To Allah belongs the most beautiful names. So, call Him by them. [7:180]
This is the Greatest Name of our creator according to many scholars. It is also the most specific and exclusive name of Allah as no one else is referred to by it. All other names are defined and attributed to Allah. This name is the one most frequently mentioned in the Quran and the Sunnah. Allah is the name used by Muslims around the world to refer to the Lord of the Worlds no matter their native language, even non-Muslim Arabs and others use this name.
Allah is a unique name, it indicates the only being in existence who truly possesses the qualities of divinity and lordship. This name belongs to Allah alone. No one else can claim this name.
Allah is the proper name for the only one who is worthy of worship, the one whom all creation praises and glorifies.
The name “Allah” is comprised of letters and sounds that are easy for all to pronounce. The letters “A, L, H” are easy on the tongue and soft on the lips. A child, an adult, an Arab, a non-Arab have no difficulty in its pronunciation.
Allah is the one that the hearts and souls revere and long for. All of creation depends on Allah every single moment. Everything and Everyone is sustained by Allah.
Allah is the name mentioned in the testimony of faith via which an unbeliever enters the fold of Islam. Allah is the name taken before we slaughter an animal and Allah is the name that the ill ones call out “Ya Allah, Ya Allah” at times of difficulty.
Ya Allah guide us to you.
Ya Allah increase our love for you.
Ya Allah shower your mercies upon us.
Ya Allah purify our hearts and our souls.
Ameen.
