Re: Do you know the meaning of
The meaning of La hawla wala quwwata illa billah
By Imam Abdullah Ibn ‘Alawi Al-Haddad
(Original Source: http://www.alhaddad.org/blog/?p=2300)
Bismillah.
You should know that the most comprehensive and inclusive formula for expressing the repudiation of one’s own claim to power and ability is La hawla wala quwawata illa billah (there is neither power nor ability save by God).
The Proof of Islam (Imam al-Ghazali), may God be pleased with him, said: “Power (hawl) is motion and ability (quwwa) is aptitude.”
No creature possesses either ability or power over anything save through God, Who is Able and Capable. It is incumbent upon believers to have faith in whatever God permits them to do or abstain from – as for instance, in conforming to an injunction, whether by acting or abstaining, or in seeking their provision by resorting to action in the form of crafts and professions, and so on – it is God the exalted Who creates and originates their intentions, abilities and movements, and that the acts they choose to perform will be attributed to them in the manner known as ‘acquisition’ (kasb) and ‘working’, and shall be, in consequence, liable to reward and punishment; but that they exercise volition only when God Himself does so, and can neither do nor abstain from anything unless He renders them able to. They possess not a single atom’s weight of the heaven or the earth, nor do they attain to any partnership in its governance, or become supports to Him.
It is on the ability and power to make choices, which God has granted to His servants, that commands and prohibitions are based. Things which are done intentionally and by choice are attributed to them, and they are rewarded and punished accordingly.
Hence the meaning of la hawla wala quwwata illa billah is the denial of one’s possession of autonomous power and ability, and the simultaneous confession of the existence of that (relative) power and ability to make choices that He has given His servants to be their own.
He who claims that man has no choice or ability, that the acts he selects are identical with the acts he is compelled to do, and that he is in all circumstances coerced is a deterministic (jabri) innovator whose false claim would deny that there was any purpose in sending Messengers and revealing Scriptures. By contrast, he who claims that man possesses the will and power to do whatever he does by choice is a Mu’tazili innovator. But he who believes that a responsible (mukallaf) man possess power and choice to allow him to comply with God’s commands and prohibitions, but is neither independent thereby nor the creator of his own acts, has found the Sunna, joined the majoritarian community, and become safe from reprehensible innovation. There is a lengthy explanation to this, which follows a rugged road where many have slipped and gone astray; and beyond it is the secret of Destiny, which has always perplexed intelligent minds and into which the Master of Messengers has commanded us not to delve. So let the intelligent be content with hints and let it suffice them to believe that everything was created by God, and nothing exists without His will and power. Then let them require their selves to conform to the commandments and prohibitions, and take their Lord’s side against their selves in every circumstance. A hadith says that is one of the treasures of the Garden.’ Understand the indication contained in terming it a ‘treasure’ and you will know that its meaning is among the mysteries; for reward is of the same species as the act. The Prophet s.a.w has also said ‘Two raka’ats in the depths of the night are one of the treasures of goodness.’ Their reward comprises a hidden treasure because the time of their occurence, namely the night implies this.
It is also reported that** ‘La hawla wala quwwata illa billah is a remedy for 99 ailments, the least of which is sorrow.’** It is a remedy for sorrow because grief mostly occurs when one misses something one loves, or when a distressful thing occurs; and whenever either of these things occurs people perceive their helplessness and inability to achieve their desired aims; hence they feel sorrow. If at such times they repeat in their heart and with their tongues words which mean that they disavow the possession of any ability or power of their own, then this gives them certitude in their knowledge that they are helpless and weak except where God gives them power and ability, with the result that their sorrow is banished, and their knowledge of their Lord is increased. This can be clearly understood from the Prophet’s s.a.w saying: ‘When one believes in destiny, one’s sorrow departs.’ And in attributing ability and power to His Name, Allah, which is the axis of the Names and the most supreme of them, and in following it on most occasions with the two noble Names which indicate two of the attributes of the Holy Essence, namely those of Exaltation (Al-’Ali) and Magnitude (Al-’Azim), lies a sign that He totally transcends and is absolutely holier than the illusions of those who have strayed from the path, are blind to the evidence, and have delved without insight into the secret of destiny and the acts of God’s creatures. So take heed!

