Al-Ghaffar

The Perpetual forgiver. the one who forgives repeatedly. Everytime you return he meets you with forgiveness. Empansizes thr quantity of forgiveness.

Al Ghaffar forgives the repeated sins

Duaa:Ya Ghaffar (غفّار), for every time I fall and rise again, meet me with another chance. Let my heart grow softer with every repentance and my view of the door of Your mercy only grow wider

Al-Ghafur

The Encompassing , All forgiving. Most intense form of forgiveness and most mentioned in the quran. Emphasizes the quality of forgiveness. Al Ghafur forgives sins you did not even realize you committed in the first place. The seen and the unseen sins, the obvious and subtle.

Al-Ghafur forgives the biggest sins you thought would ruin you and the ones you couldn’t even recall.

.

Duaa:Ya Ghafur (غفور), for You have never tired of forgiving me despite my constant sins. Cover what I've done and what I still may do. Wash away every hidden trace of my wrongdoing and turn the stains of my past into light on my scrolls. Reach me with Your forgiveness even in the holes that I've dug for myself.

At-Tawwab

The acceptor of Repentance. Calls you back to him. The prophet ص said that if you did not sin Allah would replace you with a people who would sin and then seek his forgiveness. So that he could forgive them.

Allah turns to you before you can turn to him and he rewards you as if its not your fault in the first place. Despite my sins turn me back to you.

Ya Tawwab (توّاب), turn towards me so that I may turn back to You and call me back every time I drift and accept me every time I return. Make repentance my constant companion and joy and Jannah my reward in finding You again.

Al Wadud

The most loving. Allah's name is Al-Wadud, the Loving. But there's a difference in our tradition between hubb and wud. Hubb can be a mere feeling of love. Wud is love translated into action. We're more used to the word habib, which also means beloved one. Al-Wadud is the one who loves and acts upon His love. And when Allah 'azza wa jall loves you, it never stops at just feelings. He announces that love throughout the heavens.Wud is to love someone and then to constantly look for them and do what they love for them. He is Al-Wadud, the one who loves and acts upon his love. And His messenger is Al-Habib, ﷺ, the most beloved who was always seeking His Lord's pleasure. So when you follow Al-Habib, you enter into the circle of Al-Wadud. And just like no one else loves you like Allah, no one else deserves to be loved the way you love Allah.

Ya Wadud (الودود), love me even after I falter, and let Your love reach me through every mercy I overlook. Teach me to love You more than what You give, and to find sweetness in every test that draws me closer to Your love. Announce Your love for me in the heavens until I hear that announcement myself in Paradise. Surround me with it in everything around me, and let me feel it deep inside myself

Al Mushin

The Doer of Good.08:47

fasting from just before sunrise to sunset that sometimes ends with feasting, your charity that didn't sting too much, He gives you Jannah in return. He takes your one dollar and He turns it into mountains of gold. The tasbih that barely cost you a breath earns you a palace in Jannah. That's Him being Muhsin to you for what you do between you and Him. And when it involves being a Muhsin to others, Allah Azza wa Jalla even rewards more. And your ihsan can sometimes come in the smallest extra details because al-Muhsin pays attention to the smallest things that you do for Him and then rewards it unimaginably

Ya Muhsin (المحسن), You perfect everything You touch. Make me one of those who do good because You do good. Guide me to the ways of good in every single one of my dealings. Then let my deeds of excellence to others be a reflection of Your unmatched perfection

The Shakur

The Most appreciative

Now what's the difference between shukr and ihsān? Ihsān is more general in that you may show it to someone who did nothing for you, like overlooking a shortcoming or holding a door for a stranger or picking up a piece of garbage from in front of someone's house. But shukr is specifically how you show appreciation for good. So al-muhsin won't be outmatched in the extra effort that goes beyond what's deserved. And ash-Shakūr will not be outmatched in thanking someone for any good that they put forth. And as He appreciates even your smallest deed, think about how many humans deny the most significant good done to them. When you realize His blessings upon you, you're increased in your love towards Him.

Ya Shakur (الشكور), for every small effort I make, reward me beyond measure. Let me never grow tired of thanking You and never forget that gratitude itself is a gift from You. Accept from me what is broken and multiply it until it becomes whole.

As-Sami

The all hearing, the one who hears all. Who hears everyone and everything all at the same time. Hears every voice and even what hasnt become sound yet. He hears the hidden, the secret and what is even more hidden. He hears your heart and what you actually want and he acts upon it in a way that goes far beyond what you could ever want.

