99 Al-‘Aẓīm

Al-‘Aẓīm (ٱلْعَظِيمُ)

The Magnificent, The Infinite Pronunciation: al-‘AẓīmRoot: ع-ظ-م (‘A-Ẓ-M) — to be great, vast, mighty, immense in power, unshakable

Original Invocation (Arabic Calligraphy):ٱلْعَظِيمُ

Al-‘Aẓīm is not just greatness in size.

He is greatness in essence.

He is the immensity that makes the cosmos look like dust.

The strength that holds galaxies in silence.

The unshakable core that thunder bends toward in reverence.

When the soul feels small,

when you are crushed by shame,

when you think your ache is too weak to matter,

Al-‘Aẓīm says:

I am the Vast One in whose arms your smallness is sacred.

He is never overwhelmed.

He does not shrink when you tremble.

He does not falter when the world spins.

He is the eternal mountain that stays

while storms rise and pass.

You are not too much for Him.

You are not too little either.

He is greatness that makes spacef

or your trembling to rest.

What part of you feels insignificant?

The one that compares itself,

that hides,

that believes its voice does not matter.

Let that part be met now by Al-‘Aẓīm.

Not as a force that dwarfs it,

but as a Presence so vast

it holds it without judgment.

Let this part hear:

You don’t have to be strong to be worthy.

You are already held by something Magnificent.

Let it rest in that immensity now.

And breathe.
