{’’ ذِي الْجَلٰلِ وَ الْاِكْرَامِ ‘‘} is such a blessed name of Allah that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) emphasized reciting it abundantly. Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: [ أَلِظُّوْا بِيَا ذَا الْجَلاَلِ وَالإِْكْرَامِ ] [ ترمذي، الدعوات، باب : ۳۵۲۴، وقال الألباني صحیح ] "Hold fast to {’’ يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَ الإِْكْرَامِ ‘‘}, adhere to it." {’’أَلِظُّوْا‘‘ ’’أَلَظَّ يُلِظُّ إِلْظَاظًا‘‘} is from a source whose meaning is "to cling." The command of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to adhere to it shows how blessed this name is.

[47] The personal name of the Lord is Allah, and Rahman is both a personal and an attributive name. All the other names of Allah are attributive. Among them, Dhul-Jalal wal-Ikram is a very blessed attributive name. That is, Allah Himself is full of greatness and honor, and He is the one who grants honor to others and bestows kindness and favor upon them. As mentioned in these verses regarding His kindness and favor upon the people of Paradise, then when His name itself is so blessed, how blessed must His sacred essence be! And it is mentioned in the hadith that after every prayer, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would first say Allahu Akbar, then say Astaghfirullah three times. After that, he would recite this dhikr: ﴿اللّٰھُمَّ أنْتَ السَّلاَمُ وَمِنْکَ السَّلاَمُ تَبَارَکْتَ یَا ذَالْجَلاَلِ وَالاِکْرَام﴾ [مسلم، کتاب المساجد ومواضع الصلوٰۃ، باب استحباب الذکر بعد الصلوۃ و بیان صفۃ]
