Al-A’la

The Most High

Exalted and Glorious

Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most High.  (87:1)

This is another attribute of Allah which means the Most High.  Allah is the Real King and above all.  He is the Most High and Mighty.

When the verse (87:1) was revealed, the Messenger of Allah, may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him, said: “Oh you, recite the prayer.  ‘Glory be to my Lord, the Exalted,’ three times during your supplication.”

Allah Allah Allah
