9. Al-Jabbar-The all Compelling, The Res<strong>to</strong>rer, The Over Powering, The Repairer, The<br />
Irresistible<br />
The Compeller. He who repairs all broken things, <strong>and</strong> completes that, which is incomplete. He is<br />
able <strong>to</strong> compel <strong>the</strong> execution <strong>of</strong> His will. The One that nothing happens in His Dominion except that<br />
which He willed.<br />
YA JABBARU: O Compeller! Those who repeat this invocation will not be sub-jected <strong>to</strong> coercion, <strong>and</strong><br />
will not be exposed <strong>to</strong> violence, severity or harshness.Anyone who says this Ism 226 times each<br />
morning <strong>and</strong> each evening will be safeguarded against <strong>the</strong> oppression <strong>to</strong> tyrants <strong>and</strong> depots. If<br />
anyone engraves it on a silver ring <strong>and</strong> wears it. His awe <strong>and</strong> magnificence will become inborn in<br />
<strong>the</strong> heart <strong>of</strong> people Insha-<strong>Allah</strong>. Any person who reads this name 226 times he will always be<br />
prevented from his enemies.<br />
The One who irresistibly res<strong>to</strong>res all <strong>of</strong> creation <strong>to</strong> soundness <strong>and</strong> sufficiency.<br />
The One who repairs, reforms <strong>and</strong> completes. The One who irresistibly compels things <strong>to</strong> be set<br />
aright.<br />
The One who compels each <strong>and</strong> every thing according <strong>to</strong> divine will, yet is never compelled.<br />
The One who is high, above all creation <strong>and</strong> utterly irresistible.<br />
From <strong>the</strong> root j-b-r which has <strong>the</strong> following classical Arabic connotations:<br />
<strong>to</strong> res<strong>to</strong>re something <strong>to</strong> sound, right or good state<br />
<strong>to</strong> bring back <strong>to</strong> normal, reform<br />
<strong>to</strong> benefit, <strong>to</strong> confer a benefit<br />
<strong>to</strong> be supreme, high, above all <strong>of</strong> creation<br />
<strong>to</strong> be compelling, irresistible<br />
This name is used in <strong>the</strong> Qur'ân. For example, see 59:23<br />
The essence <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> root j-b-r is <strong>the</strong> irresistible res<strong>to</strong>ration <strong>of</strong> something, <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> name al-Jabbâr<br />
describes <strong>the</strong> nature <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> One who is <strong>the</strong> ultimate res<strong>to</strong>rer <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> soundness, wholeness <strong>and</strong><br />
righteousness <strong>of</strong> all things. For a human being, any claim <strong>to</strong> such irresistible power would be false<br />
pride <strong>and</strong> arrogance, but for Allâh it is simply <strong>the</strong> truth.<br />
(Also written as al-jabbar, al-jabbaar, <strong>the</strong> Res<strong>to</strong>rer: ya jabbar, ya jabaar)<br />
10. Al-Mutakabbir- The Self-Glorious ,The Supremely Great, The Possessor <strong>of</strong> all Rights, The<br />
Perfection <strong>of</strong> Greatness, The Haughty, <strong>the</strong> Majestic, The Imperious.<br />
The Majestic. He who demonstrates His greatness in all things <strong>and</strong> in all ways.The One who is clear<br />
from <strong>the</strong> attributes <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> creatures <strong>and</strong> from resembling <strong>the</strong>m.<br />
YA MUTAKABBIRU: O Majestic One! The Exalted Lord will grant righteous chil¬dren <strong>to</strong> men who<br />
repeat this before approaching <strong>the</strong>ir wives.The constant reciter <strong>of</strong> this beautiful name will be<br />
granted honour <strong>and</strong> greatness. If read continually before any task, it will be accomplished... Insha-<br />
<strong>Allah</strong>. The constant reciter <strong>of</strong> this beautiful name will be granted honour <strong>and</strong> greatness. If read<br />
