Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: When do we say this phrase, “I am pleased with Allah as my Lord, with Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) as my Prophet, and with Islam as my religion”? Is it after the adhan, or when the mu'adhdhin says, “I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah”?
Answer:
No, it is after you have finished the dhikr that comes after the adhan, the dhikr that was transmitted to be said after the adhan. You say, “I am pleased with Allah as my Lord and with Islam.” If you say it before, after “La ilaha illa Allah,” saying “I am pleased with Allah as my Lord,” there is no harm. Yes.
