For instance, &#8220;Sub\u1e25\u0101na All\u0101h&#8221; (Glory be to Allah) is frequently used to express wonder or awe at the unexpected. When shock is met with tragedy or helplessness, the phrase &#8220;L\u0101 \u1e25awla wa l\u0101 quwwata ill\u0101 bi-ll\u0101h&#8221; is a standard way to seek patience and strength. Non-verbal cues, such as a sharp gasp or a hand to the chest, often accompany these verbal exclamations to emphasize the intensity of the emotion.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Definition A state of sudden surprise, disbelief, or emotional distress caused by an unexpected event.
