Possessor of Majesty and Honour

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

Dhu al-Jalali wa al-Ikram is the Possessor of Majesty and Honour: majestic in a way that inspires awe, and generous in a way that honours His servants. He is to be revered and is the One who honours.

Everything on earth will perish, and only the Face of your Lord remains, full of Majesty and Honour.
Surat ar-Rahman ends by blessing the Name of the Lord of Majesty and Honour.
Jalal (majesty) brings awe; ikram (honour) brings hope: a believer lives between both.
Scholars encourage calling on Allah by this Name often in du'a.
Honour those Allah honours: parents, scholars, the elderly and guests.

Live by it

Begin your du'a today with "Ya Dhal-Jalali wal-Ikram" and ask for something you really need.
