A person who says, 'Alhamdullilahi rabbil alamin', utters words which are greater than the whole universe. This is why according to a hadith: الحمد لله تملأ الميزانThat is, "The word 'Alhamdulillah' is so heavy that it fills up the scales." Alhamdulillahi rabbil alamin is a truth greater than the heavens and the earth. But merely rendering lip service is not enough. When one says 'Alhamdulillah' it should be an utterance that subsumes one's entire being, absorbs one's entire personality and includes all of one's emotions. When a person says 'Alhamdulillah', he is, as if, completely emptied and has nothing else left with him. His entire being becomes subsumed in the term 'Alhamdulillahi rabbil alamin'.

Thus, a person becomes an embodiment of Alhamdulillah. In a world where God is not visible, saying 'Alhamdulillah' is so great an occurrence that one becomes a person on whom God takes pride. According to a hadith, "The best servants of God are those who praise God the most." This does not mean that we should utter the phrase 'Alhamdulillah' several times. We are not required to constantly utter 'Alhamdulillah' thousands of times.  This would be an underestimation of 'Alhamdulillah'. God desires that utterance of 'Alhamdulillah' in which our entire being is assimilated.
