Is there a simpler and deeper meaning of SubhanAllah? And what is the wisdom of saying it during Ruku and Sujood?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

SubhanaAllah means :Exalted and Glorified is Allah. 
We repeat saying Subhana Allah to remember the Greatness of Allah, which in fact more than any imagination. Our thinking and intellectual abilities fail in exploring or reaching to the real greatness of Allah.

Repeating SubhanaAllah makes us more humble in our worship and more humble with people.

Wassalam.
What is the wisdom behind a woman wearing Hijab and covering herself whilst praying to God, even in private?
Zoheir Ali Esmail

Bismillah

Thank you for your question. While the wisdom is not known with certainty, some have opined that it is a symbol that the female path to God is one of chastity and so the donning of full hijab during prayer to a God who sees the female in all her states is a symbol of that path. 

May you always be successful
What was the Divine wisdom of giving Khidr (a) more knowledge in certain matters than Prophet Musa (a) although Musa had a greater status?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Al-Khidhr (AS) was one of the sincere servants of Allah (SWT) who was
been granted by Allah (SWT) His direct knowledge علم لدني (surah 18 verse 65).
Al-Khidhr (AS) was more knowledgeable than Prophet Moosa (AS) in few
matters and not in every matter. The Divine Wisdom is best known by
Allah (SWT). Some of the Ulama say that it might be a procedure to
train Prophet Moosa to be more patient and to teach the believer in
all the ages to be patient and to seek more knowledge and not to
object before having full knowledge about the situation. After all,
Allah (SWT) knows the best of the Divine Wisdom as we believe that He
is the Absolute Wise and Merciful who knows everything in the past,
present and the future, that is why we firmly believe in His divine wisdom best known to Him and His messenger and the his Infallible successors.

What was the Divine wisdom behind the prohibition for Prophet Adam (a) towards the forbidden tree?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

We as believers in Allah (SWT) believe that every act or order from Allah (SWT) is according to the best Wisdom and Mercy because He is The Absolute Wise and His Knowledge is the Full Knowledge and His Mercy is the Absolute. 

We should not expect our limited minds to be able to contain the un limited Knowledge and Wisdom of Allah (SWT). We say : Allah knows the best. This does not mean that we are prohibited from thinking, on the contrary, we ae always been encouraged to think in the proper way of thinking, which guides us to the truth which includes the reality that our abilities including our thinking powers are limited.

Allah (SWT) guided Adam and Hawwa to be away from a tree for divine wisdom best known to Him. It might be training them for the next step which is to be on earth to establish human life n this planet and it might be other reasons.

Wassalam.
