9. Al-Jabbar-The all Compelling, The Restorer, The Over Powering, The Repairer, The
Irresistible
The Compeller. He who repairs all broken things, and completes that, which is incomplete. He is
able to compel the execution of His will. The One that nothing happens in His Dominion except that
which He willed.
YA JABBARU: O Compeller! Those who repeat this invocation will not be sub-jected to coercion, and
will not be exposed to violence, severity or harshness.Anyone who says this Ism 226 times each
morning and each evening will be safeguarded against the oppression to tyrants and depots. If
anyone engraves it on a silver ring and wears it. His awe and magnificence will become inborn in
the heart of people Insha-Allah. Any person who reads this name 226 times he will always be
prevented from his enemies.
The One who irresistibly restores all of creation to soundness and sufficiency.
The One who repairs, reforms and completes. The One who irresistibly compels things to be set
aright.
The One who compels each and every thing according to divine will, yet is never compelled.
The One who is high, above all creation and utterly irresistible.
From the root j-b-r which has the following classical Arabic connotations:
to restore something to sound, right or good state
to bring back to normal, reform
to benefit, to confer a benefit
to be supreme, high, above all of creation
to be compelling, irresistible
This name is used in the Qur'ân. For example, see 59:23
The essence of the root j-b-r is the irresistible restoration of something, and the name al-Jabbâr
describes the nature of the One who is the ultimate restorer of the soundness, wholeness and
righteousness of all things. For a human being, any claim to such irresistible power would be false
pride and arrogance, but for Allâh it is simply the truth.
(Also written as al-jabbar, al-jabbaar, the Restorer: ya jabbar, ya jabaar)
10. Al-Mutakabbir- The Self-Glorious ,The Supremely Great, The Possessor of all Rights, The

from the attributes of the creatures and from resembling them.

granted honour and greatness. If read continually before any task, it will be accomplished... Insha-
