Kalimah Tayyibah
How a few minutes of your time can save you from hell
Shaikh Abu Yazeed Qurtubi (Rahmatullah alaih) writes: "On learning that one who recites Laa Ilaaha illallah seventy thousand times becomes safe from the fire of hell, I completed this number once for my wife and then several timesfor my own self as a provision for the Hereafter." (Fadhaa'il e Zikr - Shaikhul hadeeth Hadhrat moulana Muhammed Zakariya Sahib R.A.)
According to the extract stated above, we can see what great virtues there is for the kalimah Tayyibah. We think about it, it is not so difficult to obtain this objective i order to saffeguard ourselves and others from the fire of hell. This kalimah can be completed 70,000 times in one month such as in the month of Ramadhaan y praying it just 2,334 times each day for 30 days or 2,414 times for 29 days. If that sounds to much aswell, then by reciting the Kalimah 200 times everyday this objective can be realised by tghe end of the year. To be exact, it will take you 350 days to complete it, however, this will only take up a few minutes out of the 1,440 minutes (24 hours) which we are blessed with everyday.
One of the things which Rasulullah (SAW) said on the last day of Sha'baan, as reported by Hadhrat Salmaan is that "And in this month, four things you should continue to perform in greater number,two of which shall please your lord, while the other two shall be those without which you cannot do. those which shall be to please your lord, are that you should in great quantity bear witness that there is no diety to except Allah(i.e recite the Kalimah Tayyibah - Laa Ilaaha illallah ) and make much istighfaar (beg Allah's forgiveness with Astagfiruallah). And as for those with which you cannot do, you should beg Allah for entrance into paradise and ask refuge in him from Jahannam (Hell)."
