The Remembrance Of Allah
سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ
“Glory is to Allah and praise is to Him” (100 times)
Narrated Abu Huraira
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Whoever says, ‘Subhan Allah wa bihamdihi,’ one hundred times a day, will be forgiven all his sins even if they were as much as the foam of the sea.” (Bukhari)
Abu Hurairah narrated that:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Whoever says in the morning and in the evening ‘Glory is to Allah and with His Praise (Subḥān Allāh, wa biḥamdih)’ a hundred times, none shall bring better than him on the Day of Judgment except one who did the same as him, or increased upon it.” (At-Tirmidhi)
Ibn `Umar narrated that one day:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to his Companions: “Say ‘Glory is to Allah and with His Praise (Subḥān Allāh, wa biḥamdih)’ a hundred times. Whoever says [it] one time, it is written for him ten, and whoever says it ten (times), it is written for him a hundred, and whoever says it a hundred (times), it is written for him a thousand, and whoever increases, Allah will increase for him, and whoever seeks Allah’s forgiveness, [Allah] will forgive him.” (At-Tirmidhi)
سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ، سُبْحانَ اللهِ الْعَظِيمِ
“Glory is to Allah and the praise; Glory is to Allah, the Magnificent”
Abu Hurairah narrated that:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “There are two statements that are light on the tongue, heavy on the Scale, and beloved to Ar-Raḥmān: “Glory is to Allah and the praise; Glory is to Allah, the Magnificent. (Subḥān Allāhi wa biḥamdih, Subḥān Allāhil-Aẓīm)” (At-Tirmidhi)
َ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ الْعَظِيمِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ
“Glory is to Allah, the Magnificent, and with His Praise”
Jabir narrated that:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Whoever says: ‘Glory is to Allah, the Magnificent, and with His Praise (Subḥān Allāhil-Aẓīm, wa biḥamdih)’ a date-palm tree is planted for him in Paradise.” (At-Tirmidhi)
لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّه وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ، وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ، وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
“None has the right to be worshiped but Allah alone, Who has no partner. His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He is Able to do all things” (100 times)
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, “If one says one-hundred times in one day: “None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, the Alone Who has no partners, to Him belongs Dominion and to Him belong all the Praises, and He has power over all things (i.e. Omnipotent)”, one will get the reward of manumitting ten slaves, and one-hundred good deeds will be written in his account, and one-hundred bad deeds will be wiped off or erased from his account, and on that day he will be protected from the morning till evening from Satan, and nobody will be superior to him except one who has done more than that which he has done.” (Bukhari)
سُبْحَانَ اللهِ، وَالْحَمْدُ اللهِ، وَلاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللهُ، وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ
“Glory is to Allah, and praise is to Allah, and there is none worthy of worship but Allah, and Allah is the Most Great”
Samura b. Jundub reported
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said “The dearest phrases to Allah are four: Subhan Allah (Hallowed be Allah), Al-Hamdulillah (Praise be to Allah), La ilaha illa-Allah (There is no deity but Allah), Allahu Akbar (Allah is Greater). There is no harm for you in which of them begin with (while remembering Allah)...” (Muslim)
لاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِا اللهِ
“There is no power and no might except by Allah”
Narrated Abu Musa
We were in the company of the Prophet (ﷺ) on a journey, and whenever we ascended a high place, we used to say Takbir (in a loud voice). The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “O people! Be kind to yourselves, for you are not calling upon a deaf or an absent one, but You are calling an All-Hearer, and an All-Seer.” Then he came to me as I was reciting silently, “La haul a wala quwwata illa bil-lah.” He said, “O `Abdullah bin Qais! Say: La haul a walaquwata illa bil-lah, for it is one of the treasures of Paradise." Or he said, “Shall I tell you a word which is one of the treasures of Paradise? It is: La haul a wala quwwata illa bil-lah.” (Bukhari)
اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرِ لِي، وَارْحَمْنِي، وَاهْدِنِي، وَعَافِنِي وَارْزُقْنِي
“O Allah forgives me, and have mercy on me and guide me and give me good health and provide for me”
Abu Malik Ashaja'i reported on the authority of his father that whenever a person embraced Islam, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) instructed him to recite:
“O Allah, grants me pardon, have mercy upon me, direct me to the path of righteousness and provide me sustenance.” (Muslim)
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala said:
“ Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest.” (13:28)
“So remember Me and I will remember you. And thank Me and never be ungrateful.” (2:152)
“The men who remember Allah often and the women who do so, for them Allah had prepared forgiveness and a great reward.” (33:35)
“O you who believed! remember Allah with much remembrance. And glorify His Praises morning and afternoon” (33:41-42)
“O you who believed! Let not your properties or your children divert you from the remembrance of Allah. And whoever does that - then those are the losers” (63:9)
“ And glorify the Praises of your Lord when you get up from sleep. And in the night-time also, glorify His Praise - and at the setting of the stars.” (52:48-49)
“And remember your Lord within yourself in humility and in fear without being apparent in speech - in the mornings and the evenings. And do not be among the heedless.” (7:205)
“And remember Allah often that you may succeed” (62:10)
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Allah says: 'I am just as My slave thinks I am, (i.e. I am able to do for him what he thinks I can do for him) and I am with him if He remembers Me. If he remembers Me in himself, I too, remember him in Myself; and if he remembers Me in a group of people, I remember him in a group that is better than they; and if he comes one span nearer to Me, I go one cubit nearer to him; and if he comes one cubit nearer to Me, I go a distance of two outstretched arms nearer to him; and if he comes to Me walking, I go to him running.' “ (Bukhari)
'A'isha said: “The Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) used to remember Allah at all moments.” (Muslim)
Narrated Abu Musa:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The example of the one who celebrates the Praises of his Lord (Allah) in comparison to the one who does not celebrate the Praises of his Lord, is that of a living creature compared to a dead one." (Bukhari)
Abu Ad-Darda [may Allah be pleased with him] narrated that :
the Prophet said: “Should I not inform you of the best of your deed, and the purest of them with your Master, and the highest of them in your ranks, and what is better for you than spending gold and silver, and better for you than meeting your enemy and striking their necks, and they strike your necks?” They said: “Of course.” He said, “The remembrance of Allah [Most High].” [Then] Mu’adh bin Jabal [may Allah be pleased with him] said: “There is nothing that brings more salvation from the punishment of Allah than the remembrance of Allah.” (At-Tirmidhi)
