Al-Musabbihat () are those sura of the Quran that begin with statements of Allah's glorification: 'Subhana', 'Sabbaha', and 'Yusabbihu'. According to Islamic scholar Muhammad Shafi (1897–1976) the collective name of the series Al-Musabbihat refers to the following five or seven Surahs:
Sometime it also includes:
Among the first five Surahs, the first three, namely Al-Hadid, Al-Hashr and As-Saff, commence with the past perfect tense 'sabbaha' "purity has been proclaimed" whilst the last two, namely Al-Jumu'ah and At-Taghabun, commence with the imperfect tense yusabbihu purity. This implies that the purity of God should be declared at all times, the past, the present and the future.Tafsir al-Mazhari
