Subḥānallāhi wa bi-ḥamdihī — ʿAdada Khalqihī (The Comprehensive Tasbīḥ)
#152سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ، عَدَدَ خَلْقِهِ، وَرِضَا نَفْسِهِ، وَزِنَةَ عَرْشِهِ، وَمِدَادَ كَلِمَاتِهِ
Subḥānallāhi wa bi-ḥamdihī, ʿadada khalqihī, wa riḍā nafsihī, wa zinata ʿarshihī, wa midāda kalimātih.
Glory be to Allah and all praise is due to Him — as many times as the number of His creation, as vast as His pleasure, as weighty as the throne, and as endless as the ink of His words.
Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2726 — from Juwayriyah (RA): the Prophet ﷺ said these four phrases weigh more on the Scale than the countless tasbīḥ she had recited from morning until forenoon.
The Last Two Verses of Sūrah at-Tawbah — A Shield and Comfort
#153لَقَدْ جَاءَكُمْ رَسُولٌ مِّنْ أَنفُسِكُمْ عَزِيزٌ عَلَيْهِ مَا عَنِتُّمْ حَرِيصٌ عَلَيْكُم بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَؤُوفٌ رَّحِيمٌ فَإِن تَوَلَّوْا فَقُلْ حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَهُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ
Laqad jā'akum rasūlum min anfusikum ʿazīzun ʿalayhi mā ʿanittum, ḥarīṣun ʿalaykum bil-mu'minīna ra'ūfun raḥīm. Fa-in tawallaw faqul ḥasbiyallāhu lā ilāha illā huwa, ʿalayhi tawakkaltu wa huwa rabbu l-ʿarshi l-ʿaẓīm.
There has certainly come to you a Messenger from among yourselves. Grievous to him is what you suffer; [he is] concerned over you, and to the believers he is kind and merciful. But if they turn away, say, 'Sufficient for me is Allah; there is no deity except Him. On Him I have relied, and He is the Lord of the Great Throne.'
Qur'an 9:128–129 — these closing verses of Sūrah at-Tawbah are among the most powerful words of tawakkul and refuge; recited for protection and comfort in difficulty.
The Throne of Sovereignty — Qur'an 3:26–27
#154قُلِ ٱللَّهُمَّ مَـٰلِكَ ٱلْمُلْكِ تُؤْتِى ٱلْمُلْكَ مَن تَشَآءُ وَتَنزِعُ ٱلْمُلْكَ مِمَّن تَشَآءُ وَتُعِزُّ مَن تَشَآءُ وَتُذِلُّ مَن تَشَآءُ ۖ بِيَدِكَ ٱلْخَيْرُ ۖ إِنَّكَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ تُولِجُ ٱلَّيْلَ فِى ٱلنَّهَارِ وَتُولِجُ ٱلنَّهَارَ فِى ٱلَّيْلِ ۖ وَتُخْرِجُ ٱلْحَىَّ مِنَ ٱلْمَيِّتِ وَتُخْرِجُ ٱلْمَيِّتَ مِنَ ٱلْحَىَّ ۖ وَتَرْزُقُ مَن تَشَآءُ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ
Qulillāhumma mālika al-mulki, tu'tī al-mulka man tashā'u wa tanzi'u al-mulka mimman tashā'u, wa tu'izzu man tashā'u wa tudhillu man tashā'u, biyadika al-khayru, innaka ʿalā kulli shay'in qadīr. Tūliju al-layla fī an-nahāri wa tūliju an-nahāra fī al-layli, wa tukhriju al-ḥayya mina al-mayyiti wa tukhriju al-mayyita mina al-ḥayyi, wa tarzuqu man tashā'u bighayri ḥisāb.
Say, 'O Allah, Owner of Sovereignty, You give sovereignty to whom You will and You take sovereignty away from whom You will. You honor whom You will and You humble whom You will. In Your hand is all good. Indeed, You are over all things competent. You cause the night to enter the day, and You cause the day to enter the night; and You bring the living out of the dead, and You bring the dead out of the living. And You give provision to whom You will without account.'
Qur'an 3:26–27 — a comprehensive declaration of Allah's absolute sovereignty, power, and provision; often recited when seeking authority, decision, honor, or relief from humiliation.
Kalimah Ṭayyibah — The Testimony of Faith
#156لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللهِ
Lā ilāha illallāhu, Muḥammadar-rasūlullāh.
There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.
The first kalimah — the foundation of faith and the most virtuous dhikr. Mentioned in the Qur'an (e.g., 37:35, 48:29) and in countless authentic aḥādīth as the word of tawḥīd by which Paradise is granted.
