Ism-e-il’a’hi (Allah’s Divine Names)

Ism-e-il’a’hi (Allah’s Divine Names)
The law of the Loh-e-Mehfooz conveys to us that the remotest beginning up until now is all the miraculous working of a Word. The present, future, and the time in between the very beginning up until now is nothing but the utterance of a Word. This Word is Allah’s Name. It is the various forms of this Name that have caused new creations to come into existence and will continue to do so. It is Allah’s Name that is controlling the entire universe. There are many forms of this Word or Name. For every kind of Name or Word, there exists a leader, and it is this leading Name that controls all the Names of its own kind. The leading Name too is a Name of Allah, and it is this Name that we call Ism-e-Azam (the Greatest Name).
The existence of Names is nothing but lights. All the lights that each form has, and even the Names that control these lights, are all compounded from lights. These Names are the constituents of all the matter that exists in the universe. For example, the Name that sustains all the senses and the desires contained within a human being is the leader of all those Names, and it is this Name that we call Ism-e-Azam.
