Is it permissible to remember Allah with the wording: "Glory be to Allah the Almighty and with His praise, as many as His creation, as much as pleases Him, and as much as the ink of His words"?

The fundamental principle in acts of worship is tawqif (strict adherence to revelation), based on what is stated in the texts of the two revelations (Quran and Sunnah). It is not permissible for a Muslim to deem anything good in worship based on personal preference, because every act that is not commanded by Allah is rejected. Adding the word "al-Azeem" (the Magnificent) to the tasbeeh (glorification) is permissible, because tasbeeh is established in authentic traditions, and some contemporary scholars have mentioned what indicates the permissibility of adding it.
