wa alaykum assalam wa rahmatullah,

Very nice br Moaz! Jazak Allahu khayran for sharing the story, very beautiful. However surah Taghabun begins with tasbeeh “yusabihu lillahi, it glorifies for Allah” and not hamd. Br Hamayoun stated the last one, which is suratul An’aam. So the 5 are: Faatihah, An’aam, Kahf, Saba and Faatir. Jazakum Allahu khayran!

wa iyyakum, Alhamdulillah, my intention was to share these so we could really internalize what we are saying because when I learned their meanings it had a huge effect on me so I hope they are of benefit inshaAllah. InshaAllah br AbdelRahman, analysis of tasbeeh (subhanAllah) will be posted soon!
Please make duaa for the suhaibwebb.com team, Jazahum Allahu khayran for allowing me to contribute. I ask Allah ta’ala to bless them with the best in this life and the next, Ameen.

For a way nicer analysis on hamd, check out br Nouman Ali Khan’s article here: http://muslimmatters.org/2008/01/07/alhamdulillah-a-linguistic-miracle-of-the-quran/

I forgot to mention in my post a favorite ayah of mine, really it brings one to tears.
So we know that the dwellers of Jannah will say Alhamdulillah as their last call, but how will the dwellers of Jannah thank Allah for guiding them to Jannah? Imagine…you’re seeing the doors of Jannah, wide open for you, you enter it and see all its delight…in THAT emotional moment, what is it they say?

الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي هَدَانَا لِهَذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لِنَهْتَدِيَ لَوْلا أَنْ هَدَانَا اللَّهُ
Alhamdulillah, Who has guided us to this, never could we have found guidance, were it not that Allah had guided us! (7:43)

Sincere gratitude. Total humility. True love. They don’t even ascribe one thing to themselves. Now we can see the translation of: the most perfect praise is only for Allah. Truly THE Perfect Praise. So perfect that it completely captures this moment.
I ask Allah azza wa jal to make us among these believers who utter this statement, Ameen.

This is really awesome mA, I like these posts of linguistically breaking things down and reconstructing them Islamically. It’s really going to help when I say it during tasbeeh or even in salah from now onward, jazak Allahu khayr!

And also Surah Al Anam.

assalaamu’alaikum,
The five surahs that start with this word:
Al Fatiha
Al Kahf
As Saba
Al Fatir
At Taghabun

Also Alhamdullilah is so powerful that it once converted a man. When the people of Mecca spread rumors Muhammed (S) was a liar, sorcerer, or possessed by a jinn. A healer came to the prophet and said that he had heard that he was possessed and that he is willing to offer his service. Muhammed (S) started with the phrase alhamdulillah and went on with the sentence that we use for beginning speeches, then the healer asked him to say the beginning phrase again and then he said that he had never heard of such and that it was the best thing he ever heard. The healer then turned Muslim.

See the power of Alhamdulillah?
