Hadith of Jibraeel
حدثنا مسدد، قال حدثنا إسماعيل بن إبراهيم، أخبرنا أبو حيان
التيمي، عن أبي زرعة، عن أبي هريرة، قال كان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم
بارزا يوما للناس، فأتاه جبريل فقال ما الإيمان قال " الإيمان أن تؤمن
بالله وملائكته وبلقائه ورسله، وتؤمن بالبعث ". قال ما الإسلام قال
" الإسلام أن تعبد الله ولا تشرك به، وتقيم الصلاة، وتؤدي الزكاة
المفروضة، وتصوم رمضان ". قال ما الإحسان قال " أن تعبد الله
كأنك تراه، فإن لم تكن تراه فإنه يراك ". قال متى الساعة قال
" ما المسئول عنها بأعلم من السائل، وسأخبرك عن أشراطها إذا ولدت الأمة
ربها، وإذا تطاول رعاة الإبل البهم في البنيان، في خمس لا يعلمهن إلا الله
". ثم تلا النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم { إن الله عنده علم الساعة}
الآية. ثم أدبر فقال " ردوه ". فلم يروا شيئا. فقال "
هذا جبريل جاء يعلم الناس دينهم ". قال أبو عبد الله جعل ذلك كله من
الإيمان.
اللَّهُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ لاَ تَأْخُذُهُ سِنَةٌ وَلاَ نَوْمٌ لَهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الأَرْضِ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَشْفَعُ عِنْدَهُ إِلاَّ بِإِذْنِهِ يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ وَلاَ يُحِيطُونَ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ عِلْمِهِ إِلاَّ بِمَا شَاءَ وَسِعَ كُرْسِيُّهُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ وَلاَ يَئُودُهُ حِفْظُهُمَا وَهُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ (البقرة: 255
هُوَ اللَّهُ الَّذِي لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ عَالِمُ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ هُوَ الرَّحْمَنُ الرَّحِيمُ (الحشر:
هُوَ اللَّهُ الَّذِي لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ الْمَلِكُ الْقُدُّوسُ السَّلاَمُ الْمُؤْمِنُ الْمُهَيْمِنُ الْعَزِيزُ الْجَبَّارُ الْمُتَكَبِّرُ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ (الحشر: 23).
هُوَ اللَّهُ الْخَالِقُ الْبَارِئُ الْمُصَوِّرُ لَهُ الأَسْمَاءُ الْحُسْنَى يُسَبِّحُ لَهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ (الحشر: 24).

Some Other Terms
Emaan/Imaan (Faith/Creed) is
Synonymous to Aqeedah
Yaqeen (Faith) is also sometimes used as synonymously.
(Please dont go after terminology .Without any question on
word aqeedah which is right term but it is also a fact that Aqeedah term has
not been used in the quran and hadith,
Actually Emaan is the term that has been used in the Hadith of Jibraeel that articulate the Islamic faith.......In the hadith of Gabriel in Bukhari , the Prophet explained the pillars of this faith in which every human must believe, when he was asked, "What is eemaan?", he said, "To believe in Allaah and His angels and His books and His messengers and the Last Day and predestination of good and evil."

(Sahih Bukhari)
Six Articles of Islamic Aqeedah (Creed)
There are six believes of Islamic
Aqeedah, called as six article of faith (called arkān al-īmān) and
these are
Six Articles of Islamic Aqeedah
.
1. Belief in Allah, the one and only one worthy of all
worship (Oneness of the Worship),
creator, sustainer etc and all powerful for everything (Oneness
of the Lordship) with all his good name and
attributes. (Tawhid)
2.
Belief in His angels (Malāika)
3.
Belief in His Divine Books sent on
Prophets from time to time. (Kutub)
4.
Belief in His Messengers, which were
sent to Mankind from time to time. (Rusul)
5.
Belief in the Day of Judgment and in
the Resurrection (life after death). (Yawm al-qiyāmah)
6.
Belief in Destiny (Fate) (Qadar).
(Some books have separated life after death and Day of
Judgment as separate number and it makes total number to seven)
These six articles of belief has
been described in clear words in Quranic Ayats and has also been sum up in the
Hadith of Jibraeel that is in Bukhari and Muslim shareef both.
Allah says in Surah Nisa
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا آمِنُوا بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَالْكِتَابِ الَّذِي نَزَّلَ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ وَالْكِتَابِ الَّذِي أَنزَلَ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَمَنْ يَكْفُرْ بِاللَّهِ وَمَلاَئِكَتِهِ وَكُتُبِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ ضَلاَلاً بَعِيدًا (النساء: 136
[4:136]
O you
who believe, do believe in Allah and His Messenger and in the Book He has revealed
to His Messenger and in the Books He has revealed earlier. Whoever disbelieves
in Allah and His angels and His Books and His Messengers and the Last Day has
indeed gone far astray.

الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ وَلَكِنَّ الْبِرَّ مَنْ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ

Narrated Abu
Huraira Raziallahu Anhu:
One day while the Prophet was sitting in the company of some people, (The angel) Gabriel came and asked,
One day while the Prophet was sitting in the company of some people, (The angel) Gabriel came and asked,
"What is Emaan (Faith,Aqeedah)?"
Allah's Apostle replied, 'Faith is to believe in Allah, His angels,
(the) meeting with Him, His Apostles, and to believe in Resurrection."
Then he further asked,
"What is Islam?"
Allah's Apostle replied, "To worship Allah Alone and none else, to
offer prayers perfectly to pay the compulsory charity (Zakat) and to observe
fasts during the month of Ramadan." Then he further asked,
"What is Ihsan (perfection)?"
Allah's Apostle replied, "To worship Allah as if you see Him, and
if you cannot achieve this state of devotion then you must consider that He is
looking at you." Then he further asked,
"When will the Hour be established?"
Allah's Apostle replied, "The answerer has no better knowledge
than the questioner. But I will inform you about its portents.
1. When a slave (lady) gives birth to her master.
2. When the shepherds of black camels start boasting and competing with others in the construction of higher buildings. And the Hour is one of five things which nobody knows except Allah.
The Prophet then recited: "Verily, with Allah (Alone) is the knowledge of the Hour--." (31. 34) Then that man (Gabriel) left and the Prophet asked his companions to call him back, but they could not see him. Then the Prophet said, "That was Gabriel who came to teach the people their religion." Abu 'Abdullah said: He (the Prophet) considered all that as a part of faith.

Detail of these Six Articles of Aqeedah are present in
different verses of quran and Hadith.
For example for explanation of tawheed there are verses like
….
رَبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا فَاعْبُدْهُ وَاصْطَبِرْ لِعِبَادَتِهِ هَلْ تَعْلَمُ لَهُ سَمِيًّا (مريم: 65
رَبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا فَاعْبُدْهُ وَاصْطَبِرْ لِعِبَادَتِهِ هَلْ تَعْلَمُ لَهُ سَمِيًّا (مريم: 65
اللَّهُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ لاَ تَأْخُذُهُ سِنَةٌ وَلاَ نَوْمٌ لَهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الأَرْضِ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَشْفَعُ عِنْدَهُ إِلاَّ بِإِذْنِهِ يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ وَلاَ يُحِيطُونَ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ عِلْمِهِ إِلاَّ بِمَا شَاءَ وَسِعَ كُرْسِيُّهُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ وَلاَ يَئُودُهُ حِفْظُهُمَا وَهُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ (البقرة: 255
هُوَ اللَّهُ الَّذِي لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ عَالِمُ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ هُوَ الرَّحْمَنُ الرَّحِيمُ (الحشر:

For easy understanding of Muslims these has been by codified and has been put together by
Salafus Salehin Scholars of Sunnah in the form of Book.
The Kalima
What is Kalima? What is its relation with Islamic Aqeedah?
1. The Kalimah (Arabic کلمہ, means "word") the literal meaning is word. Kalima
Tayyaba means good word. In the Kalima, the basic of Islamic Aqeedah from Quran
and Sunnah has been summarised and codified in Arabic by Scholars of Sunnah.
2.
This is for easy
understanding. These kalimas were compiled and put together for people to
memorize and learn the fundamentals of Islam.
3.
These are recorded in
various books of knowledge and are recited (and memorized) by Muslim across the globe. In Islamic world parents make it memorize to
their children at very small age. In some part of the Muslim world it is very
popular and students in the early childhood remember it, Specially in Maktabs (in
India ,Pakistan Bangladesh) it is in their syllabus, so that a muslim child
become sound in Faith from beginning.
4. These Six Kalimas are from Quran and Hadith
but not present together at one place in any particular verse of Quran or
Hadith, Rather they are present as part of different verse of The Holy Quran
and authentic Ahadith. And these have been accepted by the salafus salehin
Scholar of Islam.
Some of the Sources of these
Kalima from Quran Hadith has been referenced here.
These have been compiled from various Verses
of The Holy Quran and Sahih Hadith.
Example:
فَاعْلَمْ أَنَّهُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَاسْتَغْفِرْ لِذَنْبِكَ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ مُتَقَلَّبَكُمْ وَمَثْوَاكُمْ (محمد: 19
فَاعْلَمْ أَنَّهُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَاسْتَغْفِرْ لِذَنْبِكَ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ مُتَقَلَّبَكُمْ وَمَثْوَاكُمْ (محمد: 19
مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ
اللَّهِ وَالَّذِينَ مَعَهُ أَشِدَّاءُ عَلَى الْكُفَّارِ رُحَمَاءُ بَيْنَهُمْ
(الفتح: 29
وَلَوْلاَ إِذْ دَخَلْتَ جَنَّتَكَ قُلْتَ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ لاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللَّهِ إِنْ تَرَنِ أَنَا أَقَلَّ الكهف: 39).
وَلَوْلاَ إِذْ دَخَلْتَ جَنَّتَكَ قُلْتَ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ لاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللَّهِ إِنْ تَرَنِ أَنَا أَقَلَّ الكهف: 39).
فلما علا عليها رجل
نادى فرفع صوته لا إله إلا الله والله أكبر.

