Scholarly Explanation

The one to whom belongs might and honour in its entirety, the might and honour of strength, of conquest and of prevention. He has prevented any of His creation from encompassing and grasping Him, He is Omnipotent over everything that is in existence, the whole of creation is subject and indebted to Him, yielding before His greatness.

[It will be said], 'Seize him and drag him into the midst of the blazing Fire. Then pour over his head the torment of boiling water. Taste you this! Indeed you were [pretending to be] al-'Aziz, the Kind!'

[ad-Dukhan (44): 47-49]

Blessed be He in Whose Hand is the dominion, and He is Able to do all things. Who has created death and life that He may test which of you is best in deed, He is al-'Aziz, the Ever Forgiving.

[al-Mulk (67): 1-2]
