ADHKAAR WITH THE KALIMAH
RECOMMEND TIMES & REWARDS
The Kalimah (i.e., Laa ilaaha ill-Allah), is the greatest words in existence. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “The best dhikr is Laa ilaaha ill-Allah.” (Tirmidhi & Nisa’ii)
Because it is the word of Tawheed, and there is nothing like Tawheed. It is that which differentiates between disbelief and faith. And because it makes one’s mind focus completely on Allah, to the exclusion of all else; and it is more purifying to the soul and cleansing to the heart, and more effective in ridding the nafs of evil and keeping the Shaytaan at bay.
Therefore the successful one among the people of this world is the one who frequently recites these words at all times and in all places, and whose tongue and heart never weary of repeating them, remembering their meanings, and bearing in mind their objectives.
Adhkaar with the Kalimah - Times, Virtues & Rewards
The Kalimah (Any time, Everytime)
لا إله إلا الله
La ilaha ilIa-Allah
None has the right to be worshiped but Allah
We read the Hadeeths about the virtues of La Illaaha Ill Allah in the previous class…
Heavier than the heavens & the earth.
Heavy on the scale
Best Dhikr
Uttering before death gets Paradise. The Messenger of Allaah ﷺ said: “If a person’s last words are Laa ilaaha ill-Allaah, Paradise will be guaranteed for him.” (Ahmad & Abu Dawood; classed as saheeh)
On the Day of Arafat and during Early Morning & Evening
لا إلهَ إلاّ اللّهُ وحْـدَهُ لا شَـريكَ لهُ، لهُ المُـلْكُ ولهُ الحَمْـد، وهُوَ على كُلّ شَيءٍ قَدير .
Laa ilaaha illAllaah wahdahu la shareeka lah, lahul mulk wa lahul hamd wa huwa 'ala kulli shay'in qadeer
‘None has the right to be worshipped except Allah, alone, without partner, to Him belongs all sovereignty and praise, and He is over all things omnipotent.’
The Prophet ﷺ said: “The best invocation is that of the Day of Arafat, and the best that anyone can say is what I and the Prophets before me have said: (the above)” (Tirmidhi)
Recommended Times :Arafat and during Early Morning & Evening
Reward of reciting it in the morning and evenings
The Prophet ﷺ said,
Saying it once: “Whoever says (the above), in the morning, then it will be like freeing a slave from the descendants of Ismaa’eel, and ten good deeds will be written for him, ten bad deeds will be erased for him and he will be raised by ten degrees and he will be protected from satan until the evening; and if he says it in the evening, then there will be the like of that for him until the morning.” (Aboo Daawood 5077).
Saying it 10 times: "Whoever recites it ten times will be as if he had freed one of Ismaa’eel's descendants. (Saheeh at Targheeb 660).
Saying it 100 times: "Whoever says: (the above) one hundred times will get the same reward for freeing ten slaves; and one hundred good deeds will be written in his account, and one hundred sins will be deducted from his account, and it 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 him." (Bukhaaree 6403).
Four times in the Morning & Evening
للّهُـمَّ إِنِّـي أَصْبَـحْتُ أَشْـهِدُك ، وَأُشْـهِدُ حَمَلَـةَ عَـرْشِـك ، وَمَلائِكَتِك ، وَجَمـيعَ خَلْـقِك ، أَنَّـكَ أَنْـتَ اللهُ لا إلهَ إلاّ أَنْـتَ وَحْـدَكَ لا شَريكَ لَـك ، وَأَنَّ ُ مُحَمّـداً عَبْـدُكَ وَرَسـولُـك
Allaahumma 'innee 'asbahtu 'ush-hiduka wa 'ush-hidu hamalata 'arshika, wa malaa'ikataka wajamee'a khalqika, 'annaka 'Antallaahu laa 'ilaaha 'illaa 'Anta wahdaka laa shareeka laka, wa 'anna Muhammadan 'abduka wa Rasooluka.
O Allah , I have entered a new morning and call upon You and upon the bearers of Your Throne , upon Your angels and all creation to bear witness that surely You are Allah , there is none worthy of worship but You alone , You have no partners, and that Muhammad is Your slave and Your Messenger .
Recommended time : (Four times in the Morning & Evening)
Virtue
The Prophet ﷺ said, "Allah will spare whoever says this four times in the morning or evening from the fire of Hell, " (Abu Dawud, Al-Bukhari in Al-'Adab Al-Mufrad, An-Nasa'i in 'Amalul-Yawm wal-Laylah and Ibn As-Sunni. Nasa'i's and Abu Dawud's chains of transmission are good (Hasan), Ibn Baz, p. 23).
