Ask The Imam Question and Answer

683 Why do we pray Subhaan-ALLAH x33, Alhumdulillah x33 and Allahuaqbar x34?
We perform this practice on the basis of the actions and teachings of the Prophet (S.A.W).

Hazrat Kaa’b ibn Ujra (R.A) reports that the Prophet (S.A.W) said, ‘there is a practice done after every compulsory Salah which does not result in failure for the one who does it or says it; thirty-three Subhan Allah, thirty-three al-Hamdu Lillah and thirty-four Allahu Akbar. (Sahih Muslim, Hadith no. 937)

In a similar report, the Prophet (S.A.W) has said recite Subhan Allah, al-Hamdu Lillah and Allahu Akbar thirty three times (to make 99) and then complete the hundredth by reciting ‘La Illaha Illallahu Wahdahu La Sharikalahu La-hu al-Mulku wa la-hu al-Hamdu wa huwa alaa Kulle Shai’in Qadir’. (Sahih Muslim, Hadith no. 939)
