Treasures Of Paradise

Bismillah

La Hawla Wala Quwwata Illa Billah

According to the glorious Prophet, Muhammad (peace be upon him).... it is “one of the treasures of Paradise”.

This statement is an expression of a servant’s humble submission to the power and glory of his Lord Almighty. It is a declaration announcing the reality of all realities: Everything happens only with the help of Allah alone. Man, however strong, powerful and great, is powerless, weak and meek in front of Allah.

La Hawla Wala Quwwata Illa Billah in simple English means “There is neither might nor power except with Allah”.

This powerful statement is the proclamation that all power, might, strength, grandeur and glory is by Allah, from Allah and belongs to Allah.
La Hawla Wala Quwwata Illa Billah is one of the Treasures of Jannah:

Abu Musa (R.A) reported: “While we were with Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) in a holy battle, we never went up a hill or reached its peak or went down a valley but raised our voices with Takbeer. Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) came close to us and said, “O people! Don’t exert yourselves, for you do not call a deaf or an absent one, but you call the All- Listener, the All-Seer.” The Prophet (ﷺ) then said, “O `Abdullah bin Qais! Shall I teach you a sentence which is from the treasures of Paradise? ( It is): ‘La haula wala quwata illa billah’. (There is neither might nor power except with Allah)." Sahih Bukhari

Abu Hurairah (R.A) said: “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to me: ‘Be frequent in saying: Laa ḥawla wa laa quwwata illā billa”. For verily, it is a treasure from the treasures of Paradise”. Tirmidhi

Say this powerful du’aa every time you leave your house, In sha Allah.
‎بِسْمِ اللَّهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللَّهِ لا حَوْلَ وَلا قُوَّةَ إِلا بِاللَّهِ
Bismillaahi Tawak’kaltu ‘alal-laahi Laa haula wa laa Quwwata il-la bil-laah “In the name of Allah, I trust in Allah; there is no might and no power but in Allah”

Now, I would like to quote this Hadith which highlights the virtues of La Hawla Wala Quwwata Illa Billah:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
“There is no one upon the earth who says: ‘None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and Allah is the Greatest, and there is no might nor power except by Allah, (Laa ilaaha illa Allah, wal-laahu akbar, wa laa ḥawla wa lā quwwata illa billaah) except that his sins shall be pardoned, even if they were like the foam of the sea.” Tirmidhi (Hasan)

Ya Allah Al Wali - The Protecting Friend, protect us from hearts that are not humble, tongues that are not wise, and eyes that have forgotten how to cry.

Ya Allah, Protect us from ourselves for our souls are weak. Let us not falter ever, for Jann’ah is the abode we seek.
