### Question:
What is the meaning of extolling Allah? 

### Answer:
Extolling Allah means praising Him a lot; i.e., (saying): You are Al-Rahim (The Most Merciful), You are Al-Rahman (The Most Gracious), You are Al-Jawad (The Bountiful), You are A l-Karim (The Generous), You are Al-Muhsin (The Beneficent), You are the Possessor of all goodness, You favored (Your) Servants, You are the One sought for help in distress, in Your Hand is all goodness, and You have the full disposition of everything. This is Extolment, that is, expressing praise of Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He).
