He is Allah, there is no Power or God but him.
Allah has said ask from Me through mentioning My names (Hadis Qudsi).
Foreword
Religious scholars have related that Allah has three thousand Names. One thousand are only known by angels, 1,000 known only by prophets, 300 are in the Torah (Old Testament), 300 are in Zabur (Psalms of David), 300 are in the New Testament, and 99 are in the Qur'an. This makes 2,999 Names. One Name which has been hidden by Allah is called Ism Allah al-a'zam: The Greatest Name of Allah.
All of Allah's Names are great, but since He has hidden this particular Name it is referred to as The Greatest Name. The Name is mentioned in the Qur'an as this Hadis states:
Asma, radiyallahu anha, reports that Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: "The Greatest Name of Allah is in these two verses of the Qur'an, 'He who is worshipped by you is one God, there is no god but him, the Compassionate and the Beneficent (sura 11,163); also in the first part of sura Ali Imran, Alif Lam Mim--Allah, there is no god but him, the Alive, the Self-Subsisting."
Aisha, radiyallahu anha, mentioned that Ya Rab ( Oh Lord ) is the Greatest Name.
