| Hadith, reported in Sahih Muslim, hadith number 2726• Allah is the Most Noble, and He only accepts and is pleased with good things, therefore when we glorify Allah and praise Him by His pleasure, we are saying that He deserves to be glorified and praised in the best manner possible as He is only pleased with that which is good• Another understanding of this phrase is that when Allah is pleased with something, He gives the best reward for it, so His pleasure is a great and noble thing• Hadith, reported by Ibn Hibban, hadith number 361, Al-Albani graded it as authentic in Al-Silsilah Al-Sahihah, hadith number 109• When we say we glorify Allah and praise Him by the quantity of His creation, we are saying that He deserves to be glorified and praised by this much, and more, because His creation are constantly on the increase• | When we say we glorify Allah and praise Him by the quantity of His creation, we are not saying that we are praising Allah this many times, as it is inconceivable that someone can say I am praising Allah x number of times without actually doing so an x number of times• To be recited three times in the morning Brief Commentary• The throne of Allah is the heaviest of the creation |

| This makes the remembrance of Allah not just in the tongue, but also in the heart• Other than Allah Himself, nothing falls outside His creation, therefore He deserves to be glorified and praised an infinite number of times• The more present your heart is when remembering Allah, the greater your reward will be• We follow this up by praising Allah in a complete manner which encompasses praising Him for the qualities that He possesses, and for the good He has done for us• The difference between the two is that the supplication he said, explored the greatness of what Allah deserves, so opens up the heart to contemplate over Allah | As the throne is the heaviest and largest object, we are saying that Allah deserves the largest and weightiest form of glorification and praise• If they were compared to [all] of what you said today, they would outweigh them |
