ALLAH'S GREATEST NAME

(Subhanahu wa ta'ala - Glory be to Him, the Most High)

(Tabaraka wa-taʿālā - Blessed and exalted [is He])

ʿ(Azza wa-jall - Prestigious and majestic /

Mighty and sublime)

(Jalla jalāluh - Most exalted [is He])

Please note that the four honorifics cited above following Allah's name (Subhanahu wa ta'ala - Glory be to Him, the Most High) can be found in Wikipedia. The link is Islamic honorifics - Wikipedia.

One important point is that Insha-Allah they should not be abbreviated. For example, it is common practice to substitute SWT for (Subhanahu wa ta'ala - Glory be to Him, the Most High) but many of the Shaykhs - the scholars - warn that such a practice should be shunned and that SWT means nothing.

If you have reverted to Islam then think about it this way - if you cannot spare your Lover - for that is who Allah is (Subhanahu wa ta'ala - Glory be to Him, the Most High), He's your Lover and your Friend - enough time and space to write (Subhanahu wa ta'ala - Glory be to Him, the Most High) in full, then there is something seriously amiss and you need to rethink your relationship with your Beloved.

It is quite correct that He is to be held in absolute awe and feared in the sense that you know you must 'Hear and Obey' - His laws must be respected; but regardless of His might, His power, it is essential to see Him as your Lover and your Friend.

There is an important precept in Islam and that is that Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala - Glory be to Him, the Most High) will treat you in accordance with your expectations of Him.

In other words, if you expect Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala - Glory be to Him, the Most High) to love you and take care of you, that is how He will treat you.

Don't make the horrifying mistake of thinking that Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala - Glory be to Him, the Most High) hates you - that He doesn't love you and care about you. It is a path that can lead to a nightmare.

Even though Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala - Glory be to Him, the Most High) is your creator and is Rabbil Alamin (The Lord of the Worlds) and His power, His might is utterly beyond our comprehension, He is still your Lover and Friend and many of the Shaykhs emphasize just how important this is.

There is one final point I wish to make - don't take His love for you for granted and abuse that love by committing sins and thinking that He will forgive you.

It is unwise and there is a classic example in the Holy Qur'an where one of His most loved Prophets (alayhim as-salam - may the peace of Allah be upon them) shunned such a path and out of fear of Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala - Glory be to Him, the Most High) fled from a situation that could have proved to be disastrous.
