An Unparalleled Reward
The Declaration of Tawhid
Arabic
لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ، وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
Transliteration
Laa ilaaha illal-laah, wahdahu laa shareeka lah, lahul-mulk, wa lahul-hamd, wa Huwa 'alaa kulli shay'in Qadeer.
Meaning in English
There is no god worthy of worship except Allah. He is Alone and He has no partner whatsoever. To Him Alone belong all sovereignty and all praise. He is over all things All-Powerful.
Virtue and source
Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "He who says [the above] 100 times in a day will have a reward equivalent to that of freeing 10 slaves. A 100 good deeds will be recorded to his credit, and a 100 of his sins will be blotted out from his scroll. He will be safeguarded against Shaytan on that day till the evening; and none will surpass him in doing better good deeds except someone who has recited these words more often than him." (Bukhari 3293)
How to read this dhikr
An Unparalleled Reward is part of the morning azkar, the adhkar the Prophet ﷺ taught for the morning. The best time is after Fajr, before the sun rises; if you miss that window it can still be read later in the morning, before Dhuhr.
It is read 100 times. In the Sadeeq app a single tap counts each repetition and moves you on automatically when you reach 100, so you can keep your attention on the words rather than on a counter.
The same dhikr is also part of the evening azkar.
