الْعَلِيُّ – AL- ALEE – The Most High, The Exalted
The Arabic phrase “الْعَلِيُّ” (Al-Alee) is one of the names or attributes of Allah in Islamic theology. It is derived from the root word “ع ل و” (A-L-W), which conveys the meaning of highness, loftiness, and exaltation. The name “Al-Alee” is often translated as “The Most High” or “The Exalted.”
In Islamic belief, Allah is understood to be infinitely high above and beyond His creation. The attribute of being “The Most High” emphasizes Allah’s transcendence and absolute superiority over everything in existence. This attribute is a source of awe and reverence for Muslims, reminding them of the greatness and majesty of Allah.
The concept of Allah being “The Most High” is deeply rooted in the Qur’an, the holy book of Islam. The Qur’an describes Allah using various names and attributes, each conveying different aspects of His nature and characteristics. The name Al-Alee serves to highlight the supreme and elevated status of Allah in the Islamic understanding.
Muslims often use the names and attributes of Allah in their prayers and supplications, seeking guidance, mercy, and blessings from The Most High. The recognition of Allah’s exalted status is central to Islamic monotheism, emphasizing the oneness and uniqueness of Allah in comparison to His creation.
