Al-Malik Al-Quddoos

Laa ilaaha illalLaah,
Subhaana LMalik AlQuddoos.
Al Malik in English is translated as The King. AlQuddoos translated in English is The Holy One. Al, which precedes -Malik and -Quddoos is The in Arabic, and signifies, the definite article. Thus Malik only becomes definite on its own when Al is prefixed. Thus Al-Malik, is The King. Al-Quddoos, is The Holy, Quddoos being the hyperbole of the word Quds, which means holy. The AlQuddoos follows The Al-Malik.

In Arabic, the adjective follows the noun. Thus Al Malik is the noun and Al Quddoos is the adjective. Here in these combinations, the one word clarifies the other. Thus when Allah is refered to as  Al Malik, He is also refered to as Alquddoos. Thus only Allah is Al Malik and AlQuddoos. The entire combination for The Ganjul Arsh is Laa ilaaha illaaLLaah, SubhaanaL-Malik Al Quddoos.

Subhaan Allah

2^nd posting

Subhaan means Praise which is an ellipsis of  I Praise

Therefore   Subhaan Allah   means        I praise Allah

The real meaning is as described in the verse of The Quran that says

Subhaan   Allah                       Ammaa              Yasifoon.

 I praise Allah                         from what          they ascribe

Thus the meaning of  Suhaan Allaah is:-

I celebrate the praise of Allah, far exalted is He above that which they impute

to Him.

Here  Allah means      Ta’aalaa

          Allah                  far exalted above is He

It should be interesting to look at the Christian use of Hallaluya, which is

The same as Subhaan Allah. Praise The Lord.

The old Cape Town Muslims used to translate Subhaan Allah as

Allah is free from imperfections.

Subhaan Allah is often used when people express thoughts of Allah that do not befit Allah. The other who tries to rectify then says Subhaan Allah.

Also, when people express thoughts of the greatness of the creation of Allah so as to admire Allah as The Creator. Then others will respond with Subhaan Allah.

There are many verses in The Quran that uses the word Subhaan in the context of other verses.
