Rasullallah (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) said, "There is nobody who may recite 'La Ilaha Illallah' and the doors of the Heavens do not get opened to allow this Kalimah to reach the Arshi Ilaahi (Allah's throne), provided he abstains from the major sins."

Hadhrat Shaddaad (Radhiyallaho anho) relates, while Hadhrat Ubaadah (Radhiyallaho anho) confirms that once we were sitting with Rasulullah (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) and he asked if there was any stranger (non-Muslim) in the gathering. We submitted that there was none. He then had the door closed and asked us to raise our hands and recite 'La Ilaha Illallah'. We raised our hands for some time and recited the Kalimah. He then exclaimed 'La Ilaha Illallah' and said : "O Allah ! you have sent me with this Kalimah. You have promised paradise for those who profess it, and Your promise never remains unfulfulled." Then he turned to us and said : "Be happy, Allah has blessed you with His forgiveness." Rasulullah (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) had made sure that no stranger was present there, and he had got the door closed, because presumably he had every hope that those particular people would be forgiven by virtue of reciting the Kalimah, and he had no such hope in respect of non-believers."

Rasulullah (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) said : "Keep on renewing your Imaan." "O Rasulullah ! Sallallaho alaihe wasallam ! How should we renew our Imaan ?" enquired the Sahabah. "Recite 'La Ilaha Illallah' very often." was the reply.

Rasulullah (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) said, "Recite 'La Ilaha Illallah' very often, before the time of death comes when you will not able to say it."

Rasulullah (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) said, "I know of a Kalimah, such that if anybody recites it with sincerity of belief in it and then dies. Hell becomes forbidden for him. This Kalimah is 'La Ilaha Illallah".

***

Rasulullah (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) said "Professing faith in 'La Ilaha Illallah' provides the keys to Paradise."

***

Rasulullah (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) said, "Whosoever recites 'La Ilaha Illallah' any time during day or night, his sins are remitted from his account and virtues are written instead."

***

Rasulullah (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) said, "Ther is a pillar of Noor (Divine Light) in fornt of the Arshi Ilaahi (the Throne of Allah). When somebody recites 'La Ilaha Illallah' this pillar starts shaking. When Allah asks it to srop shaking, it says, 'How can I stop, when the reciter of the Kalimah has not yet been granted forgiveness ?' Thereupon Allah says : "Well, I have forgiven him', and then that the pillar stops shaking."
