6. Al 'Hamd;
[ Hamd ➜ praise and thanks ]
• Hamd is from ha-meem-daal and it is to mention the good attribute of a
person. Hamd is based on mahabbah (love) and ta’dheem (greatness).
• The ‘al’ before ‘hamd’ is called “istighraaq” in Arabic, and when “al” comes
before this phrase its means that entire praise, all kinds of praise and all the
time, hamd is due to Allah(like the in english).
•
• The “li” (lillah, meaning To Allah) implies limitation which is known as
“ikhtisaas” in Arabic and it means that Allah is the only One who deserves
the hamd.

7.  Praise VS Thanks
• Al Hamd means that both praise and thanks be to Allah.
• Praise: When we see something so beautiful or amazing, we praise but
don’t thank. (i.e. when we see an new iPad pro)
• Thank: We thank to someone only when we get something and being
pleased. (i.e. when we receive gift from someone).
 Verb VS Noun
• This ayah doesn’t say “We praise Allah” because then Hamd will be like
a verb.
• And a verb is dependent on two things : Subject or doer and time or
tense.
• Instead this ayah say “Praise belongs to Allah”, then Hamd is like a
noun. Meaning that either anyone praise or not all praise belongs to
Allah regardless the time.

Interestingly RAHMAAN has been mentioned 57 times and RAHEEM 114

RAHAM in the Arabic language (does not mean mercy) is the womb of the
