He is the Knower of the Invisible and the Visible, the Great, the High Exalted

Renungan

Al-Muta‘ālī is The Most Exalted — exalted above every description, every limitation, every frame. When you think you have grasped something of His nature, Al-Muta‘ālī reminds you: higher still. The exaltation is not arrogance. It is accuracy. He is always more than you think.

Grand and Exalted together. Not just high in rank but grand in scope. His exaltation encompasses everything.

Doa

Said in sujūd — from the lowest position, you declare the highest truth.

Hadis
