Dear Brother Burhan, As-sallam-u-alleikum warah matulahi wabarakatu. I have a question that has bothered me for quite sometime. I am aware of the great importance that the Kalema-tu-shahadat has in our religion. This has lead me to wonder whether the one that we bohoras recite is the correct one as opposed to the one the Sunnis recite. In ours we have `LA ILLAHA ILLALLAH MUHAMMADUN RASULULLAH ALI YUN WALLIYULLAH` while the Sunnis have only, `LA ILLAHA ILLALLAH MUHAMMADUN RASULULLAH`.
