The question

Is it possible for the ذكر (remembrance) of "Alhamdulillah (Praise be to Allah)" to fill the Mizan (Scale) more than once, and is it better than other forms of ذكر or supererogatory prayers (salat al-nafilah) in the absence of خشوع (devotional humility)? And does saying "Subhan Allah wa bihamdihi adada khalqihi (Glory be to Allah and with His praise, as many times as the number of His creation)" equate to saying "Subhan Allah (Glory be to Allah)" as many times as the number of Allah's creation?

The answer

It has been stated regarding the virtue of "Alhamdulillah" (Praise be to Allah) that it fills the Scale, and that it is the best of supplications, and is considered among the best of words along with Tasbeeh (Subhanallah - Glory be to Allah), Takbeer (Allahu Akbar - Allah is the Greatest), and Tahleel (La Ilaha Illa Allah - There is no god but Allah). One should pay attention to all forms of remembrance (dhikr) and follow the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, in caring for them. Prayer (Salat) is the best of deeds and the most beloved to Allah. And the remembrance "Subhanallahi wa bihamdihi adada khalqihi" (Glory be to Allah and with His praise, as many as His creation) is rewarded with a great recompense.
