# When entering the marketplace

> لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ يُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُ وَهُوَ حَيٌّ لَا يَمُوتُ بِيَدِهِ الْخَيْرُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

## Transliteration

La ilaha illallahu wahdahu la sharika lahu, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu yuhyi wa yumitu wa huwa hayyun la yamutu biyadihil-khayru wa huwa 'ala kulli shay'in qadir

## English meaning

None has the right to be worshipped except Allah, alone, without partner. To Him belongs all sovereignty and praise. He gives life and causes death. He is alive and does not die. In His hand is all good and He is over all things omnipotent.

## When is it recited?

Recited when entering a marketplace or shopping center.

## Its virtue

Allah writes for him 1,000,000 good deeds, erases 1,000,000 sins, and raises his rank by 1,000,000.
