سُبْحَانَ Glory be to
This is a fixed exclamation of awe, 'glory be to...', and it stands in a permanent accusative as a kind of frozen verbal noun. It heads a possessive — 'glory OF God' — so the next word is its owner. Arabic uses this set accusative form for such praises.
ثم أخبر سبحانه عن حال الانسان في يوم القيامة أنه غير ممتنع من عذاب الله لا بقوة منه ولا بقوة من خارج وهو الناصر
Then Allah informed that on the Day of Judgment, a human cannot protect himself from Allah's punishment, neither through his own strength nor through outside help.
سُبْحَانَهُ God
An honorific for God meaning 'glory be to Him', here naming the One who informs. It is a fixed devotional expression in the object-style form; read it as the divine subject of the verb.
ونظيره قوله سبحان ﴿لا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ نَصْرَ أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَلا هُمْ مِنَّا يُصْحَبُونَ﴾
And similarly, His words: "They cannot help themselves, nor are they helped by Us."
سُبْحَانُ Glory
An honorific praise-word for God, 'glory', here a frozen devotional formula used reverently before the quotation. It is set in a fixed form and is not part of the sentence's main grammar; read it as an interjection of praise.
ثم أقسم سبحانه ب ﴿وَالسَّمَاءِ ذَاتِ الرَّجْعِ وَالأَرْضِ ذَاتِ الصَّدْعِ﴾
Then God swore by the heavens with their return and the earth with its cleaving.
سُبْحَانَهُ God
An honorific for God, 'glory be to Him', naming the One who swears, in its fixed devotional form. Read it as the divine subject of the oath.
ثم أقسم سبحانه ب ﴿وَالسَّمَاءِ ذَاتِ الرَّجْعِ وَالأَرْضِ ذَاتِ الصَّدْعِ﴾
Then Allah, the Exalted, swore by 'the sky which returns' and 'the earth which cleaves open.'
سُبْحَانَهُ the Exalted
This is the glorification formula with an attached 'him' referring to God, set beside the subject to exalt Him. The attached pronoun ties it to God; the phrase as a whole is a standing exclamation of praise rather than an ordinary part of the clause.
وقرن سبحانه بين هذين الأصلين في غير موضع في كتابه
And Allah associated these two principles in various places in His Book.
سُبْحَانَهُ Allah
This is the set devotional formula declaring God free of any flaw, here standing in for the divine subject, with an attached pronoun referring to God. It functions as a reverent way of naming the doer of the joining verb.
وهو سبحانه يصرف الأقسام كما يصرف الآيات
And He, glorified be He, directs the oaths as He directs the verses.
سُبْحَانَهُ glorified be He
A fixed glorifying phrase for God ('glory be to Him'), grammatically a praise noun with an attached 'Him' ending, inserted as a reverent aside beside the pronoun.
فإذا عطلها مدعيًا للتوكل كان جهلًا بالتوكل وردًّا لحكمة الواضع لأن التوكل إنما هو اعتماد القلب على الله سبحانه وليس من ضرورته قطع الأسباب،
So if someone neglects them claiming reliance on God, it is ignorance of true trust and a rejection of the Creator's wisdom, because reliance is the heart's dependence on Allah, Exalted is He, and does not require abandoning means.
سُبْحَانَهُ Exalted is He
This is the fixed glorification-formula said after Allah's mention, 'glory be to Him', appended as an act of reverence. It functions as a set devotional unit rather than as ordinary sentence grammar.
وقد جمع الله سبحانه وتعالى الطب كله في نصف آية
And Allah, Glorified and Exalted, has summarized all of medicine in half a verse.
سُبْحَانَهُ Glorified is He
This is a glorifying phrase fused with the attached 'Him', a fixed expression of praise inserted after God's name. The attached pronoun refers to God; the whole piece works as a reverent aside.
وَأَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى أَنْ يَنْفَعَنَا بِهِ،
And I ask God, Glorified and Exalted, to benefit us by it.
سُبْحَانَهُ Glorified be He
