BUT ALLĀH HAD A BETTER PLAN

 FAJR REMINDER: BUT ALLĀH HAD A BETTER PLAN By: Umm Affān Rabī' Al-Awwal 19, 1448 (1-September-2026) When Mūsā (‘Alayhi Salām) was cast into the river, his mother’s heart became empty. She could think of nothing in this world except her beloved child. The grief was so overwhelming that she was almost unable to conceal what had happened.  A mother's love!

We then say: سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْأَعْلَى Subḥaana Rabbiyal-Aʿalaa Meaning: “Glory is to my LORD, the Most High.” It is normally repeated three times, though the number is not restricted to exactly three. The Prophet ﷺ instructed us regarding rukūʿ: “Glorify therein the greatness of the Lord…” and regarding sujūd: “…and strive in supplication, for it is fitting that you should be answered.” This is reported in Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim.
