Question:
This questioner says: Are The First and The Last among the names of Allah (Mighty and Majestic)?

Answer:
Yes, without doubt. Allah the Exalted said:
He is the First and the Last, the Ascendant and the Intimate, and He is, of all things, Knowing.هُوَ الْأَوَّلُ وَالْآخِرُ وَالظَّاهِرُ وَالْبَاطِنُ وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ
[Al-Hadid 57:3]
And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said in his supplication:
You are the First and there is nothing after You; You are the Last and there is nothing after You. You are the Most High, and there is nothing above You, and You are the Most Near and there is nothing nearer than You.أنت الأول فليس قبلك شيء، وأنت الآخر فليس بعدك شيء، وأنت الظاهر فليس فوقك شيء، وأنت الباطن فليس دونك شيء
Sunan Ibn Majah 3831Sahih (Darussalam)
