The High – The Most High – The Exalted

He is the High One in His status, power and Self, and the Exalted One before Whom all else stand in humiliation. Nothing is above Him. Everything falls under His power and authority.

The name ‘the High’ occurs 8 times in the Qur’an. For example: {And the preservation of both of them tires Him not, and He is the High, the Magnificent.} [Sūrat Al-Baqarah: 255] The name ‘the Most High’ occurs in the verse that says, {Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High.} [Sūrat Al-A‘la: 1]

As for the name ‘the Exalted’, it occurs once in the Qur’an in a verse that reads, {[He is] the Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, the Great, the Exalted.} [Sūrat Al-Ra‘d: 9] In light of these sublime names, I would say:

  1. Allah Almighty is worthy of being exalted; whereas it is only appropriate for created beings to submit to their Lord, accept His Shariah and be humble before His creation.
  2. Always remember that how high you become, Allah is Higher and has greater power over you. So, let not your transient and limited highness drive you to oppress others, for tyrants and oppressors get nothing from Allah Almighty but humiliation and disappointment. {They sought Our judgment. And every obstinate tyrant opposed to the Truth was brought to naught.} [Sūrat Ibrahīm: 15]
  3. It is good here to note the meaning of this verse: {For those who do not believe in the Hereafter is the evil attributes, whereas for Allah is the highest attributes. He is the All-Mighty, All-Wise.} [Sūrat Al-Nahl: 60] That is Allah Almighty Who possesses the best and most perfect attributes from every aspect. Those who do not believe in the Hereafter, on the other hand, possess evil attributes of disbelief, polytheism and ignorance.
