Indeed whosoever purifies himself (by avoiding polytheism and accepting Islamic Monotheism) shall achieve success, And remembers (glorifies) the Name of his Lord (worships none but Allah), and prays (five compulsory prayers and Nawafil additional prayers). (Quran – 87: 14-15)
Often, while waiting for someone, while waiting at the doctor’s office for your appointment or even waiting for the bus, don’t you wonder what you could have done in the few minutes of time that you have? You can turn these few spare minutes into the most valuable ones of your day.
Shortcut # 6 Wiping off ones sins even if they are as much as the foam of the ocean
There are two dua’s recommended in the following hadith. Read on carefully for the numerous rewards for each of them.
Abu Hurayrah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported that Allah’s Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upn him) as saying:
“He who uttered these words: ‘there is no deity worthy of worship (in truth) but Allaah, the One, having no partner with Him. Sovereignty belongs to Him and all the praise is due to Him, and He is Potent over everything’ one hundred times every day there is a reward of emancipating ten slaves for him, and there are recorded hundred virtues to his credit, and hundred vices are blotted out from his scroll, and that is a safeguard for him against the Satan on that day till evening and no one brings anything more excellent than this, except one who has done more than this (who utters these words more than one hundred times and does more good acts) and he who utters ‘Hallowed be Allah, and all praise is due to Him,’ one hundred times a day, his sins are obliterated even if they are equal to the extent of the foam of the ocean.”
– Sahih Muslim, Hadith No. 6508).
The second dua mentioned will not take more than 2 minutes to repeat a 100 times:
“Hallowed be Allaah, and all praise is due to Him”
سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ
SubhaanAllahi wa biHamdihi
If you have a bit more time, then do repeat the first dua as well as the benefits are enormous.
We need as many virtues as we can, and as many of our sins to be forgiven!
There is no deity worthy of worship (in truth) but Allaah, the One, having no partner with Him. Sovereignty belongs to Him and all the praise is due to Him, and He is Potent over everything
لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ، وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
Laa ‘ilaaha ‘illallaahu wahdahu laa shareeka lahu, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu, wa Huwa ‘alaa kulli shay’in Qadeer.
