The Meaning of Exalting the Lord, Mighty and Majestic, in Ruku'

Question:
The exaltation mentioned in ruku' is explained by the phrase: "Subhan Rabbi al-Azim" (Glory be to my Lord, the Most Great), or it encompasses all types of exaltation. For example, if one exalts Allah without reciting the specific tasbih in ruku' after performing the prescribed dhikr?

Answer:
It means that one should seek out the forms of tasbih that involve exalting the Lord. These are not supplications like: "Subbuhan Quddus" (The Exalted, The Holy), "Subhanak Allahumma Rabbana wa bihamdika, Allahumma ighfir li" (Glory be to You, O our Lord, and praise, O Allah, forgive me), but rather "Subhan Rabbi al-Azim" (Glory be to my Lord, the Most Great), "Subhan Rabbi al-Azim" (Glory be to my Lord, the Most Great).
It is a place of humility, but between prostration and standing. So the takbirs (saying Allahu Akbar) in it are between these two states. One is in a state of humility and submission, but less than in prostration. Prostration is more submissive and more humble; therefore, the supplication in it is greater, more abundant, and more eloquent.
