Name 78 of 99
الْمُتَعَالِي

Al-Muta'ali (الْمُتَعَالِي)

The Most Exalted

Linguistic Origins & Arabic Root

Root: ع - ل - و (A-L-W)

Etymology: Exalted far above any human imagination, partner, or flaw.

Same root: the root ع - ل - و (A-L-W) also gives Al-Aliyy.

Spelling & Pronunciation

Written: المتعالي — alif · lam · mim · ta · ayn · alif · lam · ya.

The article: Arabic mim (م) is a moon letter, so the lam of the definite article ال stays audible. The Name keeps its Al- form, unlike the fourteen sun letters, which absorb the lam.

Also written: Al-Mutaali, Al Muta'ali — all romanisations of المتعالي, which has no single official spelling in the Latin alphabet.

Mention in the Holy Quran

“Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, the Grand, the Exalted.”

— Surah Ar-Ra'd (13:9)

Spiritual Significance & Contemplation

Al-Muta'ali is exalted beyond comparison. No human thought, artistic rendering, or philosophical formulation can encompass Him.
