[3697] The expression subḥāna Rabbī (Glorified may my Lord be) emphatically exalts God Almighty above and beyond being forced to meet such intransigent demands. If He wills, He would answer whatever He wishes of these and if He so wishes he would not answer any of them (cf. al-Ṭabarī, al-Qurṭubī, Ibn Kathīr).
