What is the Greatest Name of Allah?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Is the word of majesty, Allah, the Greatest Name?
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
The word of majesty, Allah.
The Shaykh:
Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) has concealed the Greatest Name within all of His names. Every name is a possibility that it is the Greatest Name, so that you may call upon Him by all of them and not limit yourself to just one of them. This is like how He concealed the Night of Decree in Ramadan so that you would strive throughout the entire month, and like how He concealed the hour of response on Friday so that you would supplicate on every day and thereby obtain abundant reward. Allah has a wisdom in concealing the Greatest Name within His names, (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.
