There are 1440 minutes in a day, which means if taken to fraction, 1 minute is just 1/1440 of one day. But have you ever pondered on what you can do in 1 minute. That you can actually earn a lot of rewards with that minute you call just. Let us see some of the things that you can do with it as presented by Sheikh Muhammad Salih AI-Munajjid.
1. In one minute you can recite Soorat al- , Faatihah 3 times, reciting rapidly and silently. Some scholars said that the reward for reading al-Faatihah is more than 600 hasanahs, so if you read it 3 times you will, by the permission of Allaah, gain more than 1800 hasanahs all of that in one minute.
2. In one minute you can recite Soorat al- Ikhlaas (QuI Huwa Allaahu Ahad) 20 times, reciting rapidly and silently. Reciting it once is equivalent to one-third of the Quraan. If you read it 20 times it is equivalent to reading the Quraan 7 times. If you read it 20 times in one minute each day, you will have read it 600 times in one month, and 7200 times in one year, which will be equal in reward to reading the Quraan 2400 times.
3. You can read one page of the Book of Allaah in one minute.
4. You can memorize a short aayah of the Book of Allaah in one minute.
5. In one minute you can say Laa ilaaha iIl-Allaah wahdahu laa shareeka lah, lahul-mulk wa lahulhamd wa huwa ala kulli shayin qadeer (There is no god except Allaah alone with no partner; to Him be dominion and praise, and He is Able to do all things) 20 times. The reward for saying this is like freeing 8 slaves for the sake of Allaah from among the sons of lsmaaeel.
