Al-Muntaqim

Researched and written by AI from the Qur'an and Sahih al-Bukhari · not yet reviewed by a scholar

Al-Muntaqim is the Avenger, who brings justice upon those who persist in wrongdoing. His retribution is never cruel or rash; it is justice delayed by mercy until the wrongdoer refuses every chance.

• The Qur'an describes Allah as 'Mighty, Owner of retribution'.
• He says He will take retribution from the criminals: those who persist after being reminded.
• Scholars teach this Name alongside His patience and forgiveness: He gives time, then holds to account.
• It comforts the oppressed: no injustice escapes Him.
• It warns us against oppressing anyone, even the weakest person in our care.
