ALLAH: Al-Mu’izz–The Honorer
~You exalt whom you will-3:26
~Allah is ‘Aziz, Possessor of Glory, and Mu’iz, Giver of Glory. He gives glory to His obedient and loving servants. Glory, in the Islamic concept is not merely material power. It’s the greatness of the soul that lives competently in this world, yet with its ultimate goal the Hereafter. “I will set your followers above the unbelievers till the Resurrection Day.”-3:55
~Allah gives material power to whoever He will. “You exalt whom You will, and You abase whom You will; in Your hand is the good” -3:26. But this sort of power is not always a reward; it could be a test: how would a powerful man behave? “Bu…t seek, amidst that which Allah has given you the Last Abode, and do not forget your portion of the present world; and do good, as Allah has been good to you” -28:77. Thus a believer’s sense of pride and power, issues from his faith and knowledge that Allah will always support him. “Surely We shall help Our Messengers and those who have believed, in the present life, and upon the day when the witnesses arise.” -40:51
~Self-seeking places one far from Allah
The One who gives invincible strength and honor.
The One who grants honor and power. The One who strengthens and glorifies.
The One who makes it possible for someone or something to be respected, cherished and mighty.
