The Best Dhikr

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

Question:
May Allah reward you with good. Abu 'Adil has this question: What is the best dhikr (remembrance of Allah) so that I may commit to it?

Answer:
All dhikr has great virtue. The best dhikr, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, is the best thing I and the prophets before me say:

There is no god but Allah, alone, without any partner. To Him belong the Kingdom and praise, and He has power over everything

لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له، له الملك وله الحمد وهو على كل شيء قدير

Muwatta Malik 20:131

.
He (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

The most superior way of asking for forgiveness from Allah is: 'Allahumma anta Rabbi la ilaha illa anta. Khalaqtani wa ana `Abduka, wa ana 'ala 'ahdika

سيد الاستغفار اللهم أنت ربي لا إله إلا أنت، خلقتني وأنا عبدك، وأنا على عهدك

Sahih al-Bukhari 6323

and promise as much as I can. I seek refuge in You from the evil of what I have done. I acknowledge Your blessings upon me, and I admit my sins. So forgive me, for none forgives sins except

ووعدك ما استطعت، أعوذ بك من شر ما صنعت، أبوء لك بنعمتك علي، وأبوء بذنوبي، فاغفر لي مغفرة من عندك، إنه لا يغفر الذنوب إلا

Sahih al-Bukhari 6306

You, and have mercy on me, for You are the All-Forgiving, the Most Merciful. And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

SubhanAllah, wal-hamdulilah, wa la illaha ill-Allah, wa Allahu Akbar, wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa Billahil-aliy al-azim (Glory be to Allah, praise be to Allah, there is none worthy of worship except Allah, Allah is Most Great, and there is no power and no strength except with Allah the Exalted and Magnificent ).

خير الكلام سبحان الله، والحمد لله، ولا إله إلا الله، والله أكبر، ولا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله،

Sunan an-Nasa'i 924Hasan (Darussalam)