Duaa: Ya Sami (السميع), your hear every sound before its spoken, and every silence before it finds words. Inspire me the words that are pleasing to you. Make sincere the dua that I utter between breaths, and even the ones I make loud alongside others. Let me never doubt that your are listening, and never tire of my calling.

Al Qarib

The one who is close to us, closer than out jugular vein. He is close to everyone in his awareness, but he is closer to believer with his awareness and mercy. Because closeness demands a step. Qurbani means sacrifice. Qurb meaning closeness. Ibrahim As was willingness to lay down his son to get closer. Are you willing to lay down your time, your pride, your habits even your comfort. Each step of sacrifice is an act of closeness. Al Qareeb isnt a concept you talk about, he is a closeness that you live. Closeness to Allah is the greatest gift before you even ask him for anything.

Duaa: Ya Qarib (القريب), you are nearer than every thought I hide. Let me feel your nearness in the stillness of my prayer. Let the clarity and comfort of your closeness cut through all the noise outside and forgive me for what should have never made it inside

Al Mujeeb

The responsive. The one who responds when we call. Al Qareeb comes before Al Mujeeb. He brings you close to him so he can answer you in the best way. A sincere prayer and a pure heart. He knows the needs of needy before they ask and he answers the unspoken prayers with the wisdom of his timing. Duaa isnt about informing him it’s about transforming you. That only happens through bringing you closer to him. Everytime you ask you move closer. Everytime you fall into sujood you cry your heart out he fills your heart with him before he fills your hands with what you asked him for. Dont ask so much for posses-ion and forget the greatest possession he can give you is a position near to him.

Duaa:Ya Mujeeb (المجيب), answer, not only what I ask, but what I mean. Give me what I would have prayed for, if I knew what was best for me. When I raise my hands to you, fill them only with what draws them closer to you, and protect me from ever believing that an answer is not possible, or questioning you.

Al Mu’min

The granter of faith and safety. He secure your outside from harm and your inside from doubt. Provides security and safety to a Mu’min by blocking the path of danger. While assuring the creatures they wont be dealt unjustly. The granter of safety and faith and with that comes serene hearts and steadfast feet. And that inner peace is a promise that when you protects his limits he protects your soul. When you stand for truth, he solidifies it inside you. He makes you believe in him and then proves to you that your belief was never in vain. He also comforts you in that fear of losing what you love.

Duaa: Ya Mu’min (المؤمن), you grant faith and safety beyond all fear. Place within me a certainty no doubt can disturb. Anchor my heart in your promise and shield my soul from every whisper that weakens trust. Make reliance upon you heavier than any worry that approaches me.

Al Muhaymin

The overseeing Protector. Haymina means supervise watch and protector. It takes you from inner saving to surrounding protection. Its not like Allah set the playing field , put faith in your heart and then just let the match go. He owns the field itself and he is always watching and observing. He observes you to catch you when you fall. When you feel unseen you feel most seen by him, when you are about to walk in harms way he sets an obstacle to re direct you. If there is temporary victory for them over you, he guaranteed the final score.Al Mu min settles the deep inside and Al Muhyamin surrounds you from all directions,

Duaa:Ya Muhaymin (المهيمن), you oversee all things without sleep or neglect. Guard me in moments unseen by others. Protect me from harms apparent and hidden. Be my defense against what I perceive yet cannot alter, and against what I do not perceive at all.

Al Hafeedh

The perserver. Think of this as the third wall of the fortress. Al-Hafidh is the One who guards His promise, and He keeps you in His possession. And when the plan supposedly fails, He brings it all back to what it was always meant to be. It is He who preserves the heavens and the earth from collapse and the hearts and the souls from despair. And then the glorious Qur'an from corruption.
Yacub and Yusuf “Allah is the Best Preserver”

could say after losing one child in Yusuf and about to lose another in Binyamin, فَاللَّهُ خَيْرُ حَافِظًا وَهُوَ أَرْحَمُ الْرَّاحِمِينَ Allah is the best preserver, and He is the most merciful of the merciful. So we often forget that Allah wasn't only preserving Yusuf. He was preserving Yaqub for two decades. How? His heart, his mind, his faith, his sincerity. Because this was also a trial for him. And just like Hajar, Yaqub knew that Allah never lost anyone or anything, even when other people told him to give up hope of his son ever returning to him. Al-Hafidh even guards the story itself.

