Question:
May Allah reward you with good. The eloquence in the Noble Qur'an is clear. If a person reads it and is amazed by that eloquence, is it permissible for him to say, "Subhanaka Rabbi, how eloquent You are," just as he might say, for example, "Subhanaka Rabbi, how merciful You are" or "how great You are," in order to magnify Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He)?
Answer:
It is better to say, "Subhanak, how eloquent Your speech is, how clear Your speech is, and how beneficial Your speech is," because this is a description of the speech of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He).
