The answer

The verse: ﴿Blessed be the name of your Lord, Owner of Majesty and Honor﴾ means that Allah is to be glorified and honored by His creation, and that His name is blessed and of great blessing. "Owner of Majesty and Honor" (Dhul-Jalali wal-Ikram) is one of Allah's Most Beautiful Names, and it may be the Greatest Name. The noble Hadith: "Adhere to 'O Owner of Majesty and Honor'" means to cling to this supplication, say it often, and be persistent in it during prayer, for it is a supplication of great significance. Scholars have differed in their opinions regarding the superiority of Allah's Names, and the doctrine of the Ahl al-Sunnah is that Allah's Names and Attributes vary in merit, and some are more blessed than others.
