Al-Aziz<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

(The Mighty One)<\/p>\n

The Strong, The Most Esteemed, The Exalted in Might.<\/p>\n

Al-Aziz (in Arabic: \u0671\u0644\u0652\u0639\u064e\u0632\u0650\u064a\u0632\u064f) is the one who is most powerful and strong. He is the conqueror that is never conquered and never harmed. This is because His strength, glory, and power are overwhelming, and cannot be overcome or resisted. He is the only one with complete mastery over all creation.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Mentions of Al-Aziz:
\nFrom Quran & Hadith<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Arabic Root:<\/strong>
\nFrom the root ayn-zay-zay (\u0639 \u0632 \u0632), which has the following classical Arabic connotations: to be mighty, potent, strong, powerful to be high, elevated, noble, exalted to be honorable, noble, glorious, illustrious to be indomitable, invincible to be respected, cherished, dear to be scarce, rare, precious, and unattainable.<\/p>\n

There are several meanings to the name of Allah \u0633\u064f\u0628\u0652\u062d\u064e\u0670\u0646\u064e\u0647\u064f\u06e5 \u0648\u064e\u062a\u064e\u0639\u064e\u0670\u0644\u064e\u0649\u0670 as Al-Aziz (Al-Azeez). Common translations include The Almighty, The Mighty One, or The Eminent One. The word Azeez comes from izzat<\/em> meaning honor and nobility.<\/p>\n

The divine pairing of names:<\/strong>
\nThis great name of Allah \u0633\u064f\u0628\u0652\u062d\u064e\u0670\u0646\u064e\u0647\u064f\u06e5 \u0648\u064e\u062a\u064e\u0639\u064e\u0670\u0644\u064e\u0649\u0670 appears approximately 90 times in the Qur’an. It’s often paired with another name, for example, Al-Aziz Al-Rahim, Al-Aziz Al-Hakeem, Al-Aziz Al-Ghaffar, or Al-Aziz Al-Wahhab. The pairing of names oftens conveys an additional layer, we learn something new about Allah \u0633\u064f\u0628\u0652\u062d\u064e\u0670\u0646\u064e\u0647\u064f\u06e5 \u0648\u064e\u062a\u064e\u0639\u064e\u0670\u0644\u064e\u0649\u0670 that would often be overlooked if we just studied these names independently.<\/p>\n

For example, what does it mean to be Al-Aziz Al-Rahim? Allah \u0633\u064f\u0628\u0652\u062d\u064e\u0670\u0646\u064e\u0647\u064f\u06e5 \u0648\u064e\u062a\u064e\u0639\u064e\u0670\u0644\u064e\u0649\u0670 is in a position of power, He can subdue anyone who opposes Him. Yet to those who deny and to those who disbelieve, He is always merciful first. “My mercy predominates My wrath” [1]<\/sup><\/a><\/span> He does not hasten to punish the one who errs but gives them time to repent. And even when He punishes the transgressors, He can be most severe, but He punishes with mercy. These meanings are said to be divinely designed, whose perfection in meaning is understood best through the pairing of names.<\/p>\n

The juxtaposition of Al-Aziz and Al-Hakeem is also an interesting pairing. The saying “absolute power corrupts absolutely” does not apply to Allah \u0633\u064f\u0628\u0652\u062d\u064e\u0670\u0646\u064e\u0647\u064f\u06e5 \u0648\u064e\u062a\u064e\u0639\u064e\u0670\u0644\u064e\u0649\u0670 as He is the all-wise. Humans are fallible. We see it repeatedly happen when a person gains absolute power in their small domain. It’s often met with cronyism, nepotism, and corruption. A person you perceive as wise or humble can become blinded by power. They are not all-wise and all-knowing. Only Allah \u0633\u064f\u0628\u0652\u062d\u064e\u0670\u0646\u064e\u0647\u064f\u06e5 \u0648\u064e\u062a\u064e\u0639\u064e\u0670\u0644\u064e\u0649\u0670 is the rare exception capable of combining all these attributes perfectly.<\/p>\n

Reflection:<\/strong>
\nHow can we benefit from knowing that Allah \u0633\u064f\u0628\u0652\u062d\u064e\u0670\u0646\u064e\u0647\u064f\u06e5 \u0648\u064e\u062a\u064e\u0639\u064e\u0670\u0644\u064e\u0649\u0670 is Al-Aziz? We can supplicate using this name if we wish to be mighty. It’s natural to aspire for wealth, success, or prestige. It’s a noble cause, especially if the goal of attainment is using that wealth to further Islam and\/or to help others. To be blinded in the pursuit of these things that you forget all your other duties is not virtuous and should be avoided. It’s a fine line that requires careful examination, honesty with oneself, and awareness.<\/p>\n

If you have hunger or burning desire for success, health, wealth, and prestige you should seek it from the true possessor of might, honor and rank. In Surah Imran ayah 26:<\/p>\n
