Beautiful Dhikr from the Sunnah of the Prophet
A collection of various forms of dhikr and tasbih from the Sunnah.
- SubhanAllahi wa biHamdihi (Glory be to Allah and Praise Him).
Whoever says (the above) at morning and evening time, one hundred times, none shall come on the Day of Resurrection with anything better except someone who has said the same or more.[1]
- SubhanAllah wa biHamdihi (Glory be to Allah and Praise Him).
Whoever says (the above) a hundred times during the day, his sins are wiped away, even if they are like the foam of the sea.[2]
- SubhanAllahi wa biHamdihi (Glory be to Allah and Praise Him)
Abu Dharr reported that the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said, "Shall I tell you the words that Allah loves the most?" I said: "Yes, tell me, O Messenger of Allah." He said: "The words dearest to Allah are: subhanAllah wa bihamdihi.[3]
- SubhanAllahi 'l-`adheem wa biHamdihi (Glory be to Allah, The Supreme, and Praise Him)
A palm tree is planted for the reciter [of the above] in Paradise.[4]
- SubhanAllahi wa biHamdihi, Subhan-Allahi 'l-`adheem (Glory be to Allah, and Praise, Glory be to Allah, the Supreme)
Prophet Muhammad said: "Two words are light on the tongue, weigh heavily in the balance, they are loved by the Most Merciful One."[5]
- SubhanAllah (Glory be to Allah)
Whoever recites [the above] one Hundred times, a thousand good deeds are recorded for him or a thousand bad deeds are wiped away.[6]
- La Hawla wa la Quwatta illa Billah (There is no Might or Power except with Allah)
[the above is] a treasure from the treasures of Paradise.[7]
- SubhanAllah, walHamdulilah, wa La illaha ilAllahu, waAllahu Akbar (Glory be to Allah, All Praise is for Allah, There is No God but Allah, Allah is the Greatest)
The above are mentioned as the four most beloved words to Allah. It does not matter with which one of them is begun.[8]
Abu Sa`id reported that the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said, "Perform the enduring goods deeds (al-baaqiyaat al-SaliHaat) more frequently." They asked, "What are these enduring good deeds?" The Prophet replied: Takbir [Allahu Akbar], Tahlil [la ilaha illallah], Tasbih [Subhan'Allah], alhamdulillah, and la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah.[9]
- SubhanAllah, walHamdulilah, wa La illaha ilAllahu, waAllahu Akbar (Glory be to Allah, All Praise is for Allah, There is No God but Allah, Allah is the Greatest)
Prophet Muhammad said: �For me to say (the above) is dearer to me and all that the sun rises upon (ie the whole world).�[10]
- SubhanAllah, walHamdulilah, wa La illaha ilAllahu, waAllahu Akbar, wa la Hawla wa la quwwata illa billah (Glory be to Allah, All Praise is for Allah, There is No God but Allah, Allah is the Greatest, There is no might or any power Except with Allah)
(The above) are the good deeds which endure [al-baqiyaatuS-SaliHaat]
- SubhanAllah, walHamdulilah, wa La illaha ilAllahu, waAllahu Akbar, wa la Hawla wa la quwwata illa billah (Glory be to Allah, All Praise is for Allah, There is No God but Allah, Allah is the Greatest, There is no might or any power Except with Allah)
Abd Allah ibn Mas'ud reported that the Prophet said: "During the Night Journey I met Ibrahim (alayhis salam) who said to me: �O Muhammad, convey my greetings to your Community, and tell them that the Paradise is of pure land, its water is sweet, and its expanse is vast, spacious and even. And its seedlings are SubhanAllah, walhamdulilah, wa la ilaha ilAllah, waAllahu Akbar (the above).��[11]
- Alhamdulilah (All Praise is for Allah) - Verily the best supplication is (above).[12]
- La illaha ilAllah(u) (There is No God But Allah)
The best form of remembrance is (above).[13]
- La illaha ilAllah(u) (There is No God But Allah)
Abu Huraira reported that the Prophet said: "When a servant of Allah utters the words la ilaha illallah (there is no God except Allah) sincerely, the doors of heaven open up for these words until they reach the Throne of Allah, so long as its utterer keeps away from the major sins.�[14]
- La illaha ilAllah(u) (There is No God But Allah)
Abu Huraira reported that the Prophet said, "Renew your faith." "How can we renew our faith?" they asked. The Prophet replied: "Say always: la ilaha illallah."[15]
- La illaha ilAllahu, waHdahu la shareeka lahu, lahul Mulku, wa lahul Hamd, wa Huwa ala kulli shaiy'in Qadeer (There is No God But Allah Alone, who has no partner. His is the dominion and His is the raise, and He is Able to do all things)
Whoever says the above ten times, will have the reward for freeing four slaves from the Children of Isma'il .[16]
- La illaha ilAllahu, waHdahu la shareeka lahu, lahul Mulku, wa lahul Hamd, wa Huwa ala kulli shaiy'in Qadeer (There is No God But Allah Alone, who has no partner. His is the dominion and His is the raise, and He is Able to do all things)
