Al-Muddaththir 74:3
The Cloaked One · Meccan · Juz 29 · Page 575
Magnify Your Lord
وَرَبَّكَ فَكَبِّرۡ ٣
Thy Lord magnify.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
And your Lord, magnify.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, just as you recognise in your heart that greatness belongs to Him alone and all is small before Him, proclaim it in word and deed. It is reported that when this was revealed the Prophet said “Allahu Akbar”, and Khadijah did too.
Reflect
Reflect on its meaning today as you say “Allahu Akbar”.
