(Note: Below is brief translation in
English of Maulana’s lesson. It is an effort on our part for brothers and
sisters who do not understand Urdu. It may not be up to the mark of Maulana
as this is not translated by him. Any errors regretted. You may communicate
any error to us for rectification. JazakAllah Khair.)
Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh (May the peace, mercy,
and blessings of Allah be with you).
Mua’dh Ibn Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him)
narrates, he heard Prophet Muhammed (SAW) saying that there are two phrases (Kalimahs) La
ilaaha il-lal-Allah (There is none worthy of worship besides Allah) and
Allahu Akbar (Allah is Great!). Out of these, La ilaaha il-lal-Allah does not
stop until it reachs Arsh (Throne of Allah (SWT)) and Allahu Akbar
fills the gap between earth and sky with light or blessings of Allah.1
Here is an
interesting point in another book of hadith, it extends that, when this hadith reached Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), he
confirmed (with the narrator of the hadith) if he has heard Prophet Muhammed
(SAW) saying this. On confirmation by the narrator, Ibn Umar cried so much
that his beard got wet with tears. Then Ibn Umar said, all my life I will be
bonded with these two phrases and he used to recited them throughout the day.
He also told everyone, since he has heard this hadith, he has got bonded with
these two phrases.2
These are very simple phrases and easy to
memorize. One can recite them while doing daily chores of life (like cooking,
driving, resting etc.)
May Allah (SWT) grant us the ability to follow
this.
