“That rare treasure is:
لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ LA HAWLA WA LA QUWWATA ILLA BILLAH.”(“The strength to do good and to refrain from evil comes from the grace and mercy of Allah!”) (Ibn Majah)
3. Hadhrat Abu Dharr al-Ghifari (RA) narrates that"my beloved friend”(the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam)) has enjoined five things upon me. He has commanded me to love and be close to the poor and the downtrodden, and he has commanded me to look at those in the world who are of lower rank than me, and not at those who are of higher rank, and he has commanded me to be kind to the kinsman and to preserve and keep intact the bond of kinship, and he has commanded me not to ask for anything from anyone as a favour and he has commanded me to speak the truth at all times though it may be bitter for others, and he has commanded me to care nothing for the rebuke of those who revile and vilify in the path of Allah, and he has commanded me to recite much the Kalimah of:لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ Laa Hawla wa laa Qawwuta Illaa Billah(there is no power or strength but in Allah) because all these things are from the treasure-house (of Allah) which is under the ninth heaven.(Ahmad)
4. A Date Palm planted in Paradise for the one who Recites this
Abu Hurairah (RA) reported: The Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam)said, "There are two statements that are light for the tongue to remember, heavy in the Scales and are dear to the Merciful:
سُبْحَانَ اللّهِ وَ بِحَمْدِهِ ، سُبْحَانَ اللّهِ الْعَظِيمِ `Subhan-Allahi wa bihamdihi, Subhan-Allahil-Azim[Glory be to Allah and His is the praise, (and) Allah, the Greatest is free from imperfection)'.'' (Bukhari and Muslim)
Another Narration says:
5. Forgiveness for Sins Even Though they are like the Foam of the Sea:
Narrated Abu Hurraira (RA) : Allah’s Apostle (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said,“Whoever says:
سبحان الله وبحمده ‘Subhaanallahi Wa bihamdihi,{Allah is free from imperfection and His is the praise}.
One hundred times a day, will be forgiven all his sins even if they were as much as the foam of the sea.(Bukhari, Book #75, Hadith #414)
6. We Can Earn Over a BILLION Rewards in Just a Few Seconds!
Narrated ‘Ubaadah (RA) that the Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said, “Whoever seeks forgiveness for the believing men and believing women, Allah will write for him a good deed for each believing man and believing woman.”(Tabarani)
7. That Which Shall Have no Equal on the Day of Resurrection:
Narrated Abu Hurraira (RA) : Allah’s Apostle (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said,”Whoever says one hundred times in a day:
لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدَ، وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
“Laa ilaaha illallaah wahdahuu laa shareeka lahu, lahu-l-mulk wa lahu-l-hamd wa huwa ‘alaa kulli shai’in qadeer,”
(“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)”,}
he will get the same reward as given for manumitting ten slaves; and one hundred good deeds will be written in his accounts, and one hundred sins will be deducted from his accounts, and it (his saying) will be a shield for him from Satan on that day till night, and nobody will be able to do a better deed except the one who does more than he.”(Bukhari, Book #75, Hadith #412)
8. Four Phrases that are Heavier on the Scales than an Entire Morning of Dhikrullah (Remembrance of Allah):
The Mother of the Believers, Juwairiyah bint Al-Harith (RA) reported that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) came out from my apartment in the morning as I was busy in performing the dawn prayer. He came back in the forenoon and found me sitting there. The Prophet said,”Are you still in the same position as I left you.”I replied in the affirmative. Thereupon the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam)said,“I recited four phrases three times after I had left you. If these are to be weighed against all you have recited since morning, these will be heavier. These are:
Subhan-Allah Wa bihamdihi, ‘adada khalqihi, wa rida-a nafsihi, wa zinatah ‘arshihi, wa midada kalimatihi
(Allah is free from imperfection and I begin with His praise, as many times as the number of His creatures, in accordance with His Good Pleasure, equal to the ink that may be used in recording the words (for His Praise).” (Muslim)
9. A Phrase that Comes with Rewards in the MILLIONS:
On the authority of Abdullah Ibn ‘Umar (RA) that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam)said:“Whoever enters a market and says:
لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ يُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُ وَهُوَ حَيٌّ لَا يَمُوتُ بِيَدِهِ الْخَيْرُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٍ
‘Laa ilaaha ill Allah Wahdahu laa shareeka lah, lahul Mulku Wa lahul Hamdu yuhyi Wa yumeetu Wa huwa Hayyun laa yamoot, bi yadihil khayr, wahuwa ‘alaa kulli shay’ in qadeer’
{There is nothing worthy of worship but Allah, He is alone without partner, to Him belongs the dominion and the praise, he causes life and death and He is the Living One and will never die. In His Hand is all good, and He is over all things capable.)
Allah will write for him a million good deeds erase a million of his bad deeds and build for him a house in Jannah.”
