الْقَهَّارُ
Al-Qahhar
1. Explanation of the Name
Al‑Qahhār comes from the root
ق‑ه‑ر (Q‑H‑R), meaning “to overpower,” “to subdue,” and “to prevail.” This Name proclaims that Allah is
The Ever‑Prevailing One, whose will is irresistible and before whom every force and scheme must bow.
His power is unmatched—He subdues every obstacle, conquers every challenge, and upholds His decree with absolute authority.
2. About This Name
Al‑Qahhār appears in the Qur’an to remind us that no power can resist Allah’s will; all creation is under His command.
— Qur’an 3 : 26
Invoking Al‑Qahhār strengthens our trust in His supreme control—even when circumstances seem overwhelming, His will prevails.
3. Spiritual Reflection
Reflecting on Al‑Qahhār invites us to surrender our illusions of control and rest in the certainty of His victory.
— Qur’an 57 : 4
What challenge feels insurmountable right now? Whisper “Yā Qahhār” and feel its power dissolving.
Identify one worry you’ve been resisting, let go of the need to control it, and trust in His prevailing will.
