Recitation of the Six Kalimahs is taught in South Asian Muslim Schools.[1] In Islam the kalimahs are not restricted to only 6 however in South Asia (and only South Asia) they have restricted the kalimahs to 6.[2] The importance of learning the Six Kalimahs is disputed, with some regarding them as essential phrases to be memorised and others arguing that they are not present in the Quran or substantiated by Muhammad.[3]