Whoever says the above one Hundred times, has the reward of freeing ten slaves, a hundred good deeds are recorded for him and a hundred bad deeds are wiped away and he has gained refuge from the devil that day until evening and none shall come with anything better except someone who has done more.[17]
- La illaha ilAllahu, Wahidda(n), Ahada(n), Samada(n), lam yatakhidh sahiba(n). Wa la walada, wa la yak(n)ul-lahu kufuwan Ahad (There is no God except Allah, the One and Only, the Eternal, Who has not taken a partner nor a son. And there is none like unto Him)
Whoever says the words above ten times, then 40,000 (forty thousand) good deeds will be recorded for him.[18]
- Astaghfirullah al-'Adheemal-ladhi la ilaha illa Huwal-Hayyul-Qayyum wa atubu ilaih (I seek the forgiveness of Allah the Mighty, Whom there is none worthy except Him, the Living, The Eternal, and I repent unto Him)
Whoever says the above words, Allah will forgive him even if he deserted the army's ranks.[19]
- Allahumma anta Rabbi la ilaha illa anta, Anta Khalaqtani wa ana abduka, wa ana 'ala ahdika wa wa'dika mastata'tu, A'udhu bika min Sharri ma sana'tu, abu'u Laka bini'matika 'alaiya, wa Abu Laka bidhanbi faghfirli innahu la yaghfiru adhdhunuba illa anta (O Allah! You are my Lord! None has the right to be worshipped but You. You created me and I am Your slave, and I am faithful to my covenant and my promise as much as I can. I seek refuge with You from all the evil I have done. I acknowledge before You all the blessings You have bestowed upon me, and I confess to You all my sins. So I entreat You to forgive my sins, for nobody can forgive sins except You.)
The above du'a is known as the Sayyid al-Istighfar and is the most superior way of asking for forgiveness from Allah. Whoever says it during the day with firm faith in it, and dies on the same day before the evening, he will be from the people of Paradise; and if somebody recites it at night with firm faith in it, and dies before the morning, he will be from the people of Paradise.[20]
If someone implements ten verses of the Qur'an, He/She will not be considerate amongst the negligent on the Day of Judgment.[21]
If someone implements one hundred verses of the Qur'an, He/She will be considered among the obedient on the Day of Judgment.[22]
If someone implements one thousand verses of the Qur'an, He/She will be amongst the extremely rich on the Day of Judgement.[23]

Everything has its polish and the polish of hearts is Dhikrullah
- Muhammad
Dhikr is mentioned in many places
in the Holy Qur'an, and in most verses. It is also mentioned in
numerous ahadith. Dhikr literally means Remembrance, mentioning, and
recollection, to rehearse, to celebrate or commemorate, and in our
context, the Remembrance of Allah. It includes tasbih
(glorifying), takbir (exalting), tahmid (praising), proclaiming one�s
helplessness and destitution before Him in prayer and supplication, and
praising and praying upon the Prophet
Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala) has commanded us to remember him always. "Remember me, I shall remember you." [surah al-Baqarah; 2:152]. Dhikr
Islam is made up of Islam, Iman and Ihsan. Dhikr can encompass all
these areas. Since it involves all forms of worship to our Creator. Our
duty is to worship Allah (Ta'ala), and so any thought or action, even
if just waking up early in the morning, can form part of the dhikrullah.
The idea behind Dhikr is the
Remembrance of Allah. It is to purify our hearts and souls and uplift
our spirits. All words of praise and glory to Allah (Subhanahu wa
Ta'ala), whether spoken out loud, or silently in one's heart, are known
as dhikr. When people do dhikr, their hearts turn to the highest ideals
and are free from the temptations of sin. If one continues to keep the
remembrance of Allah in one's heart day and night, the human soul is
strengthened. It is food for the soul, and a polish of the heart, so
invigorates it. And with an invigorated soul it becomes easy to
overcome one's base instincts, overcoming the nufs, and to vanquish the
Devil. Thus one is able more easily to avoid sins and the good deeds
increase. Obviously this is true only if the words come from the heart
and not just from the tongue.
Dhikr has the ability to awaken a peron's soul. It cleanses the heart
from all else but Allah and increases His love in the heart. And so,
one is able to come closer and closer to their Maker.
Dhikr, being imital or verbal
remembrance of Allah is so consoling, pleasant and such an easy form of
worship that one can perform it continuously at all times and with
great benefit. It is known that the sahabiyaat had tongues filled with
continuous dhikr, that they would have to bite their tongues while
relieving themselves to stop themselves from making Dhikr!
