Praised Be

Imam Sadiq (A.S) was asked about the lowest level of praising Almighty God, and he replied:
You say:  

الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي عَلاَ فَقَهَرَ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي مَلَكَ فَقَدَرَ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي بَطَنَ فَخَبَرَ وَ  الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي يُمِيتُ الْأَحْيَاءَ وَ يُحْيِي الْمَوْتَى وَ هُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ.

Praise be to God who prevailed and overcame and the praise belongs to God who has possessed and became mighty; and the praise is for God who has gained the knowledge of the concealed parts of the things and become aware of them; and the praise belongs to God, who brings death to the live and life to the dead, and He is capable of doing everything.
