Saying Allahu Akbar (God is Great), doesn't mean He is greater than something else, because there is nothing else for Him to be greater than.
It means He is too Great to be perceived by the senses and too deep to be understood by the intellect.
Too Great indeed, to be known by anything other than Him.
Only God (fully) knows God.
-Ahmad ibn Ata'illah

Ali At-Tantawi says we are using Earthly language to describe things from the world of the Unseen. We will never be able to fully comprehend what Allah's qualities mean.