A man once complained to the Prophet
, "The laws of Islam are too heavy for me, so tell me something that I
can easily follow," the Prophet, peace be upon him, told him, "Let your
tongue be always busy with the remembrance of Allah." It doesnt
have any prescribed timings, such as salah, or fasting, and this only
adds to easiness. From the small three year old child; reciting adhkar
(pl. du'a) before going to sleep, to the Old man reciting the beautiful
Names of Allah (Ta'ala) during the day. Both being dhikr.
Our weekly routines demand much
time and effort. Every new day brings old challenges and the work never
ends. If its not school, University, or work, then its the homework,
exams, or bills. It is only too easy to become swept away with the
dunya and become devoid of any upliftment for the soul, and as a result
have hardened hearts.
Invoking and calling upon Allah
(Ta'ala) will bring forth His favors. One who remembers Him even while
going about his or her daily affairs and pre-occupations will find all
obstacles removed in both this world and the next. His company will
always be felt, and He will befriend one left alone and in need of
friendship. If one remembers and mentions Him during times of ease and
comfort, His Mercy will reach one during times of trouble and pain.
The Prophet
said "Everything has a polish, which takes away rust. The polish of the
heart is dhikr." A peron's heart is susceptable to becoming hard. This
hardness can only be softened by the remembrance of Allah. One who is
devoid of dhikr and remembrance of Allah, becomes dry and stiff and as
lifeless as a dried up leaf. If you step on it, it will crumble into
pieces, but if you moisten it, it will revive, and become invigorated.
May Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala)
make us among the Dhaakireen (those who remember him); those most
fortunate servants who oft engage in His dhikr, and among those who
have tranquil, peaceful hearts.
Ameen.
Compiled by 'Mutma'inaa' [2/12/02]
DHIKR IS THE GREATEST OBLIGATION
AND A PERPETUAL DIVINE ORDER Dhikr of Allah is the most excellent act of Allah's
servants and is stressed over a hundred times in the Holy Qur'an.
It is the most praiseworthy work to earn Allah's pleasure, the
most effective weapon to overcome the enemy, and the most
deserving of deeds in reward. It is the flag of Islam, the polish
of hearts, the essence of the science of faith, the immunization
against hypocrisy, the head of worship, and the key of all
success.There are no restrictions on the modality, frequency, or
timing of dhikr whatsoever. The restrictions on modality
pertain to certain specific obligatory acts which are not the
issue here, such as Salat. The Shari`a is clear and everyone
knows what they have to do. Indeed, the Prophet said that the
People of Paradise will only regret one thing: not having made
enough dhikr in the world! Are not those who are making up
reasons to discourage others from making dhikr afraid of Allah in
this tremendous matter?
Allah says in His holy Book: "O Believers, make abundant
mention of ALLAH!" (33:41) And He mentions of His servants
"Those who remember their Lord standing, and sitting, and
lying on their sides" (3:191), in other words at all times
of the day and night. He said (3:190-191): "The creation
of heaven and earth and the changes of night and day are signs
for people who have wisdom: -- consider who is described as
having wisdom -- Those who remember (and recite and call)
Allah standing up, sitting, and lying on their sides."
`A'isha said, as narrated by Muslim, that the Prophet
mentioned/remembered Allah at all times of the day and night.
The Prophet said: "If your hearts were always in the
state that they are in during dhikr, the angels would come
to see you to the point that they would greet you in the middle
of the road." Muslim narrated it. Imam Nawawi in his Sharh
sahih muslim commented on this hadith saying: "This kind
of sight is shown to someone who persists in meditation (muraqaba),
reflection (fikr), and anticipation (iqbal) of the
next world."
Mu`adh ibn Jabal said that the Prophet also said: "The
People of Paradise will not regret except one thing alone: the
hour that passed them by and in which they made no remembrance of
Allah." Narrated by Bayhaqi in Shu`ab al-iman (1:392
#512-513) and by Tabarani. Haythami in Majma` al-zawa'id
(10:74) said that its narrators are all trustworthy (thiqat),
while Suyuti declared it hasan in his Jami` al-saghir
(#7701).
Allah placed His remembrance above prayer in value by making
prayer the means and remembrance the goal. He said:
"Lo! Worship guards one from lewdness and iniquity,
but verily, remembrance of Allah is greater/more
important." (29:45)
"He is successful who purifies himself, and remembers
the name of his Lord, and so prays." (87:14-15)
"So establish prayer for My remembrance."
