Al-Hamd is one of the prominent forms of Dhikr (Remembrance). Why its
verb is missing? Why its pronoun missing? Why it has the article (The)
`AL'? When , where & why it was issued?
Six Grand Sheiks attempt to answer these questions: Razi, Qurtubi,
Al-Alusi, Baqli, Tabatabai, Tabari and not to mention the affectionate
poetry of Sa'di.
The Muslims can research the depth of this form of Dhikr that is
recited in every prayer, every bowing and every prostration and every
sermon and every book of Islam & Sufism.
The Non-Muslims, specially the Christians, can go beyond the English
word `praise' which now often used in comical form and ask the
question: Al-Hamd is issued by Hu?
