and He is the All-Wise, the All-Aware (1).” [Saba’: 1]

He said:

“Praise be to Allah, the Originator of the heavens and the earth, who made the angels messengers with wings—two, three, or four. He increases in creation whatever He wills. Surely Allah has power over all things (1).” (1) [Fātir: 1]

He said:

“He is Allah; there is no god but Him. All praise belongs to Him in this world and the Hereafter. His is the judgment, and to Him you will be returned (70).” [al-Qasas: 70]

He said:

“So glorify Allah when evening comes upon you and when morning comes (17). And to Him belongs all praise in the heavens and the earth—and glorify Him in the late afternoon and at noon (18).” (2) [al-Rūm: 17–18]

He said:

“Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on earth glorifies Allah. His is the dominion, and His is all praise, and He has power over all things (1).” [al-Taghābun: 1]

He said of the people of Paradise (3):

“And they will say, ‘Praise be to Allah, who has fulfilled His promise to us and made us inherit the land, so that we may dwell in Paradise wherever we please.’ How excellent is the reward of those who do good (74).” [al-Zumar: 74]

“And they will say, ‘Praise be to Allah, who has removed all sorrow from us. Our Lord is indeed All-Forgiving, Most Appreciative.’” [Fātir: 34]
