Alhamdulillah — Meaning, Virtues & When to Say It
Alhamdulillah opens the Quran itself — the first words of Surah Al-Fatiha. Hamd is praise mixed with love and gratitude, and the definite article makes it total: all praise, in every form, belongs to Allah.
The Prophet ﷺ said: "Purity is half of faith, and Alhamdulillah fills the scale" (Muslim 223).
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ
Alhamdulillah
All praise be to God
Virtue and Source
Gratitude and praise to Allah
When to Recite It
Say Alhamdulillah upon waking, after sneezing, after eating and drinking, when receiving good news, and 33 times after every prayer. The Prophet ﷺ taught that Allah is pleased with the servant who praises Him after every bite and every sip (Muslim 2734).
