بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْم
Allah is Adh-Dhaahir or The Most Great is above everything and nothing is above Him. While Al-Baatin means Allah is nearest to everything and everyone due to His full awareness of all secrets and what is yet more hidden. Both name occurred once (in Surat Al-Hadeed, 57:3),
هُوَ الأوَّلُ وَالآخِرُ وَالظَّاهِرُ وَالْبَاطِنُ وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ
“He is The First and The Last, The Outward and The Inward; He has full knowledge of all things.”
