Al-Jabbār (The Compeller)
If life turns its back on you, people leave you, everything becomes dark and tough, and you are in severe distress, then call out: O Allah, O You Who console the distressed and comfort their hearts, comfort and strengthen me. Indeed , your Lord will hear your supplication.
Allah Almighty says about Himself:
{He is Allah, there is no god except Him, the King, the Most Holy, the Source of Peace, the Giver of Belief, the All - Controller, the All-Mighty, the Compeller, the Supreme.Exalted is Allah above whatever they associate with Him.}
[Surat al-Hashr: 23]
Al-Jabbār is the One Who comforts broken hearts, enriches the poor, facilitates what is difficult, and provides those submissive to His majesty and magnificence with special consolation.
Al-Jabbār is also the Vanquisher of all things, to Whom everything is submissive and obedient.
Al-Jabbār is the Most High and Exalted above His creation. He has established Himself above His Throne.
All might belongs to Him alone and He is the Vanquisher of tyrants with His power. Indeed, He is far exalted above them with His greatness.
Allah Almighty praises Himself using this name as He says:
{...the All-Mighty, the Compeller, the Supreme...}
[Surat al-Hashr: 23]
The Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) used to supplicate Allah in his bowing and prostration saying:
“Subhān dhil-jabarūt wa al-malakūt wa al-kibriyā’wa al-‘azhamah (Glory be to the Owner of might, dominion, pride, and greatness).”
[Narrated by Abu Dāwūd; Sahīh (authentic)
