bountiful.The All-Excellent And The One With Veneration, <strong>the</strong> illustrious.<br />
YA MAJIDU; O Noble One! The hearts <strong>of</strong> those who invoke this Name will be enlightened. Anyone<br />
who says this beautiful name <strong>of</strong> <strong>Allah</strong> in seclusion <strong>to</strong> such an extent <strong>and</strong> in such a manner that he<br />
becomes euphoriam <strong>the</strong>n <strong>the</strong> light <strong>and</strong> noor <strong>of</strong> <strong>Allah</strong> will soon become evident in his heart. The<br />
Noble<br />
The One whose deeds are glorious, dignified, noble, honorable <strong>and</strong> exceedingly generous.<br />
The One whose deeds <strong>and</strong> ways are noble, great <strong>and</strong> bountiful.<br />
The One who shows mankind <strong>the</strong> highest, most perfect example <strong>of</strong> goodness, richness, <strong>and</strong><br />
generosity.<br />
From <strong>the</strong> root m-j-d which has <strong>the</strong> following classical Arabic connotations:<br />
<strong>to</strong> be glorious, dignified, noble <strong>and</strong> honorable<br />
<strong>to</strong> be lauded, exalted, sublime<br />
<strong>to</strong> be liberal, bountiful, exceedingly generous<br />
The name Mâjid is not specifically used as a Beautiful Name in <strong>the</strong> Qur'ân.<br />
Al-Majîd indicates <strong>the</strong> One whose essential nature is glorious, dignified, noble <strong>and</strong> honorable, <strong>and</strong><br />
whose essential nature is <strong>to</strong> give liberally <strong>and</strong> bountifully.<br />
Al-Mâjid denotes <strong>the</strong> One who is praised for <strong>the</strong> specific deeds <strong>and</strong> attributes <strong>of</strong> great glory,<br />
dignity, nobility, honor, <strong>and</strong> exceeding generosity.<br />
That is, <strong>the</strong> name al-Majîd denotes <strong>the</strong> glorious essential nature <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> One, while <strong>the</strong> name al-<br />
Mâjid honors specific deeds performed by <strong>the</strong> One.<br />
(Also written as al-majid, al-maajid, <strong>the</strong> One whose deeds are glorious: ya majid, ya maajid)<br />

The Unique, He who is Single, absolutely without partner or equal in His Essence, Attributes,<br />
Actions, <strong>Names</strong> <strong>and</strong> Decrees.The One without a partner, <strong>the</strong> Unique.<br />
YA WAHIDU: O Unique One! Those who frequently invoke this glorious Name, alone in a quiet place,<br />
become immune <strong>to</strong> fear <strong>and</strong> delusion. Anyone who desires that <strong>the</strong> fear <strong>and</strong> love for <strong>the</strong> creation<br />
be driven out <strong>of</strong> his heart, should recite this Ism 1000 times daily. Anyone desiring good <strong>and</strong> pious<br />
children, should inscribe this Ism (on paper, cloth, etc.) <strong>and</strong> keep it with him at all time. Any<br />
person who has no children should write this name on a piece <strong>of</strong> paper <strong>and</strong> keep it with himself God<br />
will give him good children.<br />
The One unique starting point from which all else has arisen.<br />
The One source from which all <strong>of</strong> creation springs forth.<br />
