Saying Tahmid (الحمد لله) is an important aspect of worship and gratitude.
To engage in tahmid x 33 times, you simply repeat the phrase "الحمد لله" (alhamdulillah), which translates to "Praise be to Allah," 33 times. This can be done in various forms of worship or throughout the day as part of a personal spiritual practice. By doing so, you express gratitude and praise to Allah for His blessings and mercies.
When the number of tahmid is full, continue Dhikr with the following recitations:
"Alhamdulillahi Rabbil ‘Aalamin ‘Alaa Kulli Haalin’ Wafii Kulli Haalin’ Wani’matin"
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ وَفِي كُلِّ حَالٍ وَنِعْمَةٍ
This phrase means "Praise be to Allah, the Lord of all worlds, in every condition, and for every blessing." It's an expression of gratitude and praise to Allah for His continuous blessings and for His care in all circumstances.
To engage in Takbir (تَكْبِير), which is the act of saying "Allahu Akbar" (الله أكبر), you repeat the phrase "الله أكبر" 33 times. This phrase means "Allah is the Greatest." It is a form of worship and remembrance (dhikr) of Allah, acknowledging His greatness and supremacy over all things.
You can start the Takbir session by focusing your heart and mind on the greatness of Allah and then begin saying "Allahu Akbar" 33 times. This practice is often done in conjunction with other forms of dhikr such as tahmid (الحمد لله - "Alhamdulillah") and tasbih (سُبْحَانَ اللهِ - "Subhanallah"), to form the traditional phrase sequence known as tasbih of Fatimah (Tasbih Fatimiyah) as taught by Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
For example, you may choose to perform the following sequence:
- Say "Subhanallah" (سُبْحَانَ اللهِ) 33 times.
- Say "Alhamdulillah" (الحمد لله) 33 times.
- Say "Allahu Akbar" (الله أكبر) 33 times.
This sequence of praise is often done after each of the five daily prayers or can be practiced at other times throughout the day as a form of dhikr.
