LessonsSelf-Control, Good Character, and the Incomplete Verb Laysa (Hadith 177–187)Quiz

لَيْسَ شَيْءٌ أَكْرَمَ عَلَى اللَّهِ مِنَ الدُّعَاءِ
Nothing is more honored before Allah than supplication.

Source: الترمذي

لَيْسَ شَيْءٌ means “there is nothing”; أَكْرَمَ is a comparative/superlative form meaning “more honored,” and مِنَ الدُّعَاءِ gives the comparison “than supplication.” Together the phrase strongly emphasizes the dignity of turning to Allah in prayer.

Supplication expresses need, humility, and hope before Allah. A person also makes appropriate efforts; reliance on prayer does not justify abandoning responsibilities, medical attention, or other reasonable means. The narration reminds learners that practical action and sincere dependence on Allah can accompany one another.
