The question

Is what has been reported regarding the secrets and virtues of "Lā ilāha illā Allāh" – concerning its letters being "hollow" (jawfiyyah), its devoidness of diacritical points (nuqat), the number of its letters and their numerical connotations, and the correctness of it being equivalent to 240 good deeds – sound, and is it permissible to disseminate it?

The answer

The origin of encouraging the abundant remembrance of "Lā ilāha illā Allāh" is a good matter because it is among the best forms of remembrance. As for what was mentioned in the forum—that all its letters are guttural and that each letter expiates the sins of an hour—this is incorrect, contains forced interpretation, and is not permissible to disseminate. What has been authentically reported in the Sharia concerning the virtue of this phrase is sufficient.
