The triliteral root ʿayn lām wāw (ع ل و) occurs in the Quran 70 times.


(2:255) God, there is no god but He, the Living, the Sustainer. No sunnah or sleep overtakes Him; to Him belongs all that is in the heavens and in the earth. Who will intercede with Him except by His leave? He knows their present and their future, and they do not have any of His knowledge except for what He wishes. His throne encompasses all of the heavens and the earth and it is easy for Him to preserve them. He is the High (Arab. الْعَلِيُّ, l-ʿaliyu), the Great.


(20:114) Then exalted (above all) (Arab. فَتَعَالَى, fataʿālā) is God, the King, the Truth. Do not be hasty with the Quran before its inspiration is completed to you, and say, "My Lord, increase my knowledge."
