Dhul-Jalaali-Wal-Ikram — The Possessor of Majesty and Honour
ذُوالْجَلاَلِ وَالإكْرَامِ
Name 85 of the ninety-nine. The Lord of Majesty and Bounty
Allah is Zul-Jalaali-wal-Ikram (in Arabic: ذُو ٱلْجَلَالِ وَٱلْإِكْرَامُ), The One who is glorious and majestic.
The root
The attributes of Allah in this phrase are based on the root of two jim-lam-lam (ج ل ل) and kaf-ra-mim (ك ر م). The meaning of j-l-l: to be supremely great to be glorious, majestic to be sublime to be high, lofty, far above, independent. k-r-m: to be noble, high minded, generous, to be highly esteemed, honored, prized, valued, to be excellent, precious, valuable, rare, to be productive, fruitful,…
Reflection
If we only realize His loving and merciful attributes, we may rationalize or be easily tempted by bad behaviors. But if we recognize His power and strength, we would avoid things out of fear of displeasing Him. This is a back-and-forth between reverence and seeking repentance from His attributes of love and mercy. It was reported that Umar bin Khattab asked Ubayy ibn Ka'b about Taqwa.
" [1] A'isha (ra) reported: When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ pronounced salutation, he salutation longer than it took him to say: [2] اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ السَّلاَمُ وَمِنْكَ السَّلاَمُ تَبَارَكْتَ ذَا الْجَلاَلِ وَالإِكْرَامِ Allahumma antas salam wa minkas salam tabarakta dhal jalali wal ikram English Translation: "O Allah: Thou art Peace, and peace comes from Thee, blessed art Thou, Possessor of Glory and Honour" Narrated Anas ibn Malik: I was sitting with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and a man was offering prayer.
He then made supplication: [3] اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَنَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدَ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ الْمَنَّانُ بَدِيعُ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ يَا ذَا الْجَلاَلِ وَالإِكْرَامِ يَا حَىُّ يَا قَيُّومُ Allahumma inni as'aluka bi - anna lakal - hamd, lailaha illa ant, al - mannanu badi'us - samawati wal - ard, ya dhal jalali wal ikram !
" There is great virtue and reward in supplicating with these names.
