isme-zaat
in islam, they say there are two aspects of 'God' which they call - zaatee (original,as-is, nirguNa) and sifaatee (perceptive\qualitative - guNAtmaka\ identifier through attributes). so they say 'Allah' is the zaati identity (for muslims the 'only' zaati identity), and other names like Rahim, Karim etc are sifaati names. sufis also use 'Hu' as symbolic\zaati name.
