SubhanAllah, I murmur
a proclamation of glory
attesting my Lord free from any deficiency
thirty-three times
Alhamdulillah, I whisper
an assertion of praise
all praise belongs to Him, and Him only
thirty-three times
Allahu akbar, I utter
a declaration of truth
He is above all, far greater than any worry
thirty-four times
SubhanAllah. Alhamdulillah. Allahu akbar
a tasbih, one hundred times
one hundred trees in paradise
a cleansing for the blackened heart
a consolation for the weary soul
a tasbih for the misguided servant
yearning to tread back on the path to her Lord
