لا اله الا الله

السلام عليكم
بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ
"It is mentioned, that there is a pillar in front of the Arsh of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, which begins vibrating heavily when a person recites,
لا اله الا الله
'LA ILAHA ILLALAH'
Allah سبحانه وتعالى commands: 'Stop! Be at ease!'
The pillar replies: 'How can I be at ease when the reciter of لا اله الا الله has not been forgiven?'
Then Allah سبحانه وتعالى says to it: 'Stop! I have forgiven the reciter of لا اله الا الله' "

Subhallah! Allah سبحانه وتعالى is so merciful to us! I have heard this hadith before in Taleem and I am sure it is Sahih but unfortunately in the book I'm reading it does not say who narrated it. It is late so I wont look now but Inshallah I will check my other kitabs and will post up who the narrator was.

Dua' after waking

Be patient, Its worth it!

السلام عليكم

"O Allah, keep me alive as long as you know that life is better for me and make me die when death is better for me."
