سُبْحَانَ اللّٰهِ (tasbīḥ), اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ (taḥmīd), and اَللّٰهُ أَكْبَرُ (takbīr) are amongst the most beloved
statements to Allah.
Though easy to utter with our tongues, on the Day of Judgement, they will be heavy
on the scales. They wipe away sins and lead tounparalleled reward.
They cultivate the trees and plants of Paradise, and are a protection from the Hell-Fire.
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Indeed what you remember of Allah’s Glory (by
uttering) tasbīḥ, takbīr, tahlīl and taḥmīd, gather around the Throne of Allah,
buzzing like bees, mentioning to Allah the person who uttered them.
Do you not wish to have someone who mentions you by Him?” (Ibn Mājah).
What Does سُبْحَانَ اللّٰهِ (Tasbih) Mean?
سُبْحَانَ اللّٰهِ means to glorify Allah above any imperfection or deficiency i.e. Allah is free from all defects.
Allah is the Most Glorified who has no partner or rival, who possesses every aspect of perfection,
and whose actions are pure and free from evil.
What Does اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ (Tahmid) Mean?
اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ is an expression that encompasses both:
(1) Gratitude for what Allah has blessed us with; īmān, life, health etc.
(2) Praise: Allah is worthy of every possible praise on account of His very existence, His mercy,
beauty, generosity and all of His other noble Attributes and Names. All of His Attributes are perfect;
be they of His majesty (jalāl) or beauty (jamāl). Even if none of His slaves praised Him,
He would still be worthy of all praise.
What Does اَللهُ أَكْبَر (Takbir) Mean?
اَللّٰهُ أَكْبَرُ means ‘Allah is Greater than…’ By not specifying what He is Greater than, we are saying
that He is Greater than everything. Allah is Greater than anything we can imagine, and His greatness
encompasses all things: He is Great in His Essence, His Names, His Attributes and His Actions.
Allah is Supreme and Transcendent above every limitation and deficiency that is inherent in
created beings. Our limited minds are unable to comprehend the Greatness of Allah.
“The seven heavens in comparison to the Kursī is nothing but like a ring thrown in a desert, and the excellence
of the Throne of Allāh over the Kursī is like the excellence of that desert over that ring.” (Bayhaqī)
