Why Allah uses this name
It closes the āyah on His knowledge of the unseen and the witnessed, so exaltedness is stated as the reason nothing is hidden from Him.
Take this with you
Nothing about you is beneath His notice, and nothing about Him is measured by your standards.
'Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, the Grand, the Exalted ()' (13:9).
Qurʾān 13:9
Where it appears in the Qur'an
Counted from the muṣḥaf text as served by the Quran.com API. A few occurrences describe someone other than Allah; read the āyah in place to see which.
