Al-Maajid — The Noble, the Bountiful: الْمَاجِدُ
Meaning
Nobility of essence and boundless bounty — distinct from Al-Majeed (#48, the Glorious): Maajid stresses generous nobility, Majeed vast glory. Both are established via the listing rather than a direct name verse; contemplate them as a pair on honor.
Textual references
No direct verse ascription for this exact name-form is established — the name is contemplated via the classical listing and related texts noted in Sources. This uncertainty is stated rather than filled.
The 99-names hadith itself (Sahih al-Bukhari 2736; Sahih Muslim 2677) does not enumerate the names; the enumeration order follows the Tirmidhi listing, whose chain scholars grade as weak for the list itself.
Reflection
Nobility in creatures imitates this name; nobility claimed against Him contradicts it.
A personal contemplation aid — not doctrine and not a promised outcome.
Sources & methodology
- Listing only — no direct name verse claimed (see methodology)
