• al-Mu’min: the One who confirms His messengers and prophets in what they bring of manifest signs, decisive proofs, and clear evidences; the One who possesses all knowledge and is aware of His own sacred attributes and sublime qualities in a way that no human or angel can fathom. He loves His own Self and the majesty and beauty that are His.

• al-‘Aziz, to whom every form of might belongs:
– the might of power and capability, for He is the All-Powerful, the Ever-Strong;
– the might of dominance and conquest over every creature, each of whose forelocks lies in His hand, and they have no authority of their own;
– and the might of inviolability, by which, through His exalted power, He is beyond the reach of any creature—none can oppose or resist Him, and He has neither equal nor rival.

• al-Jabbār: the One who subdues all creation; every existing thing yields to Him; He is high above all that exists; and, through His kindness and grace, He mends the hearts that are broken.

• al-Mutakabbir: exalted above every imperfection and flaw, and above any likeness or resemblance to His creation, on account of His greatness and His majesty.

الممالكِ، الذي لا ينازِعهُ فيه منازعٌ، والموجوداتُ كلُّها عبيدهُ وملكهُ، ليسَ لهم من الأمرِ شيءٌ. * وأخبَرَ أنه: ﴿الْقُدُّوسُ السَّلَامُ﴾ أي: المُقَدَّسُ المُعَظَّمُ، السالمُ من جميعِ العيوبِ والنقائصِ المنافيةِ لكمالهِ. * ﴿الْمُؤْمِنُ﴾: المُصَدِّقُ لرسلهِ وأنبيائهِ بما جاؤُوا بهِ من الآياتِ البيناتِ، والبراهينِ القاطعاتِ، والحججِ الواضحاتِ، الذي لهُ العلمُ كلُّهُ، ويَعلمُ مِنْ أوصافهِ المقدسةِ، ونعوتهِ العظيمةِ، ما لا يعلمهُ بشرٌ ولا مَلَكٌ، ويُحِبُّ نفسَهُ وما هوَ عليهِ من الجلالِ والجمالِ. * ﴿الْعَزِيزُ﴾ الذي له العزةُ كلُّها: * عزةُ القوةِ والقدرةِ، فهوَ القويُّ المتينُ. * وعزةُ القهرِ والغلبةِ لكلِّ مخلوقٍ؛ فكلُّهم نواصِيهم بيدهِ، وليسَ لهم من الأمرِ شيءٌ. * وعزةُ الامتناعِ، الذي تَمَنَّعَ بعزتهِ عن كلِّ مخلوقٍ، فلا يُعارَضُ ولا يُمانَعُ، وليسَ لهُ نديدٌ ولا ضديدٌ. * ﴿الْجَبَّارُ﴾ الذي قهرَ جميعَ المخلوقاتِ، ودانَتْ لهُ الموجوداتُ، واعتلَى على الكائناتِ، وجبرَ بلطفهِ وإحسانهِ القلوبَ المنكسراتِ. * ﴿الْمُتَكَبِّرُ﴾ عن النقائصِ والعيوبِ، وعن مشابهةِ أحدٍ مِنْ خلقهِ ومماثلتِهم؛ لعظمتهِ وكبريائهِ.
