Is saying "Subhan Allah wa bihamdih, Subhan Allah Al-Azim" sufficient instead of saying "Subhan Allah wa bihamdih" one hundred times in the morning remembrances, and which is better?
In the morning adhkar (remembrances), it is best to limit oneself to "Subhan Allah wa bihamdihi" (Glorified is Allah and praised is He) one hundred times, as stated in the . As for adding "al-Azim" (the Most Great), as in "Subhan Allah al-Azim wa bihamdihi" (Glorified is Allah, the Most Great, and praised is He), this is also correct. A Muslim can combine the two forms in practice if the acts of worship are of different types. And "Subhan Allah wa bihamdihi, Subhan Allah al-Azim" (Glorified is Allah and praised is He, Glorified is Allah, the Most Great) is a general (remembrance) that a Muslim can frequently recite throughout his day. Acts of worship are tawqifiyyah (fixed and immutable), so one should not add to the number or the wording except with evidence.
