What is the significance of 3rd Kalma in Islam?
The basic idea behind the third kalma in Islam is to praise Allah for everything he has created. He is the only one who can answer our prayers and has powers no one can possess.
By praising Allah, a Muslim can attract his blessings and mercy. A question asked by many Muslims is why do we need to praise Allah when we know he is the greatest of all?
That is because Allah likes it when a Muslim praises him. He loved it when a Muslim decided to follow his direction and leave all the activities and things he prohibited and still praised him.
Therefore, a Muslim must recite the third Kalma every day to gain Allah’s closeness, which will eventually result in his or her betterment in this world and the world after this.
In the Holy Quran, Allah orders believers to remember him by praying and praising him. So he will remember them and be merciful. Here is the translation of Surah Baqrah Verse 152, remember Me; I will remember you. And thank Me, and never be ungrateful.
