الْعَزِيزُ
The Precious / The Most Mighty
Al-'Aziz
The Precious / The Most Mighty
The One possessing absolute power and honour, invincible and never overcome by any force.
Haşr 59:23
Virtue
Al-'Aziz proclaims that Allah possesses absolute might, honor, and unshakeable power—no created being can resist His will. True honor (izzah) belongs to Allah alone, and the servant attains dignity only by binding themselves to Him. The Prophet (peace be upon him) taught that charity does not decrease wealth, that one who forgives is increased by Allah in honor, and that one who humbles themselves for Allah is raised by Him. Invoking Al-'Aziz frees the heart from craving status from people, redirecting the search for dignity to its only true Source.