Duaa: Ya Hafeedh (الحفيظ), you preserve what would otherwise be lost. Safeguard my faith through hardship and time. Protect those I love when distance separates us. Secure the blessings I failed to acknowledge and do not leave me to rely on my own limited strength.

Al Wakeel

the ultimate trustee.ultimate trustee and disposer of your affairs. This is now when you actively delegate to Him because you're well aware of all the attributes we just mentioned. Al-Mu'min gave you faith. Al-Muhaymin guarded you. Al-Hafidh preserved you. Now Al-Wakil invites you to hand it all over to Him with complete trust and confidence. وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّه�� ۚ وَكَفَىٰ بِاللَّهِ وَكِيلًا ۚ Put your trust in Allah, and sufficient is Allah as your trustee. Now trusting Allah doesn't mean removing yourself from the equation. It means recognizing that He's the part of the equation that actually brings about the results. It's your heart being settled with Him while your hands keep working, not some sort of superficial stamp on your plans. He's your first option, not just your last resort. حَسْبِيَ اللَّهِ means Allah is sufficient for me, whether I'm alone.

And Imam Malik rahimahullah had a ring that had those very words engraved on it. حَسْبِيَ

اللَّهِ وَنِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ And he was asked, "Why did you choose these words for your ring?" He said, "Because the very next ayah shows that no one says these words except that deliverance comes right after." فَانْقَلَبُوا بِنِعْمَةٍ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَفَضْلٍ لَمْ يَمْسَسْهُمْ سُوءٌ وَاتَّبَعُوا

Duaa: Ya Wakeel (الوكيل), you are sufficient as the disposer of all affairs. I entrust to you what I can manage and what overwhelms me. Take control of what confuses me and bear what I cannot carry. Make your decree more beloved to me than my own desires, for you alone are enough regardless of what I possess.

Al-Basir

Duaa:Ya Basir (O All-Seeing): You see what no one else sees—every tear I hide, every effort unnoticed, every quiet act of good. Let me find comfort in being seen by You when I feel invisible to the rest of the world.

Al-Shahid

Ash-Shahid is the ever-present witness who testifies for you and to you. It means that He is present in every scene, not just watching it. And He bears witness to every truth.a Shahid validates your unseen labor that no one else saw. He witnesses the time you held yourself in pain and only responded to that pain with patience and piety. And even with others, He witnesses that time you held your tongue or swallowed your pain that no one else noticed.

He called the martyr whose pain He saw all along a Shahid, a witness, because the Shahid bears witness to Allah's reward and how He saw them in their pain and honored them for their sacrifice.

Duaa: Be my witness when my intentions are pure. And when they falter, let my fear of You set them aright. Let me live conscious that You are always truly watching and die as one who lived truthfully under Your sight.

Ar-Raqib

Ar-Raqib, the ever-watchful. A Muraqib is someone who is watching you and accounting you.You observe Allah and He observes you. You start to observe Allah with everything around you, glorifying Him, seeking Him, and trusting Him. Ibn al-Qayyim rahimahullah says, "The sign of true Muraqaba of Allah's sight is to prefer what Allah has revealed to magnify what He magnified and to treat as small what He treated as small." So you take this Muraqaba and you use it not just to discourage you from sins, but to push you to secret good deeds. I always tell people, "Let there be a good deed so secretive between you and Allah that you look forward to Him bringing it up on the Day of Judgment.

Duaa:​Ya Raqib (O Watchful): Watch over my heart when it drifts and over my thoughts before they turn to deeds. Make me mindful of You in secret and in public until awareness of You becomes my protection from slips

Al-Sattar

As-Sittir, the concealer.
Just like Al-Ghafur covers the effects of your sin by removing its consequence, As-Sittir covers the sin itself from people while He calls your heart back to Him. If He's been concealing your private sins from creation, know that He's still inviting you to heal. He honors your shame, but will you honor His name while He's watching you commit that sin against Him? And if He exposes you, that may also be to heal you instead of humiliate you. How's that possible? The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said that whoever commits a sin in this world and is punished while they're still here, Allah is too generous to repeat that punishment in the hereafter. And whoever commits a sin in this world and Allah conceals it and pardons him, Allah is too generous to retract His pardon when He already granted it.

