What is the difference between “Al-A’laa” and “Al-Azeem”? How does this compare with the definition of “Taa’la”, like in “Allah Subhana-wa-Taala”?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org

Please help me understand this.

Answer

Al-A’alaa means ‘most high’ and ‘lofty’ and Al-Azeem means ‘the greatest’.

The meaning of Ta’ala is similar to that of al-A’alaa referring to the
loftiness of Allah and him being most exalted. Al-Azeem refers to the
greatness of Allah Ta’ala in that He is the owner of all Power, might and
strength and everything besides Allah Ta’ala is small and insignificant.

and Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
