| Alláh-u-Abhá |
|
| Pronunciation: Alláh-ho-Ab-há |
|
| [Ar] God is Most Glorious, God is All-Glorious. A form of the Greatest Name, used as a greeting among Bahá'ís. It replaced ‘Alláh-u-Akbar' (God is Most Great), the greeting of Islam, during the years Bahá'u'lláh lived in Adrianople, although the Báb had approved both of these greetings as well as ‘Alláh-u-Ajmal' (God is Most Beauteous). Shoghi Effendi directed that ‘Alláh-u-Abhá' should not be said at the end of prayers and advised not to use it indiscriminately in public in the West lest it give the impression of the Faith being a strange Oriental sect. |

|
| God is All-Glorious. The Greatest Name, adopted during the period of Bahá'u'lláh's exile in Adrianople as a greeting among Bahá'ís. (GPB 176). Another form of the Greatest Name—not used as a greeting but an invocation—is Yá Bahá'u'l-Abhá, O Thou the Glory of Glories! |
