Do you mean Karma? Karma is the reward..positive or negative...for your actions. Bhuddist I think in Origin.

no, kalma.
i'm glad you asked because i thought i knew what it meant (word, speech) until the other day when i read it in the context it is used in this thread:

I think it refers to philosophy but I found the proper meanings:

Kalam

Talk or speech as inkalamu Allah; has also been used through the ages to mean logic or philosophy.
(Source:MSA-USC)

Kalam ()
`Theology' and dogmatics. kalam begins with the revealed tradition and uses rationalistic methods in order to understand and explain it and to resolve apparent contradictions. the name was either derived from the fact that their primary question was the "word of Allah" or in imitation of philosophers who called "logic" "kalam ". (compare with falsafa).(Source:Taha Publication)

It does refer to Talk, or more specificaly a calligraphic rendering of a Surah, Hadith, or Shahada.

Here is a typical one:



Often the when a person says the Shahdah in front of witnesses it is referred to as the Kalimah, or the "Saying of the word"

Right. Just don't let anyone say that particular word over and over again while reaching for your heart.

"Kalimah" is not "saying of the word" but sentence/words arangement. And not only for ayaah in Qur'an, sentences in our words or in texts in books/newspapers are Kalimah. But there are special sentences that called "Kalimah Thoyibah" (beautiful sentences) like ayaah in Qur'an.

Saying of the word like saying Shahadah or saying promise is "Iqrar", originally from "Iqra" (recite, but not read only)
