2. Commands Allah (SWT) has commanded mankind to perform various acts  Prayer  Fasting  Zakat  Hajj

3. Commands Allah (SWT) Himself does not do any of these acts/commands  He does not pray  He does not fast  He does not need to do of these – He is Allah (SWT), the Creator of everything

4. Command However, there is one act that He tells mankind to do that He Himself also does. Can you imagine how important that act must be if Allah Himself does it.

5. Command In fact, before Allah (SWT) commands mankind to this act, Allah (SWT) says he does it first and then tells mankind to do it. Not only does Allah (SWT) do this act, but all the angels to it as well.

6. Command So Allah (SWT) says He does this act, His angels do this act, then He commands the believers to do this act. What is this act?

13. Hadith The Prophet (SAW) was climbing the member and took one step and then said “Ameen”. He took a second step and said “Ameen”. He took a third step and said “Ameen”. The companions asked him why he said Ameen three times.
