Scholarly Explanation

This includes the meaning of al-'Ali and al-A'la, the meaning of al-Qahhar, and the meaning of ar-Ra'uf. The one who kindly treats and cures dejected hearts, the one who strengthens the weak and impotent, the one who protects and shelters those who resort to Him and seek refuge with Him.

“He is Allah, other than whom none has the right to be worshipped. The King, the Holy, as-Salam, the Giver of Security, the Ever-Watcher, the Almighty, the Compeller, the Supreme. Glory be to Allah! [High is He] above all that they associate as partners with Him.”

[al-Hashr (59): 23]

From “Explanation to the Beautiful and Perfect Names of Allah” — Shaykh as-Sa’di (d.1376H)

Supplication

رَبَّنَا ظَلَمْنَا أَنفُسَنَا وَإِن لَّمْ تَغْفِرْ لَنَا وَتَرْحَمْنَا لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ

Rabbana zalamna anfusana wa il-lam taghfir lana wa tarhamna lanakoonanna minal-khasireen

“Our Lord, we have wronged ourselves, and if You do not forgive us and have mercy upon us, we will surely be among the losers.”

Qur'an 7:23 — Dua of Adam عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُAl-Jabbar mends what is broken — hearts, hopes, and lives that seem beyond repair.
