#1 This woman needs to be dumped or removed from office for ethic violations and possible crimes in 2020. Unfortunately, flogging is not an option in this country.

#8 Bullshit.

Subhanallah actually means praise. Nobody says 'good god' in arabic or urdu. You can't just translate and appropriate westernisms and use them as Dhikr; it would be a sin and blasphemy.

'Subhaanallah' is one of the tasbeeh-e-Dhikr, phrases and exhortations used to invoke Allah, in everyday chatter. It means something like 'God is beyond good !' People say it when they hear good news, or when praising a dish or a painting or song, or a woman - anything beautiful.

#9 ^ Thanks, Dron. So it sounds like a Muslim equivalent of how we today use the biblical term, "awesome" as in Deuteronomy 10:17:

For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God...

#10 Yes, Lex... sort of.

I'm sure that wasn't what Moses had in mind ☺, because he used the word meaning 'terrible and fearful', but yes. The phrase is basically used like the modern 'Awesome !' or 'Wow !'
