He is the conqueror that is never conquered and never harmed.
This is because His strength, glory, and power are overwhelming, and cannot be overcome or resisted. He is the only one with complete mastery over all creation.
Exalted in power, rank, dignity; incomparable; full of might and majesty; able to enforce His will .
“Blessed is He in Whose hand is the kingdom, and He has power over all things, Who created death and life that He may try you which of you is best in deeds; and He is THE MIGHTY, the Forgiving, Who created the seven heavens one above another; you see no incongruity in the creation of the Beneficent Allah; then look again, can you see any disorder?”
The Holy Koran (67:1-3)
Allah is Al Aziz, and so He gives ‘izza’ to His righteous servants. In the Qur’an, we are told of the two Prophets who were sent to a people in Surat Yaseen:“When We sent to them two but they denied them, so We strengthened them with a third, and they said, “Indeed, we are messengers to you”
The Holy Qur’an (36:14).
Allah – who is the most powerful and most Cherished. The victorious One whose strength, glory, and power are overwhelming and cannot be overcome or resisted.
“Do not grieve; indeed Allah is with us. And Allah sent down his tranquility upon him and supported him with angels you did not see and made the word of those who disbelieved the lowest, while the word of Allah – that is the highest. And Allah is Exalted in Might (al-‘Aziz) and Wise (al-Hakeem).”
The Holy Quran (9:40)
The Pairing Al-Azeez and Al-Hakeem:
وَلِلَّهِ جُنُودُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ عَزِيزًا حَكِيمًا
Wa lillaahi junoodus samaawaati wal ard; wa kaanal laahu azeezan hakeema
The Holy Quran 48:7
“And to Allah belong the soldiers of the heavens and the earth. And ever is Allah Exalted in Might and Wise.”
The juxtaposition of Al-Aziz and Al-Hakeem is also an interesting pairing. The saying “absolute power corrupts absolutely” does not apply to Allah سُبْحَٰنَهُۥ وَتَعَٰلَىٰ as He is the all-wise. Humans are fallible. We see it repeatedly happen when a person gains absolute power in their small domain. It’s often met with cronyism, nepotism, and corruption. A person you perceive as wise or humble can become blinded by power. They are not all-wise and all-knowing. Only Allah سُبْحَٰنَهُۥ وَتَعَٰلَىٰ is the rare exception capable of combining all these attributes perfectly.
فَالِقُ ٱلۡإِصۡبَاحِ وَجَعَلَ ٱلَّيۡلَ سَكَنٗا وَٱلشَّمۡسَ وَٱلۡقَمَرَ حُسۡبَانٗاۚ ذَٰلِكَ تَقۡدِيرُ ٱلۡعَزِيزِ ٱلۡعَلِيمِ
Faaliqul isbaahi wa ja’alal laila sakananw wash shamsa walqamara husbaanaa; zaalika taqdeerul Azeezil Aleem
The Holy Quran 6:96
“[He is] the cleaver of daybreak and has made the night for rest and the sun and moon for calculation. That is the determination of the Exalted in Might, the Knowing.”
وَمِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ وَٱلدَّوَآبِّ وَٱلۡأَنۡعَٰمِ مُخۡتَلِفٌ أَلۡوَٰنُهُۥ كَذَٰلِكَۗ إِنَّمَا يَخۡشَى ٱللَّهَ مِنۡ عِبَادِهِ ٱلۡعُلَمَـٰٓؤُاْۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ غَفُورٌ
Wa minan naasi wadda waaabbi wal an’aami mukhtalifun alwaanuhoo kazalik; innamaa yakhshal laaha min ‘ibaadihil ‘ulamaaa’; innal laaha Azeezun Ghafoor
The Holy Quran 35:28
“And among people and moving creatures and grazing livestock are various colors similarly. Only those fear Allah, from among His servants, who have knowledge. Indeed, Allah is Exalted in Might and Forgiving.”
