Allaahumma 'Anta Rabbee laa 'ilaaha 'illaa 'Anta, khalaqtanee wa 'anaa 'abduka, wa 'anaa 'alaa 'ahdika wa wa'dika mas-tata'tu, 'a'oothu bika min sharri maa sana'tu, 'aboo'u laka bini'matika 'alayya, wa 'aboo'u bithanbee faghfir lee fa'innahu laa yaghfiruth-thunooba 'illaa 'Anta.

[ O Allah, You are my Lord, there is none worthy of worship but You. You created me and I am your slave. I keep Your covenant, and my pledge to You so far as I am able. I seek refuge in You from the evil of what I have done. I admit to Your blessings upon me, and I admit to my misdeeds. Forgive me, for there is none who may forgive sins but You.]

The Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wa sallam) added: "If somebody recites it during the day with firm faith in it, and dies on the same day before the evening, he will be from the people of Paradise; and if somebody recites it at night with firm faith in it, and dies before the morning, he will be from the people of Paradise."

Do you want to grow plants in Paradise (Jannah) now!

Ibn Mas`ud (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said:

"I met Ibrahim (PBUH) on the Night of Ascension (Al-Asra),

and he said to me:

`O Muhammad, convey my greetings to your Ummah, and tell them that Jannah has a vast plain of pure soil and sweet water. It is a plain levelled land. The plants grow there by uttering:

سُبْحَانَ اللهِ، وَالْحَمْدُ للهِ، 

 وَ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللهُ وَاللهُ أَكْبَُر

Subhan-Allah,  Al-hamdu lillah,

La ilaha illallah  and Allahu Akbar

(Allah is free from imperfection; praise be to Allah;

there is no true God except Allah; and Allah is Greatest).''

[At-Tirmidhi]


Commentary:
Qi`an  is the plural of Qa` which means plain levelled land that does not have any tree. Trees grow on the plain land of Jannah in return for remembrance and Glorification of Allah. The more one remembers Allah, the greater is the number of trees which grow on the piece of land that will be awarded to him

Allah SWT the Most Gracious and the Most Merciful

Narrated Abu Huraira (Radhiallahu anhu) :

Allah's Messenger (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said, "Allah has some angels who look for those who celebrate the Praises of Allah on the roads and paths. And when they find some people celebrating the Praises of Allah, they call each other, saying, "Come to the object of your pursuit."

He (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) added, "Then the angels encircle them with their wings up to the sky of the world."

He (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) added, "(after those people celebrated the Praises of Allah, and the angels go back), their Lord, asks them (those angels) ----though He knows better than them---- 'What do My slaves say?' The angels reply, 'They say: Subhan Allah, Allahu Akbar, and Alham-du-lillah, Allah then says 'Did they see Me?' The angels reply, 'No! By Allah, they didn't see You.'

Allah says, how it would have been if they saw Me?' The angels reply, 'If they saw You, they would worship You more devoutly and celebrate Your Glory more deeply, and declare Your freedom from any resemblance to anything more often.'

Allah says (to the angels), 'What do they ask Me for?' The angels reply, 'They ask You for Paradise.' Allah says (to the angels), 'Did they see it?' The angels say, 'No! By Allah, O Lord! They did not see it.' Allah says, How it would have been if they saw it?' The angels say, 'If they saw it, they would have greater covetousness for it and would seek it with greater zeal and would have greater desire for it.'

Allah says, 'From what do they seek refuge?' The angels reply, 'They seek refuge from the (Hell) Fire.' Allah says, 'Did they see it?' The angels say, 'No By Allah, O Lord! They did not see it.' Allah says, How it would have been if they saw it?' The angels say, 'If they saw it they would flee from it with the extreme fleeing and would have extreme fear from it.'

Then Allah says, 'I make you witnesses that I have forgiven them.'

Allah's Messenger (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) added, "One of the angels would say, 'There was so-and-so amongst them, and he was not one of them, but he had just come for some need.' Allah would say, 'These are those people whose companions will not be reduced to misery.' "

What Deeds Admit You in Paradise (Jannah)

An-Nawawi’s Hadith No.29

On the authority of Mu’adh ibn Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) who said:

I said: O Messenger of Allah, tell me of an act which will take me into the Paradise and will keep me away from the Hell-fire.

He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: You have asked me about a major matter, yet it is easy for him for whom Allah the Exalted makes it easy. You should worship Allah, associating nothing with Him; you should perform the prayers; you should pay the zakat; you should fast in Ramdan; and you should make the pilgrimage to the House.

Then he (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Shall I not show you the gates of goodness? Fasting (which) is a shield; charity extinguishes sin as water extinguishes fire; and the praying of a man in the depths of night.

Then he (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) recited: Their sides forsake their beds invoking their Rubb (the Lord) in fear and hope and they spend out of what we have bestowed on them. No person knows what is kept hidden for them of joy as a reward for what they used to do. [as-Sajdah, 16-17]

Then he (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Shall I not tell you of the peak of the matter, its pillar, and its topmost part?

I said: Yes, O Messenger of Allah.

He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: The peak of the matter is Islam; the pillar is the prayer; and its topmost part is jihad.

Then he (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Shall I not tell you of the controlling of all that?

I said: Yes, O Messenger of Allah.

And he took hold of his tongue and said, “Restrain this.”

I said: O Prophet of Allah, will what we say be held against us?

He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: May your mother be bereaved of you, O Mu’adh! Is there anything that topples people on their faces — or he said on their noses — into Hell-fire other than the harvests of their tongues?

It was related by at-Tirmidhi, who stated that as a Hasan (fair) and Sahih (sound) Hadith.
