(19) Explanation of Allah’s Name Al-‘Aziz (the Mighty)
An interesting episode in English in which Sh. Bilal Philips shows the meaning of Allah’s name Al-‘Aziz (the Mighty) which is one of the most indicated Allah’s Names in the Quran. It is often mentioned with other names such as Ar-Raheem (the Most Merciful) and Al-Hakeem (the All-Wise). This name is derived from izza (power, strengthen, and dominance) and refers that Allah is able to take revenge on the wrongdoers and they cannot reply him. It also refers that Allah could not be forced to do something. We learn from this Name that we should trust in Allah, be certain that he is able to answer our supplications, seek strength from him only as He says, “Whosoever desires honor, power and glory, then to Allah belong all honor, power and glory…” and forgive all people while we are able to take revenge on them as the Prophet (peace be upon him) did with those who hurt him and tortured his companions even they tried to kill him.
