Most people see God to an extent and hence have faith in him. What they don't know is how they see him, how they are connected to him. This reality of how they see him, how they are connected to him, is known as God's Name and face.
The Quran begins "by the name of God....all praise is to God...". Highest Praise of course belongs to God alone. His holy titles belong to him. But the verse is pointing to something all humans even Atheist acknowledge. That is praise. It's saying all praise you come to know of, that is in fact a praise to God through his name. What does this say? His name connects praise to God, such that everything we praise is a manifestation of God himself. That most essential of these manifestations is the signs of God in the soul and in the horizons.
Through his name, praises in the soul are signs of God. Through his name, we come to realize all beautiful titles belong to God.
