Our Sheikh is a great lover of Allah Ta'ala. How did he explain the name of Allah to us? The letter Alif in Allah is like the pole of the flag. Every country have a flag and they fly the flag high on special occasions. The flag of Allah Ta'ala is flying high all the time. The word Allah can be written in Arabic calligraphy in a different way. However, it is not permissible to write the name Allah in a different manner. It is only permissible to write the two Laams of Allah in the manner that it is generally written. The word “Yaseen” is in the Quraan Sharif and it is written without an Alif. However, when writing the name of a person, it has to be written with an Alif, but in the Quraan Sharif, it is written differently.

The two Laams in the word Allah is two crowns. Allah c is the king so this is His two crowns. Allah is not the king but He is the king of kings, therefore there is a Tashdeed on the laam which indicates that there are two crowns for Allah Ta'ala. In the end is the letter “Haa” which indicates that it is only He. There is no one else.

دل میرا ہوجاے ایک  میدان ہُو

تو ہی تو ہو تو ہی تو ہو تو ہی تو

May my heart be an open field

In it may it be only You, only You, only You

تیرے سوا معبود حقیقی کوئی نہیں ہے  کوئی نہیں

 Besides You there isn’t any true diety

On top of the Tashdeed of the Laam there is a Kharaa Zabar which is an exclamation mark. Is Allah really the greatest? He is the greatest! There is none other than Him that is so great. By this the greatness of Allah c comes into the heart.