And in another narration: instead of mentioning that Allah will build a house in Jannah, it states,“and he will be raised one million levels.”(Tirmidhi)
10.Reciting Tasbih, (Subhaanallah), Tahmeed (Alhamdulillah) and Takbir- Allaahu Akbar), and enjoining what is Good and forbidding what is evil, and praying Salaatul Dhuha (Breakfast prayer)
It was narrated from Abu Dharr (RA) that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: “For every bone of the son of Adam a charity must be given each day. Every Tasbeehah (saying سبحان الله Subhaanallah -Glory be to Allah) is a charity, every Tahmeedah (saying Alhamdulillah -praise be to Allah) is a charity, every tahleelah (saying Laa ilaaha ill-Allah -There is no god but Allah) is a charity, every takbeerah (saying:
اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ Allaahu Akbar - Allah is Most Great) is a charity, enjoining what is good is a charity, forbidding what is evil is a charity, and two Rak’ahs (Nafil) offered in the mid-morning (Dhuha) is sufficient.”(Muslim, 720)
11. The Virtues of Reciting Tasbih at-I-Fatima
A well-known Tradition of the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) has it that the Prophet's (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam)beloved daughter (and Hadhrat Ali's (RA) wife), Hadhrat Fatima (RA) , used to perform all the domestic duties with her own hands. She had even to draw water from the well and to carry it home and to grind the corn in the millstone. One day she begged the holy Prophet to provide her with a domestic servant upon which the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) observed,"I will tell you of something that will serve you better than a domestic servant. Recite: سبحان الله Subhaanallah 33 times, Alhamdulillah 33 times, and
اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ Allaahu Akbar 34 timesafter each Salaah and on retiring to bed. This will be of greater value to you than a servant."
Another Tradition says,"Whoever will recite after each Salaah 33 times سبحان اللهSubhaanallah, 33 times Alhamdulillah, and 34 times اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ Allaahu Akbar, and, at the end of it, the Kalima of:
لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدَ، وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
‘Laa ilaaha illal laahu wahdahu laa sharika lahu lahul mulku wa-lahul hamdu wa huwa alaa kulli shay-in Qadeer’.
“There is no Allah but one Allah. He is alone. No partner hath. He Him belongs sovereignty and unto Him belongs Praise and He is all-Powerful) all his sins will be forgiven even if they be as profuse as the foam of the sea."
12. How to Erase 2500 Sins in 5 minutes!
Abd-Allah Ibn ‘Amr (RA) who said:“The Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: ‘There are two qualities, no Muslim man acquires them but he will enter Paradise, and they are simple and easy. He should glorify Allah (say سبحان الله Subhaanallah) ten times immediately after each prayer, and praise Him (say Alhamdulillah) ten times and magnify Him (say اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ Allaahu Akbar) ten times.’
I saw the Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam)counting this on his fingers. He said:‘That makes one hundred and fifty on the tongue and one thousand five hundred (hasanaat) in the scales.
[Translator’s note: each of three phrases repeated ten times makes thirty; multiplied by the number of daily prayers, which is five, makes one hundred and fifty. Each of these good deeds of the tongue will be rewarded with ten hasanaat (Good deeds) which will be added to the total of good deeds to be weighed in the balance or scales on the Day of Judgement].
13. Glorifying Allah 100 times when one goes to bed
When you go to bed, glorify Him and praise Him and magnify Him One hundred times:that will be one hundred on the tongue and a thousand in the scales.Who among you does 2,500 bad deeds in one day?’They said:‘How could we not count (our sins)?’He said:‘The Shaytaan comes to any one of you whilst he is praying and says, Remember this, remember that, until he finishes his prayer and does not do (this Dhikr), or he comes to him when he is lying down and makes him sleepy, until he falls asleep (without doing this Dhikr).’” (Sunan al-Tirmidhi, 3332)
14. Earning a 1000 good deeds and wiping away a 1000 bad deeds in Minutes
If a person says سبحان الله"Subhaanallah" (glory be to Allah) 100 times, a thousand good deeds are recorded for him and a thousand bad deeds are wiped away.(Muslim)
15. Jannah becomes obligatory for the one who Recites the following
Abu Sa’id said that Rasulallah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam)said,“Whoever says:
رَضِيتُ بِاللهِ رَبَّاً وَبِالإِْسلاَمِ دِيناً وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ رِسُولاً ".
Radeetu billahi rabban, Wa bil-Islaami deenan, Wa bi-Muhammadin rasoolan
Jannah becomes obligatory for him (to enter).(Abu-Dawud)

16. The Virtues of Reciting the First Kalimah
The declaration of belief in the oneness of Allah or Kalimah Tayyaba
Laa ilaaha ill-Allah
(There is no worthy of worship except Allah)
Hadhrat Zaid bin ‘Arqam (RA) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam)said:“Whoever says Laa ilaaha illallaah…sincerely will enter the Paradise.”
