Remembrance of God
Hamd is a word to be recited by every Muslim in order for him/her to keep Allah in mind. For example, when a Muslim sneezes, first thing they should say is HamdAllah praising God in every small or large situation. It is believed when a person sneezes, his or her soul is taken out for milliseconds and returned, therefore thanking Allah for returning the soul is a blessing. Muslims should always praise God no matter what state they are in. Hamd is always true and implies admiration, love and magnifying the creator. Hamd is sincere and true praise therefore when praising Allah most deserving; called Mahmood which comes from the word Hamd. When Muslims say AlHamdAllah, it is out of love, humility and complete submission to the oneness and perfection of Allah.[5]
