The Subduer

Prophetic Traditions

يَطْوِي اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ السَّمَوَاتِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ثُمَّ يَأْخُذُهُنَّ بِيَدِهِ الْيُمْنَى ثُمَّ يَقُولُ أَنَا الْمَلِكُ أَيْنَ الْجَبَّارُونَ أَيْنَ الْمُتَكَبِّرُونَ

Allah will fold up the heavens on the Day of Resurrection, then He will take them in His Right Hand and say: 'I am the King! Where are the tyrants? Where are the arrogant?'

This hadith powerfully illustrates how Al-Qahhar will subdue every tyrant and arrogant soul on the Day of Judgment.
