Why Allah uses this name
The Prophet ﷺ taught persistence with this name in duʿāʾ, and it closes Sūrat — majesty and generosity named together as the sūrah's whole argument.
Take this with you
Hold awe and hope in the same breath; the name refuses to separate them.
The Prophet ﷺ said: 'Be constant with Yā Dhā al-Jalāli wal-Ikrām.'
