Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, these are numerous questions that have come regarding the meaning of the Greatest Name of Allah, and what is the Greatest Name of Allah?
Answer:
Allah has concealed it among His names, Glorified and Exalted is He, so that He may be called by all of His names.[Al-A'raf 7:180] If you call upon Allah by His names, the Greatest Name is among them, just as the Night of Decree is among the nights of Ramadan. If you strive in all the nights of Ramadan, you will encounter the Night of Decree.
It is like the hour of the Friday day. If you strive in supplication throughout the entire Friday day, you will encounter the hour of response. So Allah is Wise in concealing the Greatest Name among His names, Glorified and Exalted is He, so that you call upon Him by His names, whatever is easy for you of them. Strive in that and do not limit yourself to one name. Yes.