After Wudoo
أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له، وأشهد أن محمدًا عبده ورسوله
‘Ashhadu an laa ilaaha ill-Allah wahdahu laa shareeka lah wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan ‘abduhu wa rasooluhu
(I bear witness that there is no god except Allah alone, with no partner or associate, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger)
Recommended time : After wudu
The Prophet ﷺ said, “There is no one among you who does wudu and does it well, then says, (The above), but the eight gates of Paradise will be opened to him and he will enter through whichever one he wishes.’” (Sahih Muslim).
Al-Tirmidhi (55) added:
اللهم اجعلني من التوابين واجعلني من المتطهرين
“allahumm aj’alni min al-tawwabeena waj’alni min al-mutatahhireena
(O Allah, make me one of those who repent and make me one of those who purify themselves).
There is a difference of opinion about this addition if this is Sahih (Albani) or Da’eef (Ibn Hajar).
When waking up from sleep during the night
لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ، وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ، وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ. الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ، وَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ، وَلاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ، وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ، وَلاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللَّهِ
اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي
Laa ilaaha ill-Allah wahdahu laa shareeka lah, lahu’l-mulk wa lahu’l-hamd wa huwa ‘ala kulli shay’in qadeer. Al-hamdu-lillaah wa subhaan-Allah wa laa ilaaha ill-Allah wa Allahu akbar, wa laa hawla wa laa quwwata illa Billaah
(There is no god but Allah Alone, with no partner or associate. To Him belongs praise and His is the sovereignty, and He is Able to do all things. Praise be to Allah, glory be to Allah, there is no god but Allah and Allah is Most Great. There is no power and no strength except with Allah)
Recommended time : When waking up from sleep during the night.
“Whoever turns over at night and says (the above), then he says, Allahumma aghfir li (O Allah, forgive me), or he makes du’aa’, his prayer will be granted. If he does wudu and prays, his salaah will be accepted.” (Sahih Bukhari)
After saying the salaam at the end of the prayer
لا إلهَ إلاّ اللّهُ وحدَهُ لا شريكَ لهُ لهُ المُـلْكُ ولهُ الحَمْد وهوَ على كلّ شَيءٍ قَدير اللّهُـمَّ لا مانِعَ لِما أَعْطَـيْت وَلا مُعْطِـيَ لِما مَنَـعْت وَلا يَنْفَـعُ ذا الجَـدِّ مِنْـكَ الجَـد
“Laa ilaaha ill-Allah wahdahu laa shareeka lah, lahu’l-mulk wa lahu’l-hamd wa huwa ‘ala kulli shay’in qadeer. Allahumma laa maani‘ lima a‘tayta wa laa mu‘ti lima mana‘ta wa la yanfa‘ dhaa’l-jadd minka al-jadd
(There is no god but Allah Alone, with no partner or associate, His is the sovereignty and to Him be praise, and He is Able to do all things. O Allah, none can withhold what You give and none can give what You withhold, and no wealth or majesty can benefit anyone for from You is all wealth and majesty).”
The Prophet ﷺ used to say (the above) following every prayer, after saying the salaam. (Bukhari & Muslim)
At times of distress and hardship
"لا إله إلا الله العظيم الحليم، لا إله إلا الله رب العرش العظيم، لا إله إلا الله رب السماوات ورب الأرض ورب العرش الكريم"
“Laa ilaaha ill-Allah al-‘Azeem al-Haleem, laa ilaaha ill-Allah Rabb al-‘Arsh al-‘azeem, la ilaaha ill-Allah Rabb ul-samawaati wa Rabb ul-ard wa Rabb ul-‘Arsh il-kareem”
(There is no god but Allah, the All-Powerful, the Forbearing; there is no god but Allah, Lord of the mighty Throne; there is no god but Allah, Lord of heaven, Lord of earth, and Lord of the noble Throne).”
The Prophet ﷺ used to say (the above) at times of distress: (Bukhari & Muslim).
When someone becomes ill
( لا إلهَ إلاّ اللهُ وَ اللهُ أكْبَرُ )
( لا إلهَ إلاّ اللهُ وَحْدَهُ )
( لا إله إلاّ اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لا شَرِيْكَ لَهُ )
( لا إلهَ إلاّ اللهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَ لَهُ الْحَمْدُ )
( لا إلهَ إلاّ اللهُ وَ لا حَوْلَ وَ لا قُوَّةَ إلاّ بِاللهِ )
(Laa ilaaha illallaah, wallaahu akbar)
(Laa ilaaha illallaah, wahdah)
(Laa ilaaha illallaah, wahdahu laa shareeka lah)
(Laa ilaaha illallaah, lahul-Mulku wa lahul-hamd)
(Laa ilaaha illallaah, wa laa hawla wa laa quwwata illaa billaah)
The Prophet ﷺ said, “Whoever says (the above) during his illness and then dies, then the Fire shall not taste him”. (Tirmidhi, authenticated by Albani)
May Allah bless us all with Tawheed and make us amongst those whose last words are the Kalimah and make us amongst those who not just recite but also live by the Kalimah.
