الشرح والدلالة · Explanation
العلي هو الرفيع القدر، العالي على جميع خلقه.
Al-Aliyy means 'The Most High' or 'The Exalted'. It signifies that Allah is above all creation in status, power, and perfection. His loftiness is not physical but in terms of His majesty, authority, and attributes. He is above any imperfection, above any comparison, and above the comprehension of His creation. He is the Highest, and nothing is above Him. Quran References: 'He is the Most High (Al-Aliyy), the Magnificent' (2:255). 'Exalted is Allah, the True King' (20:114). Spiritual Significance: Al-Aliyy reminds us of Allah's absolute supremacy. It humbles the servant and inspires devotion. Benefit: Reciting Al-Aliyy elevates one's spiritual station, brings honor, and protects from lowly pursuits. It is beneficial for those seeking to rise above worldly concerns.