. And because Allah is Al-Sittir, He loves when we become a veil for one another. The Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam said, مَنْ سَتَرَ مُسْلِمًا سَتَرَهُ اللَّهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةَ Whoever covers the fault of a Muslim, Allah will cover him in this world and the hereafter. So give others the very covering you crave from your Lord.

Be the cloak, not the spotlight. Sittir is not complicity with the sin.
It's a mercy that restrains our tongues from broadcasting sin while we help a person repent and make amends and prevent them from further harming themselves before they harm someone else. And SubhanAllah, the only exception to this is if they pose a threat of harm to other brothers and sisters who need to be forewarned. And there's a warning here too

Duaa: Ya Sattar (O Concealer): Cover my faults with the same grace You always have. Hide my flaws even as You heal them. Let my repentance be quiet, my shame sincere, and my forgiveness made complete beneath Your protective veil.

As-Subbuh

As-Subbuh, the utterly perfect beyond all imperfection;

The chaos of this world is meant to drive you to the source of peace. And meant to make you a source of peace. All while you long for the final destination of peace. وَلَكُمْ فِيهَا مَا تَشْتَهِي تَشْتَهِي أَنْفُسُكُمْ وَلَكُمْ فِيهَا مَا تَدَّعُونَ And there you will have whatever your soul desires and whatever you ask for. But that's Jannah, where everything is pure and perfect. Here you need to find peace in His perfection while being an imperfect being, experiencing an imperfect world.

The scholars say that peace comes from three things: from knowing Him in His perfection, from trusting His perfect plan, and from remembering His perfect reward waiting for you in the next life.Sometimes your first test is not necessarily to make the world pure, but to remain pure within it even though you're never going to be perfect.

Sibāḥah means to swim. And it also shares the root word because the swimmer is on top of the water. So you're declaring Subbūḥ above all that is attributed to Him. And what did Yunus 'alayhi s-salam say when he was drowning at the very bottom of the ocean? لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّي كُنتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ "There is no God but You. How perfect are You? I was amongst the wrongdoers." And Allah says: فَلَوْلَا أَنَّهُ كَانَ مِنَ الْمُسَبِّحِينَ لَلَبِثَ فِي بَطْنِهِ إِلَى يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ "Had He not been amongst those who do Tasbih, then He would have stayed in the belly of that whale drowning until the day of judgment.

Duaa:As-Subbuh (The Utterly Perfect)
"Subhan, how perfect You are beyond everything I can imagine. When the world feels loud and heavy, remind me that You are untouched by its chaos. Let my glory and praise of You rise above the darkness, even if I drown myself in it, and pull me out of it by Your perfection, even after I dragged myself down."

Al-Quddus

Al-Quddus, the entirely pure, who purifies what He wills.

Quddūs means no purity exists except from Him. So between them you have the intense negation of anything unworthy of Him and the intense affirmation of every perfection that belongs to Him

But how do you purify yourself after you've stained yourself with sin? You come to Quddūs, the pure who makes pure, the holy who makes holy

You could live in the holiest city on earth and still have a corrupted heart. You could be the neighbor of the Haram in Mecca and live your life in Haram and have no benefit from being where you are physically because of who you are spiritually.

The place itself doesn't make you holy. The pursuit of the one who made that place holy does. And when Allah talks about the holy places in the Qur'an, it's always in the context of, are you worthy?
When Mūsā 'alayhi s-salām and his people are told: اُدْخُلُوا الْأَرْضَ الْمُقَدَّسَةَ "Enter the holy land." And then Bani Isra'īl refuses to do so because of their spiritual poisons. Allah ends up banning an entire generation from it, finding them unworthy of that pure land. And then when Mūsā himself is about to approach, Al-Quddūs says to him: إِنِّي أَنَا رَبُّكَ فَاخْلَعْ نَعْلَيْكَ إِنَّكَ إِنِّي أَنَا رَبُّكَ فَاخْلَعْ نَعْلَيْكَ ۖ إِنَّكَ بِالْوَادِ الْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى" "Indeed, I am your Lord, so remove your sandals, for you are about to enter the sacred valley of Tuwa." So when you approach Al-Quddūs, you have to come worthy and you have to come pure physically and spiritually.
Physically, you purify yourself by removing any impurity from your garment and then making wudū' and entering into a state of taharah so that you can pray and read Qur'an and do other acts of worship.

