Upon entering the marketplace

Hadith: Tirmidhi 3428, Ibn Majah 3860

لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللّٰهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيْكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ، وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ، يُحْيِيْ وَيُمِيْتُ، وَهُوَ حَيٌّ لاَ يَمُوْتُ، بِيَدِهِ الْخَيْرُ، وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ

Transliteration

La ilaha illallahu wahdahu la sharika lah, lahul mulku wa lahul hamdu, yuhyi wa yumitu, wa huwa hayyul la yamut, biyadihil khayru, wa huwa ala kulli shay-in qadir.

English Meaning

There is no god worthy of worship but Allah alone, with no partner. His is all sovereignty and to Him belongs all praise. He gives life and causes death. He is Ever-Living and never dies. In His hand is all good and He is able to do all things.

বাংলা অর্থ

আল্লাহ ছাড়া কোনো মাবুদ নেই, তিনি এক, তার কোনো অংশীদার নেই। সকল ক্ষমতা ও প্রশংসা তাঁরই, তিনিই জীবন ও মৃত্যু দেন, তিনি চিরঞ্জীব, কখনো মারা যাবেন না। তাঁর হাতেই মঙ্গল এবং তিনিই সকল কিছুর ওপর ক্ষমতাশালী।

Significance & Context

The marketplace is traditionally viewed as a nexus of distraction and spiritual amnesia. Actively invoking the Divine in such a contested space yields disproportionately high spiritual merit. Reciting this formula anchors the believer against the overwhelming pull of aggressive consumerism.
