Question of the day from my daily Q & A series. Subscribe for the answer and for daily reminder blogs: https://t.me/FarinaSiddiquipostings  Let's defeat Islamophobia together!!! Q: What does SWT means written after Allah? A: When writing the name of God (Allah), Muslims often follow it with the abbreviation "SWT," which stands for the Arabic words "Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala." Muslims use these or similar words to glorify God (Allah) when mentioning his name. The abbreviation in modern usage might appear as "SWT," "swt". "Meaning of SWT": In Arabic, "Subhanahu wa ta'ala" translates as "Glory to HIM", the Exalted" or "Glorious and Exalted Is HE." In saying or reading the name of Allah, the shorthand of "SWT" indicates an act of Reverence and Devotion toward God (Allah). Islamic scholars instruct adherents that the letters are intended to serve as reminders only. Muslims are still expected to invoke the words in the full greeting or salutation when seeing the letters. "SWT" appears in the Quran in the following Ayahs of multiple Surahs of Holy Quran: 6:100, 10:18, 16:1, 17:43, 30:40 and 39:67, and its use is not restricted to theological tracts. "SWT" often appears whenever The Name of Allah does, even in publications dealing with topics such as Islamic finance. In the view of some adherents, use of this and other abbreviations could be misleading to non-Muslims, who might mistake one of the abbreviations for being part of the True Name of God (Allah). Some Muslims view the shorthand itself as possibly disrespectful. Credit:  Devliyn Mack Please share with family and friends For more Islam Q & As, please like and share my page.
