Question:
And this person asks: What is the exegesis of "Subhan Allah wa bihamdih, 'adad khalqih, wa ridha nafsih, wa zinat 'arshih, wa midad kalamatih"?
Answer:
Their exegesis of the phrase "Subhan Allah" is that it means "I purify Allah," because tasbih means purifying Him. "The number of the verse" means the amount of the cooked dish. They glorify Him a number of times equal to the number of created beings, and in this there is great virtue.
"The weight of His Throne" means that in the scale, there is a glorification that equals the Throne. The Throne is a great creation; it is the greatest of all creations. It is a weight upon yourself. That is to say, a glorification that pleases Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He.
And this is a great objective. "And the ink of His words": the ink is the ink, meaning "Subhan Allah," a glorification that equals the ink with which the words of Allah are written. Allah, Exalted and Majestic is He, said:[Al-Kahf 18:109] [Al-Kahf 18:109]. And if what [Luqman 31:27], Exalted and Majestic is He, commands and forbids and speaks, Glorified and Exalted is He, whenever He wills, and there is no limit to His speech, no beginning and no end, because it is one of the attributes of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. So you glorify Allah with a glorification that equals the ink with which the words of Allah are written. This is magnifying Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. He writes for you reward according to what He wills. And this was said by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so it is with evidence. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.

Say, "If the sea were ink for [writing] the words of my Lord

لَنَفِدَ الْبَحْرُ قَبْلَ أَن تَنفَدَ كَلِمَاتُ رَبِّي وَلَوْ جِئْنَا بِمِثْلِهِ مَدَدًاupon the earth were pens and the sea [was ink], replenished thereafter by seven [more] seas, the words of Allah would not be exhausted. Indeed, Allah
فِي الْأَرْضِ مِن شَجَرَةٍ أَقْلَامٌ وَالْبَحْرُ يَمُدُّهُ مِن بَعْدِهِ سَبْعَةُ أَبْحُرٍ مَّا نَفِدَتْ كَلِمَاتُ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَThe presenter:
