In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Peace be upon you,

[Quran 1:2] Praise be to GOD, Lord of the universe.

[Quran 10:10] Their prayer therein is: "Be You glorified, our god," their greeting therein is, "Peace," and their ultimate prayer is: "Praise be to GOD, Lord of the universe."

[Quran 39:75] You will see the angels floating around the throne, glorifying and praising their Lord. After the equitable judgment is issued to all, it will be proclaimed: "Praise be to GOD, Lord of the universe."


These verses show us that whether it's in this life (Quran 1:2) or in the Hereafter (Quran  10:10, 39:75), all praise belonging to God is a matter of fact. It is a timeless statement (Quran 28:70).

This statement, "praise be to God, Lord of the universe" is also a means of uniting people under the banner of God alone. All submitters from all religions are happy to recognize and utter this statement.  It is the truth. It removes the human factors and focuses on praising the One True God.

May God help us consciously remember to praise Him in this life so that we are among those mentioned in Quran 17:52: The day He summons you, you will respond by praising Him ...
