intentionally and repentantly uttering its words, which fosters spiritual closeness. Believers actively approach Allah in search of His forgiveness by confessing their sins, no matter how obvious or veiled. The recipient's connection is transformed by this proactive repentance and the profound assertion of divine oneness, which draws them closer to Allah via the constant quest for forgiveness and spiritual purity.

Increases our Earning

A great strategy to raise rizq (earnings) and happiness in general is astaghfar. Anyone can perform this easy practice. Reciting Istighfar should be done with sincerity and concentration. Keep in mind that Istighfar is a chance to deepen your spiritual awareness and strengthen your relationship with Allah, in addition to being a time to pray for forgiveness. You make yourself vulnerable to accepting Allah's pardon and blessings when you recite Istighfar with sincerity. Your IQ and level of happiness will rise as a result of this. Thus, include Istighfar into your everyday schedule and observe how your life gets better!

It helps us in Our Worldly Affairs

We essentially throw open the door to Allah's blessings when we say Astaghfirullah. He will reward us with His love and mercy when we beg for His pardon and direction. This dua will help us break out of the cycle of worldly concerns and open the channels of provision, making it especially helpful for people who are poor or in financial difficulties.

Cleanse our Thoughts and Emotions

Frequent recitation of the 5th kalma (Astaghfar) can lead to a life of affluence and prosperity, mental and spiritual purification, and alignment with Allah's will. Thus, make this dua the first thing you do in the morning and see how your life improves!

Removes Anxiety

Reciting the fifth kalima is said to offer a spiritual cure for anxiety by pleading with God for pardon. Moreover, it expresses regret for past transgressions and requests mercy. The idea that turning to Allah in genuine repentance may ease inner anguish and build a sense of divine love and pardon provides comfort to believers.

The connection between the 4th Kalima and the kalima 5

sand running through an hourglass.

The 4th kalima underscores Allah's unity, stating that He is one and only one. This deep confession of forgiveness, which smoothly transitions to the 5th Kalma, begs for pardon and emphasizes the believer's recognition of human frailty.

The journey from acknowledging spiritual oneness to pleading for pardon for unavoidable transgressions is where the similarities reside. In the kalima 5, after professing the oneness of Allah in the Fourth, one shows humility by admitting one's dependence on divine compassion. From realizing God's unity to pleading for His pardon and kindness, these All Six Kalimas together portray a spiritual development.

Sayings of the Holy Prophet

The Messenger of Allah also stated that:

To Him! I ask for forgiveness from Allah and turn to Him in repentance more than seventy times a day.” Sahih Al-Bukhari, Book 75, Hadith 319

Hazrat Muhammad (SAW) said that:

Allah, the most praiseworthy and honorable, will accept the forgiveness of His servant till his death cycle begins.” Al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 18

Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said,

If anyone constantly seeks pardon (from Allah), Allah will appoint for him a way out of every distress and a relief from every anxiety, and will provide sustenance for him from where he expects not.” [Abu Dawud].
