What Are the Virtues of Tasbih, Tahmid & Takbir?
– The Most Beloved Statements to Allah
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
“The most beloved statements to Allah are four:
سُبْحَانَ اللهِ ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ ، وَلَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللهُ ، وَاللهُ أَكْبَر.”
(Muslim)
They are also “the best words after the Qur’ān.”
(Aḥmad)
– The Best Companion in a Believer’s Life
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
“There is none better in the sight of Allah than a believer whose life is lengthened in Islam and who frequently utters takbīr, tasbīḥ, tahlīl and taḥmīd.”
(Aḥmad)
– They Wipe Sins Away
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
“There is not anyone upon the earth who says:
لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللهُ ، وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ ، وَسُبْحَانَ اللهِ ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِالله
except that his sins shall be pardoned, even if they were like the foam of the sea.”
(Tirmidhī)
– Heavy on the Scales
The Messenger of ALLAH SWT said:
“There are two statements that are light on the tongue, heavy on the Scale and are beloved to the Most Merciful:
سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ ، سُبْحَانَ اللهِ الْعَظِيْم.”
(Bukhārī)
– Unparalleled Reward
The Messenger of Allah SWT Said:
“Perform tasbīḥ 100 times, for it is equivalent to freeing 100 slaves among the children of Ismāʿīl.
Perform taḥmīd 100 times, for it is equivalent to 100 saddled and bridled horses which you load in the path of Allah.
Perform takbīr 100 times, for it is equivalent to 100 adorned and accepted camels.”
(Aḥmad)
– A Form of Charity
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Every tasbīḥ is a charity, every takbīr is a charity, every taḥmīd is a charity, and every tahlīl is a charity.” (Muslim)
– Protection from the Hell-Fire
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
“For your shield from the Hell-Fire, say:
سُبْحَانَ اللهِ ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ ، وَلَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللهُ ، وَاللهُ أَكْبَر
as they will indeed come on the Day of Judgement as saviours and preceding good actions, and they are the lasting good deeds of the righteous.”
(Ḥākim)
– The Plants of Paradise
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
“I met Ibrāhīm (ʿalayhi s-salām) on the Night of al-Isrā’ (night journey), and he said to me:
‘O Muhammad, convey my greetings to your ummah, and tell them that Paradise has pure soil and sweet water, and it is a flat treeless plain.
Its plants are:
سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ وَلَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَاللهُ أَكْبَر. ’”
He ﷺ also said:
“Whoever says
سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَبِحَمْدِه,
a palm-tree will be planted for him in Paradise.”
(Tirmidhī)
– They Gather Around the Throne of Allah
The Messenger of Allah SWT said: “Indeed what you remember of Allah’s Glory (by uttering) tasbīḥ, takbīr, tahlīl and taḥmīd, gather around the Throne of Allah, buzzing like bees, mentioning to Allah the person who uttered them.
Do you not wish to have someone who mentions you by Him?”
(Ibn Mājah)
