Recitation of the six kalimas is taught in Pakistani madrasas , but it is rare for average Pakistani Muslims not to be able to recite them all. Conversely, religious leaders are expected to be able to recite them, and the Pakistani Ministry of Religious Affairs in one instance earned political criticism for appointing as head of its Council of Islamic Ideology a man who was not able to recite them. Riaz (2008) records memorization of the six kalimas as part of the syllabus of grade 3 ( darja saum ) education (i.e. taught in the third year of a five-year course) at the Deobandi school Darul Uloom Deoband in Uttar Pradesh , India . 1.
