The answer

The Most High (Al-A'la): He is the One who possesses absolute transcendence in His essence, attributes, power, and dominance. He is inherently exalted above His creation, described by every perfection, and dominant over all things.

The Most Generous (Al-Akram): He is immensely generous, extending vast benevolence to His creation. He is the most excellent and perfect in His attributes, and His generosity is unparalleled.

The God (Al-Ilah): He is the worshipped One, uniquely deserving of worship. The name "Allah" is the root of "Al-Ilah," and it encompasses all attributes of perfection and majesty.

The First (Al-Awwal): He is the One before whom there was nothing, indicating His unique perfection, temporal encompassment, and that everything besides Him is originated.
