Subhanahu wa-ta'ala (Arabic: سبحانه وتعالى‎) is an Islamic Arabic phrase meaning, "glorious and exalted is He (Allah)." The phrase (often abbreviated to "swt") appears after the name of Allah in Islamic texts such as the Qur'an and the Hadith. Saying this phrase is seen as an act of reverence and devotion towards Allah among Muslims.
