Question:
Salaamu alaykum wr wb. Bismillahi Rahmaani Rahiim.
Thank you for answering our questions. May Allah accept you.
I met a Filippino mujahid who visited the Masjid an-Nabi (saw) in the early 90’s. There he met a person of a high spiritual state, who stayed in the masjid around the clock. After few days the person introduced himself as an officer of Mahdi (as). Then he taught the Filippino to repeat “Allahu Akbar Kabiira walhamdulillahi kahtiiran kathiiran kathiira” as often as possible. He told that it is a takbir for the soldiers of Mahdi (as). Is it permissible for us to repeat this takbir and can you tell anything else about its power or the officer in question? Thank you in advance: Salaamu alaykum wr wb.
Answer:
`Alaykum as-Salam,
It is a sunnah takbir which every student of Mawlana Shaykh Nazim may say after every salat.