In other words:**
LA HAWLA WA LA QUWWATA ILLA BILLAH
The meaning of this expression is: " There is no power and no strength save in Allah." This expression is read by a Muslim when he is struck by a calamity, or is taken over by a situation beyond his control. A Muslim puts his trust in the hands of Allah, and submits himself to Allah.
Re: Do you know the meaning of
Thankyou for answering. Sorry my mind was away so replying late.
If there is some member who knows Arabic grammar / diction then correct me. Here is literal meaning of this sentence according to my understanding.
*La Hola *
No circle
Wala Qowata
And no power
Illa Billa hil aleyul Azeem
Beyond the realm of Almighty Allah, The greatest.
Am I right or wrong ?
Re: Do you know the meaning of
The magnificent phrase lâ hawla wa lâ quwwata illâ bi Allâh is mentioned numerous times in the hadith (sayings of Muhammad) as being highly regarded and highly recommended by the Prophet Muhammad. The phrase is a part of daily prayers for many Muslims, and is a common phrase in ceremony and dhikr. It is not uncommon to find the phrase lâ hawla wa lâ quwwata illâ bi Allâh translated simply as there is no power or strength except through Allâh. However that translation fails to capture the grandeur and deeper significance of this magnificent phrase. Translating the word hawla simply as power is an over-simplification. The Arabic root h-w-l depicts all manner of change and transformation. The root h-w-l has led to a wide variety of words, but they all share this common thread of change and transformation. Certainly it is true that transformation and change require power, but power alone is not an adequate translation.... change and transformation are the keys to this magnificent phrase. The phrase may be translated word-by-word as: lâ = no, not, none, neither hawla = change, alteration, transformation, movement, motion wa = and lâ = no, not, none, neither quwwata = strength, power, potency, force, might, vigor illâ = but, except, if not bi = with, to, for, in, through, by means of Allâh = Arabic name for the Supreme Being Progress is only achieved through change and transformation... and spiritual progress requires the highest degree of change and transformation. We may wish to change, but we alone do not have the power to make such changes. Such change and transformation can only occur through the tahwîl (transformation) of Allâh. That is to say, true change and transformation can arise only through the awesome and glorious powers of Allâh. Here are some literal translations of the phrase lâ hawla wa lâ quwwata illâ billâh that incorporate the idea of change and transformation: There is neither change nor power except by means of Allâh. There is no transformation or strength except through Allâh. There is neither progress nor might except through Allâh.

Re: Do you know the meaning of

Nearly … literal translation is …
La hola wa la quwwata illa bi-llahi (a)l-aliyi (a)l-'azeem ------(a) silent
It is not 'aliyul … but rather it is 'aliyyil … this is the rule in Arabic.
No transition and no power except with Allah, The High, The Mighty
In Newton’s First law of motion: Every body remains in a state of constant velocity unless acted upon by
an external unbalanced force. This means that in the absence of a non-zero net force, the center of mass
of a body either remains at rest, or moves at a constant velocity.
It is interesting that physists acknowledge that things just don’t happen. Things that are happening are
not random events. In Newton’s First Law - he arrives at the conclusion that things will either not move at all
or they will not change their line of motion unless a “force” is acting on them.
The equative sentence in Arabic also shows this … in the term La Hola … However Newton stops at force
being responsible for changing the state of something he does not explain where that force comes from.
The Arabic statement says … La hola … and then Wa La Quwwata … meaning not only will nothing occur without
power behind it, but power would not itself exist and the object itself will not exist … then illa BiAllah
… except when Allah ordains it so.
So by meaning this statement is:
There can be no event that take place (without power) and in turn no power can be present, except when Allah (SWT)
provides for these to come about, since it is HE who is The High (Al-Aliyy) (abstracted from transitional events)
it is HE who is The Mighty (Al-'Azeem) (The Source of Power).
Therefore … in terms of reflection … we should console our fears and worries in this knowledge that Allah (SWT)
disposes the affairs we see, they cannot happen by chance and are not out of control and if we should fear or hold
in awe anything it should be Him and not in what results from His Power.
Re: Do you know the meaning of
Thankyou shabetanhai & psyah for explanations.
I have few questions :
This phrase is not taken from quran ? right ?
Do you know any verse in quran which has similar context / words as used in this sentence ? Like Hawla , Qowat. Please share with reference
Grammatically these two main attributes used in this arabic sentence / phrase (hawla , qowata) are mutually exclusive or interdependent ?
It would be more complex but please bear it. Here we know very famous Kalma
La Ilaha *Il Lallah *
We all know the meaning
Now it the phrase under discussion is altered like
La hawla wala Qowata Il lallah
What will be the change in its meaning ?
This question is just for understanding grammar.
Re: Do you know the meaning of
Peace Code_Red
When you said Circle for hola - you were quite close to the meaning of the word ... in the Qur'an this word appears many times and it can take the meaning of "whole" or "entire", "encompassing", "together" ... lexically it also takes the meanings of transition, growth and change ... as a combination of these two we can understand it to mean ... "the brigning about of something or the bringing together of something" ... Quwwat lexically means to sustain, to nourish and infers power to do so.
Quwwat and Hola - are like - Cause and Effect - but these English words miss the meaning of the protection in the word Quwwat and the meaning of encircling present in the word Hola.
You wrote: "La hawla wala Qowata Il lallah"
This is a nonesensical statement ... In Arabic the word illa - means except. And that what is in exception is equal to the thing being stated. As such to say "No apples except these ones" ... it would be nonsensical however to say "we have no apples except oranges".
So hawla and quwwa are properties of possession. To say the above statement means that Allah (SWT) is being equated with created properties. When we say la **ilaha il Allah ... **we are saying "No Deity except Allah" as you can see Deity is in equation with Allah.
illa billah means except with Allah ... so the equation of hawla and quwwa are that nothing has these properties except Allah.
