The Best Slaves of Allah in the Day of Judgement

The Best Slaves of Allah in the Day of Judgement


 Praise is due to Allah the Almighty, peace and blessings of Allah be upon the Prophet Muhammad, his Family, his Companions and whosoever follows him. The aim of Muslim in this life is to prepare for the Day of Judgement. This preparation requires great effort and high attention to avoid the Hellfire and enter Paradise. There is no way to run away from the Day of Judgement, so every Muslim has to devote his time for this day.
Allah the Almighty says:

   {يَقُولُ الْإِنْسَانُ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَيْنَ الْمَفَرُّ *كَلَّا لَا وَزَرَ *إِلَى رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ الْمُسْتَقَرّ} [القيامة: 10-12]

Interpretation of the Verses: “Man will say on that Day, "Where is the [place of] escape?". No! There is no refuge. To your Lord, that Day, is the [place of] permanence”[Al-Qiyaama:10-12].

Therefore, we have to find an optimal way to gain rewards and be among the best slaves in the Day of Judgment. If we follow the guidance in Sunna, we will achieve our goal to please Allah the Almighty. The Prophet (صلي الله عليه وسلم) informed us about excellent deeds that make us among the best slaves in the Day of Judgement. Abu Huraira (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Prophet (صلي الله عليه وسلم) said:
مَنْ قَالَ حِينَ يُصْبِحُ وَحِينَ يُمْسِي "سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَبِحَمْدِه" مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ ‏.‏ لَمْ يَأْتِ أَحَدٌ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بِأَفْضَلَ مِمَّا جَاءَ بِهِ إِلاَّ أَحَدٌ قَالَ مِثْلَ مَا قَالَ أَوْ زَادَ عَلَيْهِ
Interpretation of Hadith shows that the Prophet (صلي الله عليه وسلم) said: “He who says in the morning and in the evening (these words 'Subhan-Allahi wa bihamdihi' (Allah is free from imperfection and His is the praise) one hundred times, he would not bring on the Day of Resurrection anything excellent than this except one who utters these words or utters more than these words” [Muslim].

Abu Huraira (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Prophet (صلي الله عليه وسلم) said:

‏من قال لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له، له الملك، وله الحمد، وهو على كل شيء قدير، في يوم مائة مرة كانت له عدل عشر رقاب وكتبت له مائة حسنة، ومحيت عنه مائة سيئة، وكانت له حرزًا من الشيطان يومه ذلك حتى يمسي، ولم يأتِ أحد بأفضل مما جاء به إلا رجل عمل أكثر منه‏"‏ وقال‏:‏ ‏"‏من قال سبحان الله وبحمده، في يوم مائة مرة حطت عنه خطاياه وإن كانت مثل زبد البحر

Interpretation of Hadith shows that the Prophet (صلي الله عليه وسلم) said: "He who utters a hundred times in a day these words: 'La ilaha illa-Allah, wahdahu la sharika lahu, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu, wa Huwa 'ala kulli sha'in Qadir (i.e. there is no true God except Allah. He is One and He has no partner with Him; His is the sovereignty and His is the praise, and He is Omnipotent),' he will have a reward equivalent to that for emancipating ten slaves, a hundred good deeds will be recorded to his credit, hundred of his sins will be blotted out from his scroll, and he will be safeguarded against the devil on that day till the evening; and no one will exceed him in doing more excellent good deeds except someone who has recited these words more often than him. And he who utters: 'Subhan-Allahi wa bihamdihi (i.e. Allah is free from imperfection and His is the praise)' one hundred times a day, his sins will be obliterated even if they are equal to the extent of the foam of the ocean." (Agreed upon).
Dear brothers, it is so simple act and in the same time great multiple rewards. We have to utter our tongue with these supplications in Arabic. These supplications will be a key motivation for every Muslim to adopt every day. Moreover, we can double and increase our rewards in case of spreading the knowledge of these excellent deeds. Inform your family, encourage your children, tell your friends, share the knowledge via social media and monitor your record of excellent deeds every day and every moment. Prepare for the Day of Judgement with these acts to be among the winners and to be among the best slaves in The Day of Judgement.
