Al-Musabbihat
Al-Musabbihat (Arabic: الْمُسَبِّحَاتِ) are those Surahs of the Quran that begin with statements of Allah's glorification: 'Subhana', 'Sabbaha', and 'Yusabbihu'. According to Islamic scholar Muhammad Shafi (1897–1976) the collective name of the series Al-Musabbihat refers to the following five or seven Surahs: Al-Hadid (57th) Al-Hashr (59th) As-Saff (61st) Al-Jumua (62nd) At-Taghabun (64th) Sometimes it also includes: Al-Isra (17th) Al-Ala (87th) Among the first five Surahs, the first three, namely Al-Hadid, Al-Hashr and As-Saff, commence with the past perfect tense 'sabbaha' "purity has been proclaimed" whilst the last two, namely Al-Jumu'ah and At-Taghabun, commence with the imperfect tense yusabbihu [purity is proclaimed].
