Al-Jalil
The Majestic
Researched and written by AI from the Qur'an and Sahih al-Bukhari · not yet reviewed by a scholar
Al-Jalil is the Majestic, whose majesty fills the heart with awe and reverence. It is the root of His description in the Qur'an as 'Possessor of Majesty and Honour'.
- This Name is in the well-known list; the Qur'an describes Him as Dhu al-Jalal, Possessor of Majesty.
- Everything on earth perishes, and only the Face of your Lord remains, full of majesty and honour.
- Majesty inspires awe; beauty (jamal) inspires love: a believer's heart holds both.
- Awe of Al-Jalil keeps you from taking sins lightly.
- Reverence shows in how you pray: stillness, focus and humility.
Live by it
Pray your next salah slowly, as if standing before the Majestic King, because you are.
