Prayer supplication

The virtue of there is no god but God

The Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, said: “You must say ‘There is no god but God’ and seek forgiveness, so do a lot of them, for Satan said: I destroyed people because of sins. And they destroyed me by saying there is no god but Allah and asking for forgiveness.”

The commandment to piety

Abu Bakr advised Omar, saying: “Know that God has work during the day that He does not accept at night, and work at night that He does not accept during the day, and that He does not accept voluntary until the obligatory prayer is performed.”

Hidden polytheism

The Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “The polytheism among you is more subtle than the crawling of an ant.” I said: O Messenger of God, is polytheism anything other than that which is worshiped instead of God? He said: “May your mother be bereaved of you... Shall I not teach you words that, if you say them, may God remove from you, both small and great? Say: O God, I seek refuge in You from associating partners with You while I know, and I seek Your forgiveness for what I do not know.

There is no god but “You.” (Narrated by Abu Bakra on the authority of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him)
