When a Muslim hears the mention of Allah Almighty, he should glorify Him, praise Him, affirm His Oneness, or exalt Him by saying: "Subhanah" (Glorified be He), or "Ta'ala" (the Most High), or " "Tabaraka wa Ta'ala" (Blessed and Exalted be He), or "Azza wa Jall" (Mighty and Majestic), and similar expressions that convey veneration. This is prescribed, even if some fall short in it.
