Tawheed Summarized.

[Abu Hafsat]

As-Salaam alaikum, 

The four phrases : Subhanallah, Alhamdulillah, Laa ilaha illallah, Allahu Akbar and the hawlaqa: La hawla wa la quwata illa Billah, together encompass Tawheed (worshipping Allah alone) and qadar (pre-decree). 

Ibn Abi Awfaa said, a man came to the Prophet, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam, and said : "I cannot learn the Qur'an, so teach me something that will suffice me. He said, (recite) Subhanallah, wal hamdulillah, wa Laa ilaha illallah, Wallahu Akbar, wa la hawla walaa quwata illa Billah.." (Abu Dawud 832, Nisa'i 2/143).

Abu Huraira, may Allah be pleased with him, reported :" Shall I inform you of a phrase which is under the Throne and from amongst the treasures of Paradise? Say, 'La hawla walaquwata illa billah'  Allah will say, 'My servant has submitted himself in intention, action and worship (as lama was-taslama). /Hakim, Arabi, Fath al Baari 11/501.

A servant does not control any of his affairs, he does not have the means to repel harm or the ability to attain goodness except by Allah's Will. A servant cannot change disobedience of obedience, sickness to health, weakness to strength, deficiency to perfection except by Allah's Help. 

What Allah wills happens and what He does not will won't happen. The affairs of the creation are tied to His Decree and Pre-Destination. 

Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar!! 

Wa Lillahil Hamd!!!