(20:14)
Ibn Hajar in his Fath al-bari (1989 ed. 11:251) relates
Qadi Abu Bakr Ibn al-`Arabi's explanation that there is no
good deed except with dhikr as a precondition for its validity,
and whoever does not remember Allah in his heart at the time of
his sadaqa or fasting, for example, then his
deed is incomplete: therefore dhikr is the best of deeds because
of this.
Dhikr is, therefore, something of tremendous importance. Abu
Hurayra said that the Prophet said, Peace be upon him: "The
earth and everything in it is cursed, except for dhikr and what
attends dhikr, and a teacher (of dhikr) and a student (of
dhikr)." Narrated by Tirmidhi who said it is hasan,
Ibn Majah who said the same, Bayhaqi, and others. Suyuti cites it
in al-Jami` al-saghir from al-Bazzar's similar narration
from Ibn Mas`ud and he declared it sahih. Tabarani also
narrated it in al-Awsat from Abu al-Darda'.
By the words "the world and everything in it" is
meant here all that claims status or existence apart from Allah
instead of in Him. In fact, all creation does dhikr because Allah
said that all creation does praise to Him constantly, and tasbih
is a kind of dhikr. Allah said of the Prophet Yunus, when the
whale swallowed him: "Had he not been one of My glorifiers (musabbihin),
he would have remained inside the whale's stomach until Judgment
Day." (37:143-144)
The one who engages in dhikr has the highest rank of all
before Allah. The people who call on Allah without distraction
have been mentioned in Qur'an, as well as the effect that calling
has on their heart: "In houses which Allah has allowed to be
raised to honor and for His Name to be remembered in them; He is
glorified there day and night by men whom neither trade nor sale
can divert from the rememberance of Allah" (24:36-37).
"Those who believe, and their hearts find satisfaction in
the rememberance of Allah: By remembering Allah, truly
satisfaction comes to the heart" (13:28).
During the night of Isra' and Mi`raj, the Prophet was taken up
to a point where he heard the screeching of the Pens (writing the
divine Decree). He saw a man who had disappeared into the light
of the Throne. He said: "Who is this? Is this an
angel?" It was said to him, no. He said: "Is it a
Prophet?" Again the answer was no. He said: "Who is it
then?" The answer was: "This is a man whose tongue was
moist with Allah's remembrance in the world, and his heart was
attached to the mosques, and he never incurred the curse of his
father and mother." Shaykh Muhammad `Alawi al-Malaki cited
it in his collated text of the sound narrations on that topic
entitled al-Anwar al-bahiyya min isra' wa mi`raj khayr
al-bariyya.
In Ahmad, Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah, and Ibn Hibban declared it
fair (hasan): A man came to the Prophet and said, "O
Rasulallah, the laws and conditions of Islam have become too many
for me. Tell me something that I can always keep (i.e. in
particular, as opposed to the many rules and conditions that must
be kept in general)." By reading that the man said there
were too many conditions to keep, one must understand that he was
unsure that he could keep them all. He wanted something that he
would be sure to keep always. The Prophet said: "(I am
advising you in one thing:) Keep your tongue always moist
with dhikrullah."
It is well-known in Islam that the best work in the path of
Allah is jihad. Yet the Prophet, Peace be upon him, placed dhikr
even above jihad in the following authentic hadiths.
Abu al-Darda' narrates: The Prophet once asked his companions:
"Shall I tell you about the best of all deeds, the best act
of piety in the eyes of your Lord, which will elevate your status
in the Hereafter, and carries more virtue than the spending of
gold and silver in the service of Allah or taking part in jihad
and slaying or being slain in the path of Allah? The dhikr of
Allah." Related in the Malik's Muwatta', the Musnad
of Ahmad, the Sunan of Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah, and the Mustadrak
of Hakim. Al-Bayhaqi, Hakim and others declared it sahih.
Abu Sa`id narrates: The Prophet was asked, "Which of the
servants of Allah is best in rank before Allah on the Day of
resurrection?" He said: "The ones who remember him
much." I said: "O Messenger of Allah, what about the
fighter in the way of Allah?" He answered: "Even if he
strikes the unbelievers and mushrikin with his sword until
it broke, and becomes red with their blood, truly those who do
dhikr are better than him in rank." Related in Ahmad,
Tirmidhi, and Bayhaqi.
`Abd Allah ibn `Umar said that the Prophet used to say:
"Everything has a polish, and the polish of hearts is dhikr
of Allah. Nothing is more calculated to rescue from Allah's
punishment than dhikr of Allah." He was asked whether
this did not apply also to jihad in Allah's path, and he
replied: "Not even if one should ply his sword until it
breaks." Bayhaqi narrated it in Kitab al-da`awat al-kabir
as well as in his Shu`ab al-iman (1:396 #522), also
al-Mundhiri in al-Targhib (2:396) and Tibrizi mentions it
in Mishkat al-masabih, at the end of the book of
Supplications.
