Enduring Advice for Women


From the Counsel of Shaykh Muḥammad ibn Ṣāliḥ al-ʿUthaymīn (رحمه الله)

I encourage women to frequently recite the Qur’an, engage in dhikr (the remembrance of Allah), glorify Allah (Subḥānallāh), praise Him (Al-ḥamdu lillāh), and seek His forgiveness (Astaghfirullāh).

I also advise them to consistently repeat the following words:

سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ، سُبْحَانَ اللهِ الْعَظِيم
Subḥānallāhi wa biḥamdihī, Subḥānallāhil-ʿAẓīm

“Glory be to Allah and praise be to Him; Glory be to Allah, the Most Great.”

For the Prophet ﷺ said:

قال رسول الله ﷺ:
كلمتان خفيفتان على اللسان، ثقيلتان في الميزان، حبيبتان إلى الرحمن:
سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ، سُبْحَانَ اللهِ الْعَظِيم

“Two words are light on the tongue, heavy on the Scale, and beloved to the Most Merciful:
Subḥānallāhi wa biḥamdihī, Subḥānallāhil-ʿAẓīm.”

(Agreed upon)

I ask Allah to grant us steadfastness in His obedience and to keep us away from that which incurs His wrath.

Aameen!
