Like Al-'Adhîm, but carries more of a sense of power. It refers to Essence; Incomparably Great,
Most Great, Great beyond measure, the Majestic. It expresses the perfection of His Essence.
Al-Kabir is one of the Ninety-Nine Names.
That is because Allah, He is the Truth, and what you call upon besides Him is
falsehood. Allah is the All-High, the Most Great." (31:30)
