What kind of punctuation marks to use in writing this?

English Language & Usage Asked by Ibrahim on August 21, 2021

We have something called dhikr in Islam.

We repeat the same word hundreds or thousands of times, e.g.

Subhanallah subhanallah subhanallah subhanallah subhanallah subhanallah subhanallah subhanallah subhanallah

(It means far from any imperfection is Allah?).

Also,

la ilahe ilallah la ilahe ilallah la ilahe ilallah la lilahe ilallah la ilahe ilallah

(There is no deity worthy of worship other than Allah).

My question is: if I write in a notebook or format pages one hundred or one thousands of this words repeatedly one after the other example subhanallah subhanallah subhanallah subhanallah….. until I reach the number one hundred or one thousand. What punctuation mark should I place between subhanallah subhanallah subhanallah subhanallah or la ilahe ilallah
la ilahe ilallah la ilahe ilallah
?

Should I place a comma like this

subhanallah, subhanallah, subhanallah, subhanallah

or a period like below ?

subhanallah. subhanallah. subhanallah. subhanallah. subhanallah. subhanallah. subhanallah. subhanallah. la ilahe ilallah. la ilahe ilallah. la ilahe ilallah. la ilahe ilallah. la ilahe ilallah. la ilahe ilallah. la ilahe ilallah

One Answer

Chicago Manual of Style (13th ed) says in section 5.56:

For ease of reading, it is sometimes desirable to separate two identical or closely similar words with a comma, even though the sense or grammatical construction does not require such separation.
