This chapter is again from the children's Encyclopedia I told you about. I decided again to share it with you, as its not very long.
Tasbeeh is the act of saying 'Subhaan-Allah (Glory be to Allah). Allah (swa) commands the faithful to recite tasbeeh: "Glorify the name of your Lord, Most High." (Surat Al-A'laa, 87:1) "O you who believe! Remember Allah much and glorify Him morning and evening." (Surat Al-Ahzaab, 33:41-2)
Tasbeeh is a form of dhikr which has many merits. The Prophet (pbuh) said, "Whoever says 'Subhaan-Allahi wa bihamdihi' one hundred times a day will be forgiven of all his sins even if they were as much as the foam of the sea." (Reported by Al-Bukharee)
He also said, "There are two expressions that are light upon the tongue, heavy in the scale [of deeds], and very dear to the Beneficent [Allah]: 'Subhaan-Allah-il-'Adheem' and 'Subhaan-Allahi wa bihamdihi."
(Reported by Al-Bukhaaree)
