Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: These four words are so comprehensive that they encompass all of Allah’s positive and negative attributes. All those names of Allah which negate every defect and deficiency from the pure essence of Allah, the meaning of “Subhan Allah” covers all of them. And all those beautiful names (Asma’ al-Husna) which indicate Allah’s affirmative attributes of perfection, they all fall under “Alhamdulillah.” In this way, those beautiful names which indicate His oneness and uniqueness and His incomparable majesty, the phrase “La ilaha illallah” fully expresses them. And those beautiful names whose meaning and intent is that Allah is exalted above every imagination, thought, suspicion, and conjecture, their expression and explanation is done by the phrase “Allahu Akbar.” Therefore, whoever says these words with the awareness and conviction of the heart, he has expressed all the praise and attributes of Allah. For this reason, these four words, in terms of their value, greatness, and blessing, are undoubtedly superior and higher than all that upon which the sun shines. However, keep in mind, the virtues of these words will only be attained by those who adhere to Allah’s commands and avoid His prohibitions. But those who disregard Allah’s commands and teachings, commit the forbidden acts, and follow their desires, they, by merely uttering these words with their tongues, cannot become deserving of the reward and merit that has been mentioned in these ahadith.
