Ask The Imam Question and Answer

506 Why do we read Laa ilaa ha illallahu and asalaatu wasalaam after Namaz; what is the purpose of this?
In a Hadith Shareef Hazret Ibn-e-Abbas (R.A), States that he use to hear aloud “Allah Hu Akbar” (God Is Great) from Rasoolallah (S.A.W) when He entered the Masjid and that indicated that Salah (Prayer) has ended.

In another narration Hazret Ibn-e-Abbas (R.A) Says “Aloud Zikr” was a normal practice after prayer in the time of Rasoolallah (S.A.W).

Allama Askilani (R.A), found this to be daleel (evidence) for load Zikr after Prayer whether it is Kalima Shareef or Darood Shareef. Allama Shamee (R.A) further states it is Ijma (Consensus) of Scholars on load Zikr being a Mustahab (recommended) Amal (action) as long as it does not disturb other people present from their sleep, Qiraat, or Salah.

Loud Zikr increases the spiritual well being of an individual, Rasoolallah (S.A.W) had said that the heart gets corroded and Zikr takes that corrosion away. May Allah (S.W.T) help us all take away the corrosion of our hearts. Ameen.

Ja Al Haq by Mufti Ahmed Yar Khan Naeemi Book of “Zikr bil Jyar” is a detailed analysis of this issue for further evidences and reading.
