Tasbih
of Fatima Zehra (sa)
Once
the Prophet's (saw) daughter Fatima Zehra (as) asked
the prophet for a helper. The Prophet(saw) advised
her to recite the following Tasbih which is now known
as Tasbih e Zehra. This Tasbih is usually recited
after each prayer.
However it also has great value for solving the
problems of Rizq, Sustenance, Business, Job etc. The
person should recite the tasbih with the niyat (intention)
of seeking rizq (sustenance), before leaving the house
,before commencing business or before starting work
at office.
34 times Allah o Akbar, 33 times Alhumdolillah
& 33 times Subhanallah
Inshallah rizq problems can be overcome with this.
