Remembrance & praise

Two phrases, and a palm tree planted for you

Light on the tongue, heavy on the scale.

كَلِمَتَانِ خَفِيفَتَانِ عَلَى اللِّسَانِ، ثَقِيلَتَانِ فِي الْمِيزَانِ، حَبِيبَتَانِ إِلَى الرَّحْمَنِ، سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ الْعَظِيمِ، سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ

Subḥāna-llāhi wa bi-ḥamdih, subḥāna-llāhi-l-ʿAẓīm.

“Glory be to Allah and praise Him. Glory be to Allah, the Magnificent.”
