Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said,

The uttering of the words: “Subhan-Allah 

Al-hamdu lillah

La ilaha illallah

and Allahu Akbar

is dearer to me than anything over which the sun rises.”

[Muslim].

This Hadith hightlights the fact that the formulas which mention the Praise and Glory of Allah,

His Majesty and Oneness are liked by the

Prophet (PBUH) more than anything in the world,

because this is one of the virtues which will survive

and will be rewarded, while the world and all that it has will perish.

Firstly Subhan-Allah doesont mean something like thanking Allah(which is a misconception amongst many kid Indians) neither does it mean something like praising Allah for his creations;though it is surely used to praise the LOrds creation Subhan Allah means that Allah Is Free From Imperfection.

Alhamdulilah means that All Praise Is Due To Allah like many of us already know.There are kids from some madarassas whp actually dont know the meaning of Alhamdulilah!! Alhamdulilah is usually used for answering a question like how are you?or how is your family?

Laailaha Illalah means that there is no deity except Allah.The Kalma and the  Azaan are the best examples of it’s usage.

Allahu Akbar is again a word never misunderstood. Allah Is Great is what it means.The Azaan and the Salaat are the best examples.
