Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem

Wa'alaykum 'Assalam wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu,


Praise be to Allah who is the Lord of the Worlds, and may Endless Blessings be showered upon His Most Beloved and Final Messenger of Islam, Hadrat Muhammad Mustafa (Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa aalihi wa Sallam)



Jazak'Allah for your question. Since 'Miyah' is not one of the names of Allah the Almighty, then it should not be used. The Qur'an al kareem says:

'Wa lillahi asma'il husnaa'

'For Allah the Almighty are the great names'

Allah is referred to the name which is of the essence (dhat), as Rahman, Rahim, Karim, Ra'uf, Rahim, are His attributes, and are known as His 'sifat'.


Miyah, is niether dhat, nor sifat, therefore cannot be used in connection with Allah the Almighty. It is normally used for certain people, who come from a certain area of the sub-continent, hence, cannot be used for Allah the Almighty.


Jazakallahu Khayrann
