11- Al-Muhaymin:
The Trustworthy and Ever Watchful Witness.
The One Who witnesses all the deeds and sayings of the creation. The One
Who sent down His Book, and is a Witness to His Truth. The Trustworthy
One Who confirms the Truth of everything He says. And The Ever Watching
Guardian over His creation.

12- Al-Azeez:
The Almighty. The Invincible.
The Almighty One Whom nothing can overcome. The One Mighty in
vengeance when He punishes His enemies. The All-Powerful One Who
overcomes all, and before Whose Might all submit, and Who has no need of
anyone.

13- Al-Jabbaar:
The Exalted and Almighty Compeller.
The One to Whose Might everything in the creation submits. The Exalted
One Who rectifies the affairs of His creation for them, and Who restores the
weak and the broken-hearted.

14- Al-Mutakabbir:
The One Supreme in Glory.
The Justly and Rightfully Proud. The One Who is Alone, truly High and
Mighty, Exalted in glory above everything. The One Who disdains - and is

He is Allaah than Whom there is La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be
worshipped but He) the King, the Holy, the One Free from all defects, the
Giver of security, the Watcher over His creatures, the All-Mighty, the
Compeller, the Supreme. Glory be to Allaah! (High is He) above all that they
associate as partners with Him. (Sooratul Hashr 59, Aayah 23)

15- Al-Khaaliq:
The Creator and Maker of everything.
The One Who brought everything into existence after it had previously not
existed. The One Who has always had the attribute of being The Creator
even when there was no creation in existence. This is a fine point that Shaikhul-Islaam Ibn Taymeeyah (rahimahullaah) brought and made clear that
Allaah did not become The Creator when He created - when the creation
came into existence - rather He has always been The Creator. This has always
been His Attribute. So He did not gain this attribute upon the arrival of the
creation, rather He has always had this attribute.

He is Allaah, the Creator, the Inventor of all things, the Bestower of forms. To
Him belong the Best Names. All that is in the heavens and the earth glorify
Him. And He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise. (Sooratul Hashr 59, Aayah 24)

16- Al-Khallaaq:
The Creator Who creates again and again.
The One for Whom it is not difficult to create anything.

Verily, your Lord is the All-Knowing Creator. (Sooratul Hijr 15, Aayah 86)

17- Al-Baari:
The Originator.
The One Who - by His Power - originated and created and fashioned the
created beings upon their separate forms without any prior example to
follow. And Who created and fashioned the souls in the wombs.

18- Al-Musawwir:
The Bestower of forms.
The One Who forms and fashions His creation however He wills. The One
Who gives form to everything in existence, giving each created thing a
particular form and appearance which distinguishes it from all other created
things.

He is Allaah, the Creator, the Inventor of all things, the Bestower of forms. To
Him belong the Best Names. All that is in the heavens and the earth glorify
Him. And He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise. (Sooratul Hashr 59, Aayah 24)

19- Al-Hakeem:
The All - Wise
The One completely Wise in everything He decrees, and completely Wise in
His Sayings, and His Actions. There is no deficiency in anything He decrees,
says or does.

For those who believe not in the Hereafter is an evil description, and for
Allaah is the highest description. And He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.
(Sooratul Nahl 16, Aayah 60)

20- Al-Hakam:
The Judge
The One Who judges between the creation in this world by His Revelation,
and Who judges between them in the hereafter with His Knowledge, and
who establishes justice for those Who have been wronged by others.

 Narrated Hani ibn Yazid:

When Hani went with his people in a deputation to the Messenger of Allaah (), he
heard them calling him by his kunyah (surname), AbulHakam.
So the Messenger of Allaah ( )called him and said: Allaah is the judge (al-Hakam), and
to Him judgment belongs. Why are you given the kunyah AbulHakam?
He replied: When my people disagree about a matter, they come to me, and I decide
between them, and both parties are satisfied with my decision.
He said: How good this is! What children have you? He replied: I have Shurayh, Muslim
and Abdullah. He asked; Who is the oldest of them? I replied: Shurayh. He said: Then you
are AbuShurayh.
Abu Dawud said: This is Shuraib who broke the chain, and who entered Tustar.
Abu Dawud said: I have been told that Shuraib broke the gate of Tustar, and he entered
it through tunnel.
Sunan Abi Dawud 4955 (Grade: Saheeh by Al-Albaani)
In-book references: Book 43, Hadeeth 183
English translation: Book 42, Hadeeth 4937

21- Al-Haakim:
The Best of judges

And (O Muhammad SallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam), follow the inspiration sent
unto you, and be patient till Allaah gives judgement. And He is the Best of
judges.
(Soorat Yoonus 10, Aayah 109)
