Adhkar following each Salah
…counting on their fingers, one
should exalt Allah thirty three times by saying: “Subhana-Allah (Glory be to
Allah)”, praise Him thirty three times by saying: “Al-hamdu-lillah (Praise be to
Allah)”, and should also say: “Allahu-akbar (Allah is the Greatest)” thirty
three times. The total is ninety nine. To make it hundred, one should say: “La
ilaha illa Allah wahdahu la-sharika lahu lahu-lmulku walahu-lhamdu wahuwa `ala
kulli shay’in qadir (None has the right to be worshipped except Allah Alone,
without partner. His is the dominion and to Him belongs all praise and He has
power over all things).”
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Whoever recites this Du`a’ (supplication), his sins will be forgiven even if they were as much as the foam of the ocean.
This Du`a’ contains great benefits and
abundant good. The Hadith means that if recitation of this Du`a’is accompanied
by sincere intention of turning to Allah in repentance, seeking Allah’s Forgiveness,
regretting and giving up sins, Allah will hopefully grant the supplicant
abundant good and may forgive his major sins. If these words are uttered out of
true faith in Allah and out of sincere repentance, Allah will forgive both
major and minor sins.
