Bearing the name Al-`Aly

Q: I am submitting my inquiry to your Eminence, to inform you that I have torn my identity card which includes my full name that includes one of Allah's Names which is "Al-`Alyy" (The Most High) written in this form: `Aly Sa`d Hasan Al-`Aly Al-Zahrany. And since Highness is only due to Allah (Exalted be He), this name is troubling me. Therefore, would you please advise me in this regard, so that my heart can rest in peace? May Allah reward you the best of everything on behalf of all Muslims.


A: If the reality is as you have mentioned, there is no blame on you, for this name is your grandfather's not yours, and because this name is meant for `Aly's family not for Allah's Name "Al-`Alyy".May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
