Oneness and permanence
Allāh ٱللَّٰه
The proper name of the Divine Being: the One truly worshipped, to whom every other name returns as a description.

Why Allah uses this name
It is the name no created thing shares, so wherever it stands the address is to a named, known God rather than a vague power; Ibn Kathīr notes that the other beautiful names are all descriptions of the One called by it.
Take this with you
Whatever the āyah asks of you — praise, obedience, patience, fear — it is asked by a God who has told you His name.
Ibn Kathīr: Allāh is the name reserved for the Blessed and Exalted alone; no one else has ever been named by it, and it is described by all the other beautiful names.
Ibn Kathīr, Tafsīr al-Qurʾān al-ʿAẓīm, on 1:1–2
