to be great in size, rank or dignity
to be great in size, to be vast, formidable
to be great in age, oldest
to be great in dignity, noble, majestic
to be great in learning, most knowing

This name is used in the Qur'ân. For example, see 59:23
Mutakabbir is an empathic form of the root k-b-r which denotes actively using rights, privileges and
attributes that are above and beyond the rights of everyone else. In mankind, this would be called
pride or arrogance, but for the One this is simply the truth.
Al-Qurtubi reported that this name was understood to mean Grand, Great One.

11. Al-Khaliq-The Creator, The Planner, the Maker
The Creator. He who brings from non-being into being, creating all things in such a way that He
determines their existence and the conditions and events they are to experience.The One who
brings everything from non-existence to existence.
YA KHALIQU: O Creator! For one who repeats this invocation at night, Allah creates an angel; that
angel worships obediently until the Day of Resurrection, and its reward is credited to the person
concerned. Anyone who recites this name of Allah 100 times for 7 days, will be safeguarded against
all adversities Insha-Allah. And one who forms the habit of its continuous recital, Allah will create
an angel who will worship Allah continuously on his behalf. Any person who reads this name all the
time as much as he can God will make an angel for him who will always pray to God on that
person's behalf. (But still that person is suppose to offer his prayers).
