Alláh-u-Abhá (, Allāhu Abhā: "God is Most Glorious") is an invocation in the Bahá'í Faith, and an expression of the "Greatest Name". It is used as a greeting that Baháʼís may use when they meet each other. It can be compared to the takbīr and tasbīḥ of Islam, i.e. the Arabic phrases Allāhu ʾAkbar ("God is Great") and Subḥān Allāh ("How Pure is God").
