Glorification
سَبَّحَ لِلَّهِ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۖ وَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ ١
All that is in the heavens and the earth glorifieth Allah; and He is the Mighty, the Wise.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
Whatever is in the heavens and earth glorifies Allah.
Insight
Elmalılı explains “tasbih” as declaring Allah free, in belief, word and heart, of everything unworthy of His holy essence.
Reflect
Reflect on the meaning as you say “Subhanallah” today.
