What can we do in one minute?

 

سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ وَلَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ 

 Subhaa-nallaah, wal-hamdu Lillah, wa laa ilaaha illallaah, wallaahu Akbar

 

Glory be to Allaah, praise be to Allaah, there is no god except Allaah, and Allaah is the Greatest

 

Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam said,” To say this is more beloved to me than all that the sun rises upon.” (Sahih Muslim)

 

In one minute, you can say the above words more than 18 times. These words are the most beloved words to Allaah, the best of words, and they weigh heavily in the balance of good deeds.

سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ، سُبْحَانَ اللهِ العَظِيمِ

 Subhaa-nallaahi wa bi hamdi-hi, Subhaa nallaa hil Azeem

 

 Glory and praise be to Allaah, glory be to Allaah, the Almighty

 

In one minute you can say it 50 times. These are two phrases which are light on the lips, heavy in the balance and beloved to the Most Merciful.

سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ

 Subhaa-nallaahi wa bi hamdi-hi

 

Glory and praise be to Allaah

 

In one minute you can say it 100 times. Whoever says that in one day will be forgiven for his sins even if they are like the foam of the sea.

لاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ

 Laa hawla wa laa quwwata illa Billaah

 

There is no strength and no power except with Allaah

 

In one minute you can say it more than 40 times. This is one of the treasures of Paradise.

لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ

 Laa ilaaha illallaah

 

There is no Deity besides Allaah

 

In one minute you can say it approximately 50 times. This is the greatest word, for it is the word of Tawheed, the good word, the word that stands firm. If these are the last words of a person, he will enter Paradise.

أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللهَ 

 Astaghfirullaah

 

I seek the forgiveness of Allaah

 

In one minute you can seek the forgiveness of Allaah more than 100 times. The virtues of seeking forgiveness are a means of attaining forgiveness and entering Paradise, and it is the means of being granted a good life, increasing one’s strength, warding off disasters, making things easier and increasing one’s wealth and children.

صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ 

 Salallahu alayhi wa sallam

 

May Allaah bless him and grant him peace

 

In one minute you can send blessings on Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam 50 times by saying the above. In return, Allaah will send blessings upon you 500 hundred times because one blessing brings ten like it.

 

The above actions are among the greatest means of attaining happiness, expanding the chest (i.e., bringing relief and joy) and removing stress and anxiety. May Allaah help us to do that which He loves and which pleases Him.
