Tasbih / Tasbeeh /(تسبيح) is a form of dhikr that involves the repetitive utterances of short sentences glorifying God, in Islam.
The word ‘tasbih’ means the act of saying "SubhanAllah (Glorious is God) "
Tasbih is comprised of two words: Subhan(
سبحان ) and Allah (
الله
)
Subhan means to glorify, praise, magnify, extol Allah, by tongue or by heart. It includes:
1. To say He has no flaw in His Perfection, that He is Far above any imperfection.
2. He is far above and beyond any similarity to His Creation.
3. He is free from and above all kinds of association (shirk) and any un-divine attributes.
When one does tasbih, they negate any flaw and affirm all perfection in Allah azza wa jal.
Translations such as “glory be to Allah” do not contain the full meaning of tasbih, rather it is an impartial translation.
A more appropriate translation is,
SubhanAllah = How Perfect is Allah and Far Above any flaw and association.
So when we say “SubhanAllah” the complete meaning is (but not limited too):
I declare (or celebrate, extol) the remoteness, or freedom, of Allah from any imperfection or impurity or from anything derogatory from His glory. From the attribution of there being an equal to Him, or any companion, or anything like unto Him, or anything contrary to Him, from everything that should not be attributed to Him.

TIPS 3 : Dhikr ( Dhikr everyday )
"... without doubt in the remembrance (Dhikr) of Allah do hearts find tranquility"
(Quran 13:28).
If you commute, use your time in Zikr.
Pick any Tasbih and do that instead of listening to the radio or reading the newspaper.
Maybe you can divide it up between Zikr and planning.
Personally, I (the writer) recite the Tasbih of
"SubhanaAllahe wa be hamdihi, subhanAllahil Azeem" 100 times as I drive.
The Prophet taught us these two short phrases which are easy to say but will weigh heavy on our scale of good deeds in the Hereafter.
When your heart feels heavy with stress or grief, remember Allah and surround yourself with His Zikr.
"And your Lord says: 'Call on Me; I will answer your (prayer)..." (Quran 40:60)
By remembering Allah in the way He has taught us to, we are more likely to gain acceptance of our prayers and His Mercy in times of difficulty.
We are communicating with the only One Who not only Hears and Knows all, but Who can change our situation and give us the patience to deal with our difficulties.
"Remember Me, and I shall remember you; be grateful to Me, and deny Me not"
(Quran 2:152).

TIPS 3 : Dhikr @ Zkir ( Remembrance of Allah )
Dhikr is a form of prayer in which the Muslim will express his or her remembrance of God either within or overtly; this may come in the form of recitation or simply always remembering God in one’s heart. The word dhikr is commonly translated as "remembrance" or "invocation".
There are several phrases that are usually read when remembering Allah. Here are a few:
Subhan'Allah - سبحان الله
means "Glory be to Allah" or "How pure is Allah" or "Exalted be Allah [far above is Allah from any shortcoming or imperfection]"
Alhamdulillah - الحمد لله
means "All praise is due to Allah", an expression of gratitude
La ilaha ilallah - لا إله إلا الله
means "There is no god but Allah"
Allahu Akbar - الله أَكْبَر
means "Allah is Greater" or "Allah is the Greatest"
La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah - لا حول ولاقوة إلا بالله
means "There is no power or strength except with Allah."
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem-
means "In the Name of God, The Gracious, The Merciful" said before anything of spiritual significance ; e.g. eating, wudhu, salaat, rising from and going to sleep, before work, etc.

For a start , repeat "Allah" or
"Subhan'Allah ,wAlhamdullilah Wa La ilaha illah , Allahu Akbar (watch the video below )" as much as possible ...
