Forty Hadiths on the Merit of Saying la-e-laha ill-lal-lah
Ihda' - Donating the reward of Qur'an
First will I explain from the past books, to make any sense for the present
statement, in Judaism you have "Hear O Israel, the Lord our Lord is ONE
Lord", and in Christianity you have "…I believe in ONE God"[john 17.3] Thus
one can see the affirmation of Unity made from the past.
The Testimony of Unity has two halves; its first a Negation (-) of any divinity
apart from God that is; ‘There is no divinity(Gods)’ - la-e-lahaa ’and the
second is an Affirmation, a Positive (+) of divinity of God that is; ‘but God’ ill-
lal-lah.
When a Negative and Positive are joined they make a spark, a spark that
turns to a light, a light that becomes a flame, a flame burning and illuminating
your heart with Faith– Imaan in arabic, God Willing.
Who ever reflects deeply will find all creatures affirm the Oneness of God
Most High, for example I work with computers, and I was thinking about the
simple language a computer is programmed in, and its called Binary, Binary
is actually Zeros and ones or Plus’s (0) and Negatives (1) or you can say - +,
Negation and Affirmation.
Thou hast banished from me the evil of Wanderers of night and day by
means of:- la-e-lahaa ill-lal-lah.
I am protected from haunting spirits and demons and magic and (demonic)
mates of evil and all the hosts of Iblis - [arabic name for Satan] by means of ;
la-e-lahaa ill-lal-lah.
When Moses Asked God for the Best Invocation (prayer) to Remember him
continually, he was given la-e-lahaa ill-lal-lah, every prophet of God was
given this Formula to remember God with and By.
Actions produce effects on the heart. Just as the effect of an atoms weight of
food or drink or medicine is not lost on the body, so too the effect of an
atom’s weight of goodness or evil is not lost either drawing near to Gods
door or in separation from Him. But what is the way to come close to God
you may be asking, we will now explain.
If your searching for Islam/or finding out is Islam is for you, the n the
following practice May help you, Or you want to Strength your Faith in
God.
Among the rules of conduct are wearing of proper, Clean ( i.e. clothes not
stained with urine or its like) sweet-smelling clothes and maintaining purity of
body (Cleanliness is next to Godliness ) also you need to clean the Outside
[body] (by have a bath and one MUST Make an Intention to coming close to
God) before one can to attempt to Clean the inside [Heart].
Thus Ritual (Purity (bathing) implies the Negation of uncleanness and the
Affirmation of Ritual Purity. In Almsgiving, there is negation of love of money
and affirmation of love of God.
And purity of stomach by eating lawful food. Although the invocation of :- la-
e-lahaa ill-lal-lah, expels the parts arising from unlawful good, nevertheless,
when the stomach is empty of unlawful food or whatever is doubtful, the
benefit of the invocation is in a greater or more lasting illumination of the
heart. When there is unlawful food in the stomach, the invocation washes it
out and purifies the stomach. Consequently, at such times its benefit in
illuminating the heart is weaker.
Do you not see that if you wash solid things in water, it removes the dirt, but
they are not very clean? For that reason, it is preferable to wash them a
second or a third time. However, if an area to be washed is already free of
dirt, it increases in beauty and radiance from the first laundering. When the
invocation descends into the heart, if there is darkness within, it illuminates it;
and if there is already light, the invocation increase the light and intensifies it
.
The rules of conduct associated with the invocation are sincerity, perfuming
the place of invoking with sweet fragrance for sake of the angels, sitting
cross-legged facing the direction of prayer (that’s east). Close one’s eyes
and face straight ahead.
The novice should invoke with perfect force and respectful veneration. There
is no divinity But Go:- ‘la-e-lahaa ill-lal-lah ’ should rise from above his
navel. By the phrase ‘There is no divinity’ (la-e-lahaa ) he should intend
excluding from the heart what is other-than-God. By the phrase ‘but God’ (ill-
lal-lah), he should intend uniting the formula in the heart so to fix ill-lal-lah
firmly in the heart and let it flow throughout all the members of the body,
casing the meaning of the invocation to be present in his heart at every
instant.
It is to mediation like a lamp that guides one in the dark towards an open
road. It thwarts sinful actions: ‘…Verily, good deeds annul bad deeds…’
invoking puts an end to the separation that occurs between the Lord and the
forgetful servant.
Its forgetfulness of God that has made the servants to forget their souls and
that is the extreme of corruption. Leading to confusing and darkness,
invoking is a light for the servant in the world and the next, his grave, his
resurrection and his assembling with others on the Day of Judgement. it is
the fundamental principle and the door to spiritual growth. It’s the sign of
authority whereby it assails the ego and passionate desires. When invocation
of la-e-lahaa ill-lal-lah, is firmly rooted in the heart and drops down in it and
the tongue becomes subordinate to it, the invoker is in need of nothing; so he
progresses and ascends. As for the forgetful man, even if he be wealthy, he
is in reality poor, and if he be powerful he is actually base.
From the results of this practice, you will see in your dreams or by inner
understanding of overwhelming. That Faith will be Deposited within your
Heart. This of course is the blessing of the God Almighty, May you be
Guided to the Truth.
Finally say a supplication:- O Lord (Ya Rab-bi) for the sake of you Beloved
(Habib), and for the sake all your Prophets, Saints and Martyrs. And for the
sake for you Greatest Hidden Name (Ism-al-Azaam). I Beg for you Guidance
(He-day-yah).
