As far as my knowledge is concerned, I have not seen any authenticated Hadith references to know the benefits of reciting Ahad Nama in Islam. There are so many texts I have found over the internet regarding the recitation of Ahad Nama and to get benefits through it.

Benefits of Reciting Ahad Nama

As far as my knowledge is concerned, I have not seen any authenticated Hadith references to know the benefits of reciting Ahad Nama in Islam. There are so many texts I have found over the internet regarding the recitation of Ahad Nama and to get benefits through it. Whereas, no genuine and authenticated references have been cited to confirm its truth. Though, if you recite this with the aim of praising ALLAH Subhanahu Wata ‘Ala, ALLAH will surely listen to your urge.

English Translation of A’had Namah

Promise to ALLAH

In the Name of ALLAH, The Beneficent, The Merciful

O ALLAH! The Creator of the skies and the earth
The Knower of the hidden and the open
YOU are The Beneficent, The Merciful

O ALLAH! I promise you in this earthly life
and I bear witness that
there is no one worthy of worship except YOU
YOU are One and Only without any partner
and I bear witness that
Sayyidina Hazrat Mu’hammad SallALLAHU Alayhe Wa Sallam is Your servant and YOUR Messenger

(O ALLAH!) Please do not leave me to my own self
Because if YOU abandon me to my own desires
I might be drawn towards evil and away from goodness
and I have no support except YOUR Mercy

So accept my promise with YOU
to be kept till the Day of Judgement
Truly, YOU never break a promise

And may the Blessings of ALLAH, The Exalted
be on HIS best creation
Sayyidina Hazrat Mu’hammad SallALLAHU Alayhe Wa Sallam and on his family and all companions

(O ALLAH! Accept this prayer)
With YOUR Mercy, O The Most Merciful of those who show mercy.

What is Dua/دُعَاء‎

د ع ا ء

It is Dal, A’yn, Alif and Hamza.

All ALLAH wants is for us to acknowledge that HE is Daiem (Dal) The One WHO will exist forever.

HE created us from Alaq (Ayn) from a clot.

We have to Iqra (Alif) Read in the Name of our Rabb, praise HIM and pray to HIM.

Hamza is for AlayhisSalaam, which is mentioned after the name of every Messenger of ALLAH, like Hazrat Adam AlaihisSalaam, Hazrat Nuh AlaihisSalaam, Hazrat Ibraheem AlaihisSalaam, Hazrat Musa AlaihisSalaam, Hazrat Isa AlaihisSalaam.
ALLAH Ta’ala has accepted their prayers which were not in Arabic!

Therefore, Dua is any praise of ALLAH in any language, it is accepted by ALLAH. Dua is not necessarily an Ayat from the Quran, it is a praise and acknowledgement that ALLAH is our Rabb and we ask HIM in the best way we know how, so that HE may answer our prayers.
As ALLAH’s Rasool, Sayyidina Mu’hammad SallALLAHU Alayhe Wa Sallam Himself said:
“O ALLAH, I seek refuge in YOU for YOUR Pleasure and against YOUR Wrath, and in YOUR Forgiveness and against YOUR Punishment and in YOU from YOU, I cannot Praise YOU as YOU can Praise YOURSELF.”

(Muslim, Abu Dawood, at-Tirmidhi, ibn Majah)

Even with the Arabic language, ALLAH’s Rasool SallALLAHU Alayhe Wa Sallam said: “I cannot Praise YOU as YOU can Praise YOURSELF.”
From the above it should be clear, that there is no need for authenticity in Dua. Dua is any PRAISE of ALLAH, likewise Durood Shareef is sending Blessings/Salaam on Sayyidina Mu’hammad SallALLAHU Alayhe Wa Sallam.
If we truly ask ALLAH for our needs in any language by PRAISING HIM, insha ALLAH, ALLAH will accept our Dua.

Only ALLAH Knows Best – WALLAHU Alim.

Regarding The Benefits of A’had Namah

My dear brothers, sisters and elders. I didn’t find any authentic Hadith about getting the benefits from A’had Namah. You can admire, pray and ask ALLAH Subhanahu Wata A’la in any way you want. A’had Namah is praising ALLAH Subhanahu Wata A’la.

Reciting A’had Namah while believing in a particular way will benefit you is unauthenticated. Like- if you recite it after isha salaat for any specific purpose, authencity of this has been found nowhere. Believing and reciting in specific number, say, if you recite this daily your sins will be forgiven- is unauthenticated Hadith.

Instead of this you can praise through reciting it as many times as you want to ask ALLAH Subhanahu Wata A’la to forgive your sins.

Please go through the following Hadith from Bukhari Shareef.

Vol 1, Book 3. Knowledge. Hadith 106. 
Narrated By ‘Ali: The Prophet said, “Do not tell a LIE AGAINST me for whoever tells a LIE AGAINST me then he will surely enter the Hell-fire.”

Vol 1, Book 3. Knowledge. Hadith 107. 
Narrated By ‘Abdullah bin Az-Zubair: I said to my father, ‘I do not hear from you any narration (Hadith) of ALLAH’s Apostle as I hear (His narrations) from so and so?” Az-Zubair replied. l was always with Him (The Prophet) and I heard Him saying “Whoever tells a LIE AGAINST me then (surely) let him occupy, his seat in Hell-fire.

Vol 1, Book 3. Knowledge. Hadith 108. 
Narrated By Anas: The fact which stops me from narrating a great number of Hadith to you is that The Prophet said: “Whoever tells a LIE AGAINST me intentionally, then (surely) let him occupy his seat in Hell-fire.”

Vol 2, Book 23. Funerals (Al-Janaa’iz). Hadith 378. 
Narrated By Al-Mughira: I heard The Prophet saying, “Ascribing false things to me is not like ascribing false things to anyone else. Whosoever tells a LIE AGAINST me intentionally then surely let him occupy his seat in Hell-Fire.” I heard The Prophet saying, “The deceased who is wailed over is tortured for that wailing.”

May ALLAH guide us all to the straight path! Ameen
Wassalam and ALLAH Almighty knows best.
