From the teachings of Hazrat Maulana Shah Abdur Raheem Sahab Dard (Rahmatullah Alaih)
Meaning
Allah is the proper Name of the One True God. It cannot be translated into any other language, and it belongs to no one but Him. All of His other beautiful Names are attributes gathered within this one Name, which is why the saints (awliya) have called it the Ism-e-A‘zam, the Greatest Name. Our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ attained all the blessings of this Name.
Understanding the Name
Allah says in the Qur’an: “Indeed, I am Allah; there is no god but Me, so worship Me and establish prayer for My remembrance” (Ta-Ha 20:14). Every other Name, such as Ar-Rahman, Al-Malik and Al-Quddus, describes one quality of the Being whose personal Name is Allah. When a believer says “Allah”, he calls upon all of these qualities at once.
The heart finds its rest in this remembrance: “Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest” (Ar-Ra‘d 13:28). That is why the mashaikh of tasawwuf give the dhikr of the Name Allah a central place on the path of purifying the heart.
Effects and reflections
Everything in all the worlds is under Allah’s influence, and He alone has power over all. Every blessing and every kind of well-being can therefore be sought through this Name.
The Prophet ﷺ taught us to take Allah’s Name before every task and in every state: Bismillah (in the Name of Allah) when beginning, Alhamdulillah (all praise is for Allah) in gratitude, Astaghfirullah when seeking forgiveness, Inna lillah at a time of loss, Masha’Allah on seeing something good, and Fi amanillah when bidding farewell.
Treatment (Amal)
A person troubled by doubts and suspicions should recite “Yā Allāh” 77 times after every prayer (Salah). Insha’Allah, the doubts will vanish, and faith and contentment will take their place.
For an illness that seems incurable, recite “Yā Allāh” abundantly; by the will of Allah, the illness will be cured, Insha’Allah.
