Radde kufr - just made up!!!!

Assalamulaikum,
if you are not a muslim then this post may not make sense to you so I apologise, if you are a muslim, I would really like to know your view on this.....

Radde Kufr, also known as the fifth Kalima, when i showed my fil this kalima, he said that it was an innovation made up by normal people, they do this to and make good muslims bad......wow! what a statement to make, he really thinks he knows everything and anything that he hasnt come across is obviously made up for tghe sake of it. I was really hurt and i just said to him, tell me is what is said in this so bad? he replied no and i just left it at that. Everyone i asked about radde kufr said its always been there.

anyways this converstaion took place in front of my mother in law who said that there was no such thing. a few weeks later, bringing us to yesterday she was reading this bengali dua book and guess what there it was radde kufr..... " is this the kalimah you were refering to?" she asks me yes i reply. oh it does exist ...its in this bengali dua book.....now my dear readers this cahnges everything, if its in a BENGALI dua book then of course its right...but if i read it in taleem ul islam or taleem ul haq its a load of nonsense. I said to her fil said that it was a bad thuing, and she just looked humble.

i dont understand it, why do they give importance to anything that is in bengali over any other islamic book? why is it that if its in bengali then it is 100% ok.

Gotta be careful with kids....

salams

Children are really funny at times, especially my youngest though sometimes i dont know whether I should be laughing or banging my head against the wall!!

My children though they are young have learnt their kalimas and some of the surahs, last week i thought that I would teach the yooungest the meaning of kalima in english, " there is no God except Allah" which they chanted out loudly " and Muhammed (PBUH) is Allah's messenger".
we talked about it at great length and discussed the oneness of our Lord. anyway fast forward a few days, i decided to ask questions on it ..."what does La illa ha ill lal lahu ....mean?" my youngest shouted really loudly "THere is no God.." I eagerly awaited for her to end the sentence when it dawned on to me that that was the end of the sentence! " come one there is no God except......" still no answer...... she continued to say that there was no God.... so yes I had to very carefully again go through our lesson... now it goes something like this " there is no GOD..." (then i beckon with my eyes and hands to continue) then comes...oh, except Allah..yay! we got there.

on another ocassion she told me that Allah was haalik....what ? i said Halik, whats Halik.. she continued to say Allah's Halik....to which my eldest came to the rescue and said mum I think they mean Allah is Al Khaaliq.....lol! dont you just love kids.