Duaa:Al-Quddus (The Entirely Pure)
"Purify me inside and out. Cleanse my worship of pride, my heart of resentment, my soul of anything that clouds its way back to You, and make me worthy of the nearness I seek to You."
​

As-Salam

As-Salam, the one who is peace Himself and the source of any peace to be found within.

As-Salām is the one who is peace, who gives peace.
He gives peace to the believers, and He is unlimited in His supply because فَاقِدُ الشَّيْءِ لَا يُعْطِيهِ "The one who doesn't have something can't give it." And when we give each other salām, we're getting it from Him and then extending it to the capacity that we have. And when we say As-Salāmu 'alaykum to each other, we're not just saying, "Peace be upon you." We're saying, "No harm will come to you from me." And when we call upon As-Salām, we're asking for peace on the inside and all around us. And when you live with As-Salām, peace stops depending on circumstance because the calm within can sustain you. Notice in your prayer, in your Rukūʿ and your sujūd, you say: سُبُّوحٌ قُدُّوسٌ. "And where do you find more peace than those positions in your prayer?" And then when you close the prayer: السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ You're not just greeting angels. You're spreading the peace that you just received to everything right and left of you.

Duaa:"Send peace into every storm within my chest. Let Your calm settle where fear once lived, Your safety surround what the world cannot protect. Make me a source of peace for others until I meet You in the home of peace and get to hear from You Yourself, 'Salam'."

Al Ghani

Al-Ghani, the Self-Sufficient. Al-Ghani is the one who is entirely free of need.He will not guide you because He needs you, but because He wants you. And that changes everything Because love that needs nothing from you is the purest kind of love. And when you need something from people, you get treated differently.

Duaa:Ya Ghani, You are free of all need while I am always in need of You. Let me never beg from those as poor as me. Make me rich through contentment and fill my heart with gratitude instead of greed.

Al Hamid

Al-Hamid, the Praiseworthy."He is praiseworthy by His very essence,"So Allah is teaching you to love the Bestower, the one bestowing the blessing, not only the blessing, the blessing itself. And here's one way the names the Rich and the Praiseworthy come together.
The more you praise a blessing, the more fulfilling it becomes.

Duaa: ​Ya Hamid, You are praised whether or not I remember to say it. Teach me to love You not just for what You give, but for who You are. Let my praise echo in hardship as it does in ease, and let every breath I take be a quiet thank you.

Al- Fattah

Al-Fattah, the Opener. The one who opens doors when you cannot find the way out. Allah opens a door of comprehension for you that you never knew was there.

"Whoever is mindful of Allah, He makes a way out" "and provides for him from where he does not expect" Whoever is mindful of Allah, He will make a way out for him, and then He will provide for him from where he could not imagine. So before Allah shows you the new entrance, He shows you the current exit.Or you could be stuck in trying to understand something that's just not clicking. But as Ibn Taymiyyah would say when he got stuck, "O teacher of Ibrahim, teach me, and O giver of understanding to Sulaiman, grant me," "O teacher of Ibrahim, teach me. O giver of" "understanding to Sulaiman, grant me." A

Duaa: ​Ya Fattah, open doors I cannot find and hearts that I cannot reach. Open paths to good where I only see walls, and open my chest to trust whatever You’ve decreed. Let every opening You grant me lead me back to You.

Al Qabid

Al- Qabid the Withholder. Allah restricts sustenance for individuals as a test, or to protect them from acting wrongly with excess, often based on divine wisdom. The tightening is not punishment. It is actually protection. And the Opening is not an invitation to indulgence. It's actually a test. And both come from the same hand. when He holds, He's not being stingy. He's teaching you to look inward and upward again.

Indeed, my Lord extends provision for whom He wills and restricts it.He tightens one stream so that He can irrigate another.He tightens one stream so that He can irrigate another." Say, "Indeed, my Lord expands provision for whom He wills and constricts it." So both abundance and scarcity are tests He is the One who tightens and the One who opens, the One who draws in and the One who stretches out. Allah says,

Duaa:Ya Qabid, Ya Basit — when You withhold, let me not lose hope, and when You expand, let me not lose humility. Tighten my path only to redirect me to Yours, and widen it in ways that only increase my gratitude to You. Teach me to find You in both the squeeze and the release, and to love You both in the stillness and the flow.

Al Basit

Al Basit, the one expander, unfolder. The one who spreads or enlarges blessings. Sometimes He expands you so you learn gratitude.

