Al-Ali
العلي
Name of Allah
The Most High — elevation above all creation.
Overview
Al-Ali — The Most High: elevation above all creation.
The form العلي occurs in 9 ayahs (for example 2:255, 9:40, 20:4). Those passages are listed below, found by matching the Arabic word form rather than the translation.
The enumeration of ninety-nine names comes from a hadith, not from the Quran, and the lists differ between narrations. IslamicGraph records the traditional set and shows, for each name, the ayat where that exact Arabic form occurs — so what rests on the Quran and what rests on the enumeration stay visible as different things.

Al-Kabir and Al-Ali occur together in the same ayah 4 times. The pairing is a feature of the text itself — these are the ayat where both names are named, found by matching the Arabic word forms, not an editorial grouping.

وَلَا تَنفَعُ ٱلشَّفَٰعَةُ عِندَهُۥٓ إِلَّا لِمَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُۥ ۚ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا فُزِّعَ عَن قُلُوبِهِمْ قَالُوا۟ مَاذَا قَالَ رَبُّكُمْ ۖ قَالُوا۟ ٱلْحَقَّ ۖ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَلِىُّ ٱلْكَبِيرُ
