Al-'Azim
Mtukufu Mkuu
Maana
Al-'Azim ni Yule ambaye ukuu na adhama yake viko juu ya ufahamu wote. Yeye ni mkuu zaidi ya kitu chochote akili ya mwanadamu inaweza kufikiria. Tunaposema "Subhana Rabbiyal-'Azim" katika rukuu, tunakiri kwamba adhama yake iko juu ya uelewa wetu. Kila kitu katika uumbaji, haijalishi ni kikubwa kiasi gani — galaksi, bahari, milima — ni kidogo ikilinganishwa na ukuu wake. Jina hili linaweka kila kitu katika mtazamo: matatizo yako, haijalishi yanaonekana makubwa kiasi gani, si kitu mbele ya Al-'Azim. Ulimwengu wote ni kidoto tu katika uumbaji wake. Unapojihisi umelemewa, kumbuka umeunganishwa na Yule ambaye adhama yake inadunisha kila changamoto.
Katika Quran
Surah Ash-Shura (42:4): "To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth, and He is the Most High, the Magnificent (Al-'Azim)."
Tafakari ya Kila Siku
Katika rukuu yako, unaposema "Subhana Rabbiyal-'Azim," je, unatafakari kweli adhama yake? Sala yako ingelibadilikaje ungelihisi maneno haya kwa kina?
