Grammar Rules

Command verb
سَبِّحِ (Glorify) is a command — it's telling someone to do something.
We translate it as a direct command — "[Do this]!"
Verb form II — intensified
سَبِّحِ (Glorify) uses form II (فَعَّلَ) — the middle letter is doubled, which makes the meaning stronger or causative.
The meaning is more intense than the basic form, or means "to make someone do [action]".
