: Ya Rabbana Lakal Hamd! (Oh Allah, Thanks and gratitude be to You!)]

[Dina]

We all know that everything is written and recorded for us in our books. The

angles write everything we say. Well, when a servant of Allah(swt) says the
following duaa:

ياربنا لك الحمد كما
ينبغى لجلال وجهك و لعظيم سلطانك

Ya Rabbana, lakal hamdu, Kama Yambaghy, Lijalali Wajhika Wa Aztheemi
Sultanik.

Oh Allah, Thanks and gratitude be to You, as much as your magnificence and
great authority ought to deserve.

The angels are stumped as to what to write. Why do the angels not know how
to write this?

When we say this duaa, and it can be seen from the translation, it is
unquantifiable the amount we are thanking Allah (swt), because it is as much
as He (swt) ought to deserve, and a number or scale cannot be attached to
this. So what do the angels do?

They go up to Allah (swt) and tell Allah(swt), a servant of Yours has
something we do not know how to write. Allah(swt) of course knows what we
have said, but nonetheless asks the angels what we said. The angels tell
Him(swt) the duaa. Allah(swt) then tells the angels to record it exactly as
the servant has said and Allah(swt) will reward us when He(swt) meets us on
the Day of Judgement.

Isn't this wonderful to hear? Something as simple as saying this duaa,
saying it from our hearts will give us a reward that Allah(swt) will grant
us on the Day of Judgement. Imagine that, Allah(swt) will reward us when we
see Him(swt) for this small dua that has great meaning! This just shows how
wonderful and rewarding this duaa is, and that Allah(swt) is saving our
reward for when we meet Him(swt).

Just thought I'd share... Let's all try to memorize this and start saying it
daily. Instead of just saying Alhamdulilah (thanking Allah (swt) once) let
us say "Oh Allah, Thanks and gratitude be to You, as  much as your
magnificence and great authority ought to deserve."
