SADAQALLAHUL 'AZIM


SADAQALLAHUL 'AZIM
This is a statement of truth that a Muslim says after reading any amount of verses from the Qur'an.
 The meaning of it is: "Allah says the truth." 

The Qur'an is the exact words of Allah in verbatim.
 When Allah speaks, He says the truth; and when the Qur'an is being recited, a Muslim is reciting the words of truth of Allah.
 Hence, he says: "Sadaqallahul 'Azim."
SALLALLAHU 'ALAIHI WA SALLAM ( Abbreviated as: S.A.W.)
When the name of Prophet Muhammad (saw) is mentioned or written, a Muslim is to respect him and invoke this statement of peace upon him. The meaning of it is: "May the blessings and the peace of Allah be upon him (Muhammad)". 


Another expression that is alternatively used is: "Alaihissalatu Wassalam."
 This expression means: "On Him (Muhammad) are the blessings and the peace of Allah." 

Allah has ordered Muslims, in the Qur'an, to say such an expression. Muslims are informed that if they proclaim such a statement once, Allah will reward them ten times.
SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALA (Abbrviated as: S.W.T.)
This is an expression that Muslims use whenever the name of Allah is pronounced or written. The meaning of this expression is: "Allah is pure of having partners and He is exalted from having a son."
Muslims believe that Allah is the only God, the Creator of the Universe. He does not have partners or children. Sometimes Muslims use other expressions when the name of Allah is written or pronounced. Some of which are: "'Azza Wa Jall": He is the Mighty and the Majestic; "Jalla Jalaluh": He is the exalted Majestic.
