Al-Ham-dulil-laah – (All the Praises belongs to Allah)
The first utterance upon our being conscious should be towards us
extolling the Praise of Allah.
This expression itself is taught to us by Allah SWT.
Its true significance (meaning) essentially is consistent with TAUHEED –
“attestation to the Absolute Oneness of Allah” – which thus literally
meant : “I extol Praises of Allah with the Praise which is in accordance
with Allah’s knowledge of Himself (Exalted and transcendent), for none
are able to praise Him adequately except Himself”
