AN EFFECTIVE DAILY PRAYER
In his book of al-Da’awat, al-Qutb al-Rawandi reports Imam al-Rida(a.s.) to have quoted the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) as saying: He who wishes that his status in the Highest Group excels the status of the warriors for Allah’s sake, must repeat the following words of glorification every day. If he has a request to be granted, it will be granted; if he has an enemy to overcome, his enemy will be suppressed; if he has a debt to be settled, his debt will be settled; if he passes by an agony, he will be relieved; and his words will penetrate the Seven Skies to be written down in the Reserved Tablet (al-lawh al-mahfuz):
سُبْحَانَ اللّٰهِ كَمَا يَنْبَغِىْ لِلّٰهِ وَالْحَمْدُلِلّٰهِ كَمَا يَنْبَغِىْ لِلّٰهِ وَ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا اللّٰهُ كَمَا يَنْبَغِىْ لِلّٰهِ وَاللّٰهُ اَكْبَرُ كَمَا يَنْبَغِىْ لِلّٰهِ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ اِلَّا بِاللّٰهِ وَ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّدٍ النَّبِىِّ وَ عَلٰى اَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ وَ جَمِيْعِ الْمُرْسَلِيْنَ وَالنَّبِيِّيْنَ حَتّٰى يَرْضَى اللّٰهُ۔
All glory be to Allah as it should be for Allah.
All praise be to Allah as it should be for Allah.
There is no god save Allah as it should be for Allah.
Allah is the Greatest as it should be for Allah.
There is neither might nor power except with Allah.
May Allah send blessings upon Muhammad, the Prophet, and upon his Household
and all the Messengers and Prophets
