Some names possess general meanings and can be applied instead of several other names,[9] "... as far as will be ended to a/the name that there won't be another name(s) higher than that, and is called Esm-A'zam or Ismullah al-Akbar" (of course Ismullah al-Akbar has been applied to another meaning, too).[9][10][11]

In Shi'a Islam, Ismul A'zam is believed to have a powerful effect in the act of blessing.[9] According to Islamic hadiths, whoever calls Allah using this term, his or her dua will be granted.[9][12][13]
