Is it permissible to say, as a wird (regular devotional recitation): "Know that there is no god but Allah"?
The remembrance mentioned, "So know that there is no god but Allah," is part of a verse in Surat Muhammad. Repeating the verse for contemplation is permissible, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, spent the night repeating a verse. It is permissible to repeat a single verse in prayer for contemplation, admonition, and supplication, and this indicates the Prophet's diligence in worship. Taking the complete verse as a daily litany has not been authentically reported in the . However, the Sunnah states that taking the testimony of monotheism, "La ilaha illa Allah" (There is no god but Allah), as a litany is encouraged. Whoever says it a hundred times, it is equivalent to freeing ten slaves, one hundred good deeds are written for him, one hundred bad deeds are erased from him, and it serves as a protection from Satan. It is among the best of good deeds.