It was said: And what is the [sign of] sincerity? He said: “That this kalimah stops him from those things which Allah has forbidden.” (Tabarani in Awsat-ul-Kabeer)
“Do you not see how Allah puts forth the likeness of a good word (Kalimah Tayyaba)? It is like a good tree, whose root is firmly fixed and whose branches reach to the sky. It brings forth its fruit in all seasons by the command of its Lord. And Allah sets forth parables for men, so that they may take heed. And the likeness of an evil word (Kalimah khabeetha- a word of shirk) is like an evil tree, which is uprooted from the face of the earth, and has no stability.”(Qur’an: 24-26)
17. Virtues of Reciting the Third Kalimah:
The word of glorification or the Kalima-e-Tamjeed:
سُبْحَانَ اللهِ، وَالْحَمْدُ للهِ، ولَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ، وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ العَلِيِّ الْعَظيِمِ،
Subhāna-llāhi, wa-l-hamdu li-llāhi, Wa lā ilāha illā-llāhu, wa-llāhu akbar. Wa lā hawla Wa lā quwwata illā bi-llāhi-l-‘aliyyi-l-‘azīm
(Glory be to Allah. And praise be to Allah. And there is no god except Allah. And Allah is the Greatest. And there is no power and no strength except with Allah, the Most High, And Most Great)
Ibn Mas’ud (RA) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam)said: “When I met Prophet Ibraheem (peace be upon him) in the night of Mi’raaj (Night of ascension) he asked me to convey his Salaam to my Ummah and to tell them that the Paradise has a fertile soil and sweet water, and is like a vast field. And its plants are [the words above].”
Another version says: “Whoever recites the words above, a tree in Paradise is planted for him for each word he says.”(Virtues of Dhikr; Tirmidhi)
18. Virtues of reading the Fourth Kalimah:
The word of Oneness of Allah or the Kalima-e-Tawhid:
لا الهَ اِلَّا اللّهُ وَحْدَهُ لا شَرِيْكَ لَهْ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَ لَهُ الْحَمْدُ يُحْى وَ يُمِيْتُ وَ هُوَحَىُّ لَّا يَمُوْتُ اَبَدًا اَبَدًا ذُو الْجَلَالِ وَ الْاِكْرَامِ بِيَدِهِ الْخَيْرُ وَهُوَ عَلى كُلِّ شَئ ٍ قَدِيْرٌ
Lā ilāha illā-llāhu waḥdahu lā sharīka lahu lahu-l-mulku Wa lahu-l-hamdu yuḥyi Wa yumītu Wa huwa ḥayyu-llā yamūtu abadan abada, ḏū-l-jalāli wa-l-ikrām, biyadihi-l-khayr, wa huwa ‘alā kulli Shay’in qadīr.
(There is no god except Allah, Who is Alone and has no partners. For Him is the Dominion and for Him is all praise. He gives life and causes death. And He is living and will never ever die. Owner of Majesty and Honour: In His Hands is all goodness. And He has power over all things)
Abu Hurraira (RA) reports that the Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam)said:“A person who recites:
لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدَ، وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
Laa ilaaha illal-laahu wahdahu laa shareeka lahu, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu wa huwa ‘alaa kulli shay-in qadeer
a hundred times daily will have reward equal to that of freeing ten slaves and one hundred good deeds will be written for him, and one hundred of his sins will be lifted from him, and for the whole day, he will remain immune from the Shaytaan until the evening, and on the Day of Judgment, no one will exceed him in merit except one who has done [these phrases] more.”(Agreed Upon)
19. We will regret the Seconds we wasted without remembering Allah
Hadhrat Mu'adh (RA) narrated Rasulallah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam)said:“The Inhabitants of Paradise will not be grief stricken or sorrowful about anything they did in the life of the world except for the time they spent without being in the remembrance of Allah”(Tabarani)
20. Do Dhikr of Allah even if its on Comfortable beds
Hadhrat Abu Saeed Khudri (RA) narrated that Rasulallah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam)said:
“There are many people reclining on comfortable beds and making the Dhikr of Allah on earth. Allah will grant them elevated ranks (in the Aakhirah).”(Ibn Hibbaan)
Those indulging in luxury should not abstain from Dhikrullah. They too should be constantly engaged in the remembrance of Allah whilst enjoying the comforts of the bounties which whilst enjoying the comforts of the bounties which Allah has bestowed on them and Allah will give them elevated ranks in the hereafter.
21. Do so much Dhikr that people think your mad
Hadhrat Abu Saeed Khudri (RA) also narrates that Rasulallah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam)said:
“Engage in the Dhikr of Allah in such abundance that people comment that ‘you are insane’.”(Ahmed, Abu Ya’la, Ibn Hibbaan)
22. Remember Allah in the places where people don’t usually remember Allah
It is mentioned in hadith that in a place where people are oblivious to Dhikr, remembrance of Allah is like being steadfast in jihad, when others are running away.(Targhib, p. 193, vol. 3 ref. Bazaar and Tibrani)
