In Ayat 46 of Surat Kahfi of the Holy Qur'an (18:46), AllaHU Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says:--
"WEALTH AND CHILDREN ARE THE EMBELLISHMENT OF WORLDLY LIFE, AND THE GOOD THINGS
THAT LAST (al-baqiyat-as-Salihat) ARE GREATER WITH YOUR LORD, AND GREATER IN EXPECTATION."
Material things are short-lived and temporary, but the "good things that last" will remain and endure forever. That is, their reward will continue into the hereafter, and the hereafter is far better and everlasting. What are ''the good things that last''? The Noble Prophet,
told us what they are in the Hadith where one of his companions, Abu Sa'id al-Khudri, may Allah be pleased with him, reported that the Prophet said:--
"Make plenty of the 'good things that last (al-baqiyat Salihat)'. It was said: And what are they,
O Messenger of Allah?" He, said: "TAKBIR (Saying: ALLAHU AKBAR), TAHLIL (Saying:
LA-ILAHA ILLALLAH), TAHMID (Saying: ALHAMDU-LILLAH) and Saying: LA-HAWLA WALA QUWATA
ILLA BILLAH". [Bukhari, Muslim].
Also, the Prophet said: "The most beloved words to Allah are 4: SUBHANALLAH; ALHAMDU-LILLAH; LA-ILAHA ILLALLAH;
ALLAHU AKBAR." [Sahih Muslim].
In view of this, we should include lots of recital of the Baqiyat Salihat in our daily Zikr, when we come to Remember Allah, Azzah Wa Jallah, in the mornings and evenings.
Best Wishes.
