Al Jabbar - The Irresistible

The irresistible is the One whose commands have to be taken and fulfilled, whether they are liked or not, as He is the owner of everyone and everything.

Al Jabbar, cover page for blog

Besides this name has an element of compulsion and pride which only suits ALLAH, interestingly Al Jabbar means that, by force joining two fractured ends. It is to fix something broken with the power of compulsion. It is a prominent quality of ALLAH-Al Jabbar.

Al Jabbar, introduction to name and explanation

Life is a journey full of small and big tests from our Rab, sometimes we get broken hearts, bad wounds, injuries, and scars on the way. Who will fix all those? This is where the power of Al Jabbar comes into action.

Our beloved Prophet Muhammadﷺ used to recite this beautiful dua in ruku and sujood, it is narrated in sahih ahadith on many different references. It has a hamd of ALLAH’s greatness including the word Jabaroot, derived from the same origin as Al Jabbar.

Dua of Prophet Muhammad saw with ALLAH's Hamd

Without doubt, All the greatness and whole kingdom belongs to our most merciful Rab.

Human part of Al Jabbar

We all carry a duty, to implement what is good and resist what is bad. As our Rab, He did not by force implement His orders on us although He is all capable, instead, He Said there is no compulsion in the matters of deen but right and wrong are clearly defined. So as humans, we don't have to enforce ALLAH's orders to others, but implement them in a way that is not rude, not hurtful, yet do the work. The real success is this.
