الله جل جلاله
Question
What is meaning of الله جَلَّ جَلَالُهٌ ( Allah Jalla Jala Luho ) with Zamma (piash ) on second Laam
and
الله جَلَّ جَلَالَهٌ ( Allah Jalla Jala Laho ) with fatkha (zabar ) on secnd Laam ?
Once a mufti sahib here told that dont say الله جَلَّ جَلَالَهٌ ( Allah Jalla Jala Laho ) because it is not correct to say and its meaning is not correct .
Is it correct or not ?
And whether it is impermissible to say الله جَلَّ جَلَالَهٌ ( Allah Jalla Jala Laho ) and
similarly to say الله جَلَّ شَانَهٌ (Allah Jalla Shanaho ) ?
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
The correct way of saying the phrase is Allah Jalla Jalāluhu, (with a dhammah). Saying it with a Fathā is grammatically wrong.
Jalla Jalāluhu (Arabic: جل جلاله) is an Islamic phrase translating to "Allah the Most Exalted".
Similarly is the phrase Allah Jalla Shānuhu, it is said with a dhamma not a fathā, saying it with a fathā is grammatically wrong.
Jalla Shānuhu (Arabic جل شانه) is an Islamic phrase translating to “Allah the Most Sublime”.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
