However, all other Divine Names besides the majestic word Allah are all expressions of that same Holy Essence, in each of which a specific attribute of the Divine characteristics exists.
The difference between the word "Allah" and other names and attributes of the Truth is that this word indicates an Existence in which imaginings, fantasies, and intellects are bewildered, and it is outside the two extremes of negation and anthropomorphism.
