الْمُذِلُّ

Al-Mudhِلّ


1. Explanation of the Name

Al‑Mudhill comes from the root ذ‑ل‑ل (DH‑L‑L), meaning “to humble,” “to abase,” and “to disgrace.” This Name proclaims that Allah is The Abaser, who humiliates those who reject His guidance and exalts the believers through His mercy.

As The Abaser, He withholds honor from the arrogant and wrongdoers, demonstrating His justice and reminding all to seek His pleasure and mercy.

“And among the people is he who buys the amusement of speech to mislead [others] from the way of Allah without knowledge and who takes it in ridicule…”
— Qur’an 31 : 6

Recognizing this Name encourages humility and obedience, knowing that turning away from Allah’s path leads to dishonor.


3. Spiritual Reflection
