SECOND OPENING SUPPLICATION 2/3
PAGE9
Abdullah ibn Masood narrates this supplication to us
The Prophet pbuh said
THESE WORDS ARE SOME OF THE MOST BELOVED WORDS A PERSON CAN SAY TO ALLAH!
The THEME of this supplication is PRAISE AND GLORIFICATION OF ALLAH
SUBHANAKA- 2 words
Subhana- comes from the root word which means TO SWIM
What does that have to do with praising Allah?
SABAHA means to swim in classical Arabic
AL AWM refers to when you swim with your head under water
Sabaha refers to when you swim with head over water
Allah is A LEVEL ABOVE HIS CREATION
Level above fault
Above creation
Just like head is above water
THEN there is deeper reflection in this word as well, -WHATS something required for swimming?
YOU NEED TO CONSTANTLY MOVE,
IF YOU STOP, YOU DROWN, YOU SINK
Similarity, TASBEEH refers to praising and glorifying Allah. It is to remind us that THE ONLY WAY TO STAY AFLOAT IN THE SEA OF TEMPTATION IS TO STAY IN THE REMEMBERANCE OF ALLAH. THE MOMENT WE STOP, WE WILL SINK INTO THE TEMPTATION. We need to constantly to dhikr- remembrance of Allah
SUBHAAN- this is a specific form of the word, like subhaan , it signifies ABUNDANCE
So if I say subhaan relating to talking about how perfect Allah is, subhaan means how ABSOLOUTLY PERFECT ALLAH IS! HOW AMAZINGLY FLAWLESS ARE YOU,
