From the benefits of Tawheed and al-Istighfaar:
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said:
❝The best remembrance is: لا اله الا الله (Laa ilaaha illallaah) and the best supplication is: الحمد لله (al-Hamdulillaah).❞
[Sunan al-Tirmidhee (3383) and Sunan Ibn Maajah (3800) from the Hadeeth of Jaabir رضي الله عنه and graded as “Hasan” by Shaikh al-Albaanee]
Shaikh al-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله said:
❝For Tawheed removes the essence of Shirk and al-Istighfaar erases its branches. Therefore the most lofty and concise Praise is saying: لا اله الا الله (Laa ilaaha illallaah) and the most concise duaa is saying: أستغفر الله (astaghfiru-llaah).❞
[Majmoo al-Fataawa (11/697)]
