Elevate The Scale Of Good Deeds#1

1. Earn a thousand good deeds in Minutes

Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) said, "Is anyone of you incapable of earning one thousand Hasanah (rewards) a day?"

Someone from the gathering asked, "How can anyone of us earn a thousand Hasanah?"

Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said, "Glorify Allah a hundred times by just saying,Subhanallah and a thousand good deeds will be written for you, or a thousand sins will be wiped away." (Muslim 4:2073)

2. One of the Rare Treasures of Paradise

Hadhrat Abu Dharr (RA) narrated that Rasulallah [Saw] said, "Should I not tell you of one treasure of the unlimited treasures of Paradise?"

I replied spontaneously "Oh Rasulallah (Peace be upon him) that would be an honour indeed!"

Rasulallah (Saw) said: "That rare treasure is LA HAWLA WA LA QUWWATA ILLA BILLAH."

(The strength to do good and to refrain from evil comes from the grace and mercy of Allah!) -(Ibn Majah).

3. A Date Palm planted in Paradise for the one who Recites this

Hadhrat Jaa'bir [Ra] narrated that Rasulallah(Peace be upon him) said:

"For the person who recites SUB-HAN'ALLAH HIL AZEEM WA BI-HAM'DIHI,

(Pure and perfect is Allah in his glory and praise)- A date palm will be planted for him in Paradise" (Tirmidhi).

Another Narration says,

4. Forgiveness for Sins Even Though they are like the Foam of the Sea

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said,

"Whoever says, Subhan Allaahi Wa bihamdihi (Allah is free from imperfection and His is the praise), 100 times daily will be forgiven all his sins— even if they were as much as the foam of the sea. (Bukhari, Book #75, Hadith #414)

5. We Can Earn Over a BILLION Rewards in Just a Few Seconds!

Narrated 'Ubaadah that the Messenger of Allah said,

"Whoever seeks forgiveness for the believing men and believing women, Allah will write for him a good deed for each believing man and believing woman." (Tabarrani)

6. That Which Shall Have no Equal on the Day of Resurrection

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said,

"Whoever says one hundred times in a day Laa ilaaha illallaah wahdahuu laa shareeka lahu, lahu-l-mulk wa lahu-l-hamd wa huwa 'alaa kulli shai'in qadeer  (None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, the Alone Who has no partners, to Him belongs Dominion and to Him belong all the Praises, and He has power over all things (i.e. Omnipotent),

He will get the same reward as given for manumitting ten slaves. One hundred good deeds will be written in his accounts. One hundred sins will be deducted from his accounts. It (his saying) will be a shield for him from Satan on that day till night, and nobody will be able to do a better deed except the one who does more than he." (Bukhari, Book #75, Hadith #412)

7. Four Phrases that are Heavier on the Scales than an Entire Morning of Dhikrullah (Remembrance of Allah)

The Mother of the Believers, Juwairiyah bint Al-Harith reported that the Prophet came out from my apartment in the morning as I was busy in performing the dawn prayer. He came back in the forenoon and found me sitting there.

The Prophet said, "Are you still in the same position as I left you." I replied in the affirmative.

Thereupon the Prophet said, "I recited four phrases three times after I had left you. If these are to be weighed against all you have recited since morning, these will be heavier.

These are:
Subhan-Allah Wa bihamdihi, 'adada khalqihi, wa rida-a nafsihi, wa zinatah 'arshihi, wa midada kalimatihi

(Allah is free from imperfection and I begin with His praise, as many times as the number of His creatures, in accordance with His Good Pleasure, equal to the ink that may be used in recording the words (for His Praise)." (Muslim)

8. A Phrase that Comes with Rewards in the MILLIONS

On the authority of Abdullah ibn 'Umar that the Prophet said:

"Whoever enters a market and says:
'Laa ilaaha ill Allah Wahdahu laa shareeka lah, lahul Mulku Wa lahul Hamdu yuhyi Wa yumeetu Wa huwa Hayyun laa yamoot, bi yadihil khayr, wahuwa 'alaa kulli shay' in qadeer'

(There is nothing worthy of worship but Allah, He is alone without partner, to Him belongs the dominion and the praise, he causes life and death and He is the Living One and will never die. In His Hand is all good, and He is over all things capable),

Allah will write for him a million good deeds erase a million of his bad deeds and build for him a house in Jannah."

In another narration, instead of mentioning that Allah will build a house in Jannah, it states, "and he will be raised one million levels." (Tirmidhi).

9. Reciting Tasbeeh, (Subhanballah), Tahmeed (Alhamdulillah) and Takbeer Allahu Akbar), and enjoining what is Good and forbidding what is evil, and praying Salaatul Duha (Breakfast prayer)

It was narrated from Abu Dharr that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said,

"For every bone of the son of Adam a charity must be given each day.

Every Tasbeehah (saying Subhaan Allah -Glory be to Allah) is a charity, every Tahmeedah (saying Al-hamdu Lillaah -praise be to Allah) is a charity, every tahleelah (saying Laa ilaaha ill-Allah -There is no god but Allah) is a charity. Every takbeerah (saying Allaahu akbar -Allah is Most Great) is a charity. Enjoining what is good is a charity. Forbidding what is evil is a charity, and two Rak'ahs (Nafil) offered in the mid-morning (Duha) is sufficient." (Muslim, 720)

10. The Virtues of Reciting Tasbih at-I-Fatima
A well-known Tradition of the Prophet (Peace be upon him) has it that the Prophet's beloved daughter (and Hazrat Ali's (RA) wife), Hazrat Fatima (RA), used to perform all the domestic duties with her own hands.

She had even to draw water from the well and to carry it home and to grind the corn in the millstone.

One day she begged the holy Prophet (Peace be upon him) to provide her with a domestic servant upon which the Prophet (Peace be upon him) observed,

"I will tell you of something that will serve you better than a domestic servant. Recite Subhaa-nallaah 33 times, Alhamdu lillaah 33 times, and Allahu Akbar 34 timesafter each Salaah and on retiring to bed. This will be of greater value to you than a servant."

Another Tradition says,

"Whoever will recite after each Salaah 33 times Subhaa-nallaah, 33 times Alhamdu lillaah, and 34 times Allahu Akbar, and, at the end of it, the Kalima of  Laa ilaaha illal laahu wahdahu laa sharika lahu lahul mulku wa-lahul hamdu wa huwa alaa kulli shay-in qadeer  (There is no Allah but one Allah. He is alone. No partner hath. He Him belongs sovereignty and unto Him belongs Praise and He is all-Powerful),  all his sins will be forgiven even if they be as profuse as the foam of the sea."