Sometimes He brings you forward to honor your readiness. Sometimes He delays you to protect your soul that is not ready. Do not rush His decree. Trust His pacing. He owns the remote control, and that is His mercy.He restricts one door to protect a people from arrogance, and then He opens another to test their gratitude.He tightens out of justice, and sometimes He widens out of grace

Al- Muqaddim

The one who brings forward, advances, and puts things ahead.Allah is the One who puts certain things or people forward when He wills.

He is also named the Advancer and Delayer, the One who brings forward and the One who delays. Because sometimes you're not being held back. You're being set up for something greater. Sometimes your delay is your protection. Sometimes your slowness is your refinement.

Duaa: Ya Muqaddim, Ya Mu’akhkhir — when You bring me forward, make me worthy of the moment, and when You hold me back, make me patient with the waiting. Advance me only when the step will please You, and delay me only when the pause will protect me. Wherever I stand in Your decree, let me always feel content that I am never misplaced

Al-Hakim, the All-Wise, is He who allows it to happen anyway, but for a greater purpose. Al-Alim knows what you're going through when no one else does. Al-Hakim knows the purpose of your going through it, even when you don't.
Al-Alim knows all the whats. Al- Hakim knows all the whys.

Duaa:Ya Aleem, You know what I hid and what I show, what I’ve done and what I’ll do. Let what You know of me be better than what people know of me, and forgive me for what only You know. Teach what benefits me, and let what You keep hidden from me always be for my good.

Al- Latif

He is Al-Latif, Al-Khabir, the ever-subtle, yet ever-aware.Al-Latif is the one who delivers His gentleness, His grace, and His kindness, but through hidden paths Those are the small details. Al-Latif is such a beautiful name that many people will say is their favorite name of Allah. It means the subtle, the gentle, and the kind all at the same time. The scholars explain that Al-Latif is He who delivers kindness and grace in hidden ways.

Then what's the difference between Al-Latif and Al-Rafiq? Or Al-Latif and Al-Muhsin?
Since sometimes you'll just see Al-Latif translated as the Kind.

Al- Khabeer

al-Khabir, the all-aware.al-Khabir is the one who knows the inside and the outside, the cause and the consequence of everything.Al-Khabir is the one who records your hidden intentions.

Allah is Al-Khabir, but with mercy. So He knows you inside and then sends you signs to repent based on the intelligence He has on you. But He also has full intelligence on the one who intends you harm.But like all of His other names, these names are meant to shape comfort and accountability. Because the same Al-Latif who slips you a mercy that you didn't earn is the same Al-Khabir who will bring forth a deed that you thought no one would ever see.

Duaa:Ya Khabeer, You are fully aware of what is within me, my fears my flaws and my hidden intentions. Purify what you see inside me until it is pleasing to You, and let nothing inside me here contradict with what will be produced when I stand before You bare.

Al Qahaar

The subduer the overpowering who overpowers every supposed power on earth.Al-Qahir is the one who has the upper hand over all creation. Hegoverns your heartbeat without permission, and He controls the tyrant's next breath without asking.
It refers to Allah's general power over the believer and the disbeliever alike. And He is the Subduer above all of His servants. He is the subduer above all of His servants. Al-Qahhar refers to that same upper hand when it pressesdown and crushes and humiliates those who deserve humiliation.

Al Jabbar

Al-Jabbar, which means theCompeller and Healer. For the tyrant, Al-Jabbar means something entirely different than for the victim. He subdues the oppressor, but He mends the oppressed. Al-Qahhar breaks, Al-Jabbar repairs. Al-Qahhar presses the arrogant down, Al-Jabbar lifts the broken up.And only Allah has theequation to your soul and the one who tried to break you.

Al Mutakabir

Al-Mutakabbir, the supremely proud. But for him, this name isn't arrogance. It's purity. His kibriya is not like ours. Our pride hides insecurity and makes other people feel unsafe. His pride offers safety, but to the right people.Whoever humbles himself for Allah, Allah exalts him.
But whoever exalts himself, Allah lowers him

For humans, takabbur (arrogance) is blameworthy. For Allah, it is perfect and praiseworthy, because, He alone truly deserves greatness,He is above any نقص (imperfection), ظلم (oppression), or weakness,He cannot be compared to His creation. Scholars explain Al-Mutakabbir as: The One who magnifies Himself above all evil and نقص,The One who is too great to be unjust,The One who rightfully possesses الكبرياء (absolute greatness and supremacy)
