Allah Favorite Words
Just some words (dua) can transform our lives for the better in this world and the hereafter. Some words are loved by us, and some are loved by Allah. The significance of these words is found in the beautiful surprise that Allah loves them.
As stated in a hadith of the prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:
كَلِمَتَانِ خَفِيفَتَانِ عَلَى اللِّسَانِ، ثَقِيلَتَانِ فِي الْمِيزَانِ، حَبِيبَتَانِ إِلَى الرَّحْمَنِ، سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ الْعَظِيمِ، سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ
There are two expressions that are very easy for the tongue to say, but they are very heavy in the balance and are very dear to The Beneficent (Allah), and they are, ‘Subhan Allah Al- `Azim and ‘Subhan Allah wa bihamdihi.