Pakistan
Assalam-o-alaikum,
Respected Sir, We learn and recite six Kalimas(Tayyab, Shahadat, Tamjeed,
Tauheed, Astaghfar, Raddi-kuffr) right from our childhood. All the mosques and
Ulamas recommend these 6 Kalimas. I want to know the origin of these 6 Kalimas?
Are these found in Qur'an or Hadith and where are they mentioned. Please tell
me the reference. Jazak ALLAH
Answer:

(Fatwa: 344/236=L/1430)
These six kalimahs are proved from
hadith:
Kalimah Tayyibah:
لما
خلق اللہ جنۃ عدن وھی أول ما خلق اللہ، قال لھا: تکلمي، قالت: لا إلہ إلا اللہ
محمد رسول اللہ (کنز العمال 1:43)
Kalimah Shahadah:
أشھد
ان لا إلہ إلا اللہ وأشھد أن محمداً عبدہ ورسولہ (البخاری 1:115)
Kalimah Tamjeed:
سبحان
اللہ، والحمد للہ، ولا إلہ إلا اللہ واللہ اکبر، وفي روایۃ ولا حول ولا قوۃ إلا
باللہ العلي العظیم (مسلم 2:345)
Kalimah Tauheed:
من
دخل السوق فقال: لا إلہ إلا اللہ وحدہ لا شریک لہ، لہ الملک ولہ والحمد، یحیي
ویمیت وھو علی کل شئ قدیر (ترمذي 2:181)
While Kalimah Istighfar is mentioned
in Bukhari 2:933, and
Kalimah Radd-e-Kufr is
mentioned in Musnad Imam Ahmad 5:451.

Ta'ala) knows Best

[Note: On internet I came
across some discussion questioning the authenticity of six Kalima and some
ignorant Muslims even claiming it to be bidah (Nauzubillah). Please don’t get
into these bad mannered people who are with little knowledge and much
misinformation]
5. The Six Kalimas are
1.Kalimah Tay-Yibah (The Good Word)
2.Kalimah Shahadah (The word of Testimony.)
3. Kalima Tamjeed (The
Word of Glorification of Allah)
4.Kalimah Tawheed (The word of Oneness of Allah)
5.Kalimah Istighfar (The word Ishtagfarmeans Forgiveness,
Penitence)
6.Kalima Rud-E-Kufr (The word Rud-e-Kuf rmeans Rejecting the
Disbelief)
The Tawheed and
greatness of Allah is strongly reflected in these Kalimah. The Kalimahs is to facilitate the easy
memorizing and learning of Aqeedah (beliefs). If one read it with sincerity
knowing its translation it gives a strong feeling of faith and increase iman on
Allah.
The six statements are
very much educational and helpful for a Muslim to understand Faith.
1. The first two are
basically declaration of faith, as a Muslim,
2. The next two describes
the Tawheed of Allah and his greatness and are very popular words
of remembrance (Azkar) of Allah
3. The next two glorify
Allah his greatness, Nullify Shirk and also are very nice supplications for
God's forgiveness. All or parts of these statements can be found in the Qur'an
or the Hadith.

Kalmas its Arabic words Transliteration and Translation.

basic creed of Islam. If someone reads the basic creed with heart. He/she
becomes Muslim. This includes all other Kalima, and all explanation
are inherently included in it.
