ALL PRAISE TO ALLAH (SUB)
MAY PEACE & BLESSINGS BE UPON THE HOLY PROPHET (PEACE BE UPON HIM)
ASSALAMU-ALAIKUM
Dear brothers & sisters in Islam
A couple of months ago, as I was discussing about Salaah with my friends, one of them pointed out that all these years he had been reciting the invocations in Ruku and Sujood wrongly. When asked, he said that he had been reciting as follows:
SUBHAANA RABBIL-'ADHEEM in ruku and
SUBHAANA RABBIL-A'ALAA in sujood
Yes, this is what many of us are (or have been) reciting but then I quickly realized what he was about to say because even I was reciting the above, until I corrected myself once I landed in the Kingdom, ALHAMDULILLAH.
Well, in that case, what are the correct invocations?
The correct invocations are as follows:
"سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْعَظِيمِ"
Subhaana Rabbiyal-'Adheem
meaning 'Glory to my Lord the Exalted' (three times in Arabic)
"سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الأَعْلَى"
Subhaana Rabbiyal-A 'laa
meaning 'Glory is to my Lord, the Most High' (three times in Arabic)
Do you see any difference? Yes, there is!
The second word is 'RABBIYAL' and not 'RABBIL' as we are (or have been) reciting.
I would sincerely request those brothers/sisters who have been reciting it wrongly all these years to concentrate in their Salaah, correct it at the earliest and make it perfect INSHA ALLAH as Allah (SUB) says in the Holy Quran, Chapter 18 V 30
Verily! As for those who believe and do righteous deeds, certainly! We shall not suffer to be lost the reward of anyone who does his (righteous) deeds in the most perfect manner.
18:30 எவர்கள் இறைநம்பிக்கை கொண்டு நற்செயல் புரிகின்றார்களோ அத்தகைய அழகிய செயல் புரிவோரின் கூலியை நிச்சயமாக நாம் வீணாக்குவதில்லை.
And those brothers/sisters who have already been reciting it correctly, I would sincerely request them to pass on the message for the benefit of others and you can indirectly earn rewards.
Finally I would like to thank the brother who inspired me to pass this message. May Allah reward him abundantly in both worlds, Ameen.
If any of the above is correct, its from ALLAH.
If any of the above is wrong, its from me.
And ALLAH knows best!
May ALLAH guide all of us on the right path.
