Allah

“Allah” is the proper Name of the Divine Reality, the supreme Name encompassing every attribute of perfection without exception. The other Names each indicate a particular meaning, whereas this Name designates the One to whom worship and lordship belong, without partner or resemblance to creation. In al-Ghazali’s perspective, the servant’s share is to turn the whole heart and aspiration toward Allah: hoping in, fearing, and truly worshipping Him alone, recognizing that every created existence depends upon Him, and purifying intention and action for His sake.
