الشرح والدلالة · Explanation
المتعالي هو الرفيع عن كل نقص، المتعالي بذاته.
Al-Muta'ali means 'The Exalted' or 'The Supreme'. It signifies that Allah is exalted above all creation in His essence, attributes, and authority. He is above any imperfection, above any comparison, and above any need. His exaltation is absolute and beyond human comprehension. He is far above what the wrongdoers ascribe to Him. Quran References: 'Exalted is Allah above what they associate with Him' (9:31). 'He is exalted in might, the All-Wise' (2:129). Spiritual Significance: Al-Muta'ali reminds us of Allah's absolute transcendence. He is far above any imperfection or limitation. Benefit: Reciting Al-Muta'ali purifies faith from false concepts about Allah, elevates one's understanding of His majesty, and protects from anthropomorphism.
