How is Allah glorified after daily prayers and what are the stages of the glorification?
Dear Brother / Sister,
After the fard prayer, one should say, "Allahumma antassalamu wa minkassalam, tabarakta ya dhaljalali wal ikram. (O Allah, You are the One Who is free from all defects and deficiencies and from You is all peace, blessed are You, O Possessor of majesty and honor.)" After the last sunnah prayer is performed, the following are uttered:
"Ala Rasulina salawat" (Utter salawat for the Prophet).
" Subhanallahi wal hamdu lillahi wa la ilaha illallahu wallahu akbar. Wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa billahil aliyyil azim."
Its meaning: " Glorified is Allah, All the praises and thanks are to Allah, There is no god but Allah, and Allah is the Greatest. There is no omnipotence and power except by Allah, the Most High, the Most Great."
After that, Ayatul-Kursiyy is read:
" Allahu la ilaha illa huwal hayyul qayyum. La ta’khudhuhu sinatun wa la nawm. Lahu ma fis-samawati wama fil ard. Mandhalladhi yashfau indahu illa biidhnihi. ya’lamu ma bayna aydihim wama khalfahum wala yuhituna bishay’in min ilmihi illa bima sha’a wasia kursiyyuhussamawati wal ard. Wala yauduhu hifzuhuma wa huwal aliyyul azim."
Its meaning: " Allah! there is no Allah but He - the living, the Self-subsisting, Eternal. No slumber can seize him nor sleep. His are all things in the heavens and on earth. Who is there can intercede in His presence except as He permitteth? He knoweth what (appeareth to His creatures as) Before or After or Behind them. Nor shall they compass aught of His knowledge except as He willeth. His Throne doth extend over the heavens and the earth, and He feeleth no fatigue in guarding and preserving them. For He is the Most High, the Supreme (in glory)."
Subhanalah (Allah is free from all incomplete attributes; He is equipped with perfect attributes) is uttered 33 times.
Alhamdulillah (Praise be to Allah) is uttered 33 times.
Allahu akbar (Allah is the greatest) is uttered 33 times.
After that, the following is said:
"Lailaha illallahu wahdahu la sharika lah. Lahul mulku wa lahul hamdu wa huwa ala kulli shayin."
Its meaning: There is none worthy worship but Allah alone, who has no partner. His is the dominion and to Him belongs all praise, and He is able to do all things." After that, one should pray to Allah.
