Al-Ali — ٱلْعَلِيّ

The Most High · The Sublime

بلند و بالا

Root: ع-ل-و — To be high, above, transcendent

Category: Names of Power & Sovereignty · In the Quran: 8 times


Meaning — English

Al-Ali is absolutely transcendent — above all things in His essence, attributes, power, and authority. Nothing is above Him. This transcendence is not spatial but ontological — He is of a different order of reality than anything created.


معنی — اردو

العلی ذات، صفات، قدرت اور اختیار میں سب سے بلند ہے — کوئی اس سے اوپر نہیں۔


In Daily Life

Prostrating to Al-Ali in Sujood — the most exalted being, and you with your forehead on the ground — is the most honest physical expression of the Creator-creation relationship.
