9عالِمُ الغَيبِ وَالشَّهادَةِ الكَبيرُ المُتَعالِMuhammad AsadHe knows all that is beyond the reach of a created being's perception as well as all that can be witnessed by a creature's senses or mind1 - the Great One, the One far above anything that is or could ever be!2See surah 6, note 65.God's attribute al-muta'al, which occurs in the Qur'an only in this one instance, denotes His infinite exaltedness above anything existing or potential; also, according to Zamakhshari, above anything that could be circumscribed by human definitions. (See in this connection the last sentence of 6:100 and the corresponding note 88.)
