Show Full Scripture Context (37:180-182) — 3 Verses
سُبۡحَٰنَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ ٱلۡعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ
Glory to your Lord, Lord of honor, above what they allege!
وَسَلَٰمٌ عَلَى ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ
Peace (be) upon the envoys,
وَٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ
and praise (be) to God, Lord of the worlds!
Allah glorified Himself and states that He is far above what the lying wrongdoers say about Him; glorified and sanctified and exalted be He far above what they say. Allah says: "Glorified be your Lord, the Lord of Al-'Izzah!" meaning, the Owner of might and power Whom none can resist. "(He is free) from what they attribute unto Him!" means, from what these lying fabricators say. "And Salam (peace!) be on the Messengers!" means, may the peace of Allah be upon them in this world and in the Hereafter, because what they say about their Lord is sound, correct and true. "And all the praises and thanks be to Allah, Lord of all that exists." means, praise be to Him at the beginning and at the end of all things. Because glorification implies declaring Allah to be free of all shortcomings, the two ideas are juxtaposed here. Other Hadiths concerning the expiation for any wrongs that may have occurred during a gathering prescribe saying the words: "Glory be to You, O Allah, and praise. There is no God except You; I seek your forgiveness and I repent to you."
