الْعَزِيزُ
08. AL AZIZ

●TRANSLATION:

•The Almighty,
•The Strong,
•The Defeater who is not defeated.

●MEANING:

•The One who is the most Powerful and most Cherished.

•The One whose dignity, majesty and power are unique, precious and unattainable by mankind.

•The One who has complete mastery over all of creation. The One who overcomes everything.

•The One who is the cherished source of all strength, power and potency.

■HOW TO LIVE BY THIS NAME?

1. Seek your strength from Al-Aziz

• Having faith in Al-Aziz gives you courage because you know Your Lord is unbeatable.

• Whatever He wills happens, even if the people will otherwise, and whatever He wills not to happen won't, even if the people will it.

2. Know that your 'izzah is in Islam.

• Your honour does not lie in money, power, or looks;
rather your honour is only in Islam.

How many seek honour from other things or people?

"Verily, then to Allah belongs all honour, power and glory."
(Quran 4:139)

Seek your honour in this life and the next from Al-Aziz only, by obeying Him and following His Messenger.

3. Power doesn't mean honour!

• Always use your own "power" or authority in an honourable way, over your children or spouse for example.

Jazakum Allahu Khairan.

"سُبْحَانَكَ اللْهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ، أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ، أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْكَ"

'Glory be to You O Allah, and with Your praise, I testify that there is no God (worthy of worship) except You, I seek Your forgiveness, and I repent to You.'
