ʿAlyaʾ comes from the root ʿ-l-w of height: the old dictionaries use it for any elevated place and for a mountain top, and figuratively for nobility and high rank; it has also been said of the sky. It should not be confused with ʿAliya, “high, lofty”, or with ʿUlya, “the highest”, two other words from the same root. The name is given in the Arab world and, in the form Alya, it is also popular in Turkey.
If you do not aid him [i.e., the Prophet (ﷺ)] - Allāh has already aided him when those who disbelieved had driven him out [of Makkah] as one of two, when they were in the cave and he [i.e., Muḥammad (ﷺ)] said to his companion, "Do not grieve; indeed Allāh is with us." And Allāh sent down His tranquility upon him and supported him with soldiers [i.e., angels] you did not see and made the word of those who disbelieved the lowest, while the word of Allāh - that is the highest. And Allāh is Exalted in Might and Wise.
