Al-Muʿizz

1. Explanation of the Name

Al‑Muʿizz comes from the root ع‑ز‑ز (ʿ‑Z‑Z), meaning “to honor,” “to empower,” and “to give might.” This Name proclaims that Allah is The Giver of Honor and Strength, who bestows dignity, power, and status upon whomever He wills.

As The Empowerer, He elevates the humble, grants authority to the just, and fills hearts with inner strength to uphold truth and justice.

2. About This Name

Al‑Muʿizz appears in the Qur’an paired with Al‑Mudzill to remind us that all honor and disgrace are under Allah’s control.

“He gives honor to whom He wills and He humiliates whom He wills; and to Allah belongs the alternation of night and day…”
— Qur’an 3 : 26

Recognizing this Name teaches us to seek honor through piety and good character, knowing true dignity is granted by Allah alone.

3. Spiritual Reflection

Reflecting on Al‑Muʿizz invites us to honor others, uphold justice, and rely on Allah for our strength and dignity.
