Glorify your Lord

Glorify your Lord
رببك ف ك ببر = “Rabbaka Fa Kabbir”

Palindrome (a word or sentence which will read the same when read left to right or right to left) in the Qur’an we need to stress just how special that is. Examples in English are, Dad, Mum, racecar , madam, nurses run.
The largest palindrome in English is one word made up of 11 letters, detartrated which means: something from which the tartrates (salts or ester of tartaric acid) have been removed.
As you will note these are quite trivial or simple examples, however looking at the Qur’an we find something exceptional, a whole sentence profound in meaning and wording in chapter 74 verse 3.
“Glorify your Lord”
رببك ف ك ببر = “Rabbaka Fa Kabbir”
You will note that the verse also starts (not shown here) with the letter wow. In this context and instance this letter wow is used to signify a new sentence as opposed to the usual meaning of “and”. Therefore the verse reads beautifully the same forwards and backwards.
