ASMA AL-HUSNA · 10 / 99
Al-Mutakabbir — The Supreme in Greatness: الْمُتَكَبِّرُ
Meaning
Exalted above every shortcoming and above all that is falsely associated with Him — the closing name of the 59:23 sequence. For creatures, takabbur (arrogance) is blameworthy; for the Creator, supremacy is simply true description.
Textual references
- Qur’an 59:23
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
The one attribute humans must never claim is the one most proper to Him.
A personal contemplation aid — not doctrine and not a promised outcome.
