SURAH Al-Muzzammil 73: (The Wrapped up one)
This Surah is Makki, and it has 20 verses and 2 Sections.
With the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Very-Merciful

(And remember the name of your Lord, and devote yourself to Him with exclusive devotion... 73:8)

COMMENTARY: Remembrance of Allah through Repetition of His Personal Name - The verse under comment whilst enjoining Zikrullah (remembrance of Allah) has referred to it as 'remembrance of the name of Allah by saying: "And remember the name of your Lord." [73:81] and not just "And remember your Lord."

This indicates that the repetition of Allah's personal name 'Allah, Allah' is also desired and required form of Zikr and Worship. [MAZHARI]

Some scholars say that such repetition of His personal name is an 'innovation' (bid'ah), but this opinion is not correct. And Allah knows best!

THE ILL-WISHER vs A FRIEND

The ill-wishing eye, be it torn out
Sees only defects in his virtue.
But if thou possessest one virtue and seventy faults
A friend sees nothing except that virtue.
