Al-Ism al-Aʿẓam (Arabic: الاسم الأعظم), literally "the Greatest Name", also known as Ism Allah al-Akbar (اسم الله الأکبر, 'the Greatest Name of God'), refers in Islam to the greatest name of Allah, known only to the prophets.
Significance
According to some Islamic hadiths, whoever calls to God using al-Ism al-A'zam, his or her prayer (du'a) will be granted.
In Shi'a Islam, al-Ism al-A'zam is believed to have a powerful effect in the act of blessing.
