Al-‘Azeem
The Magnificent
He is the One Who possesses the absolute majesty in His Self, names and attributes. Hence, it is incumbent upon His servants to glorify and exalt Him and heed His commands and prohibitions. This great name occurs 9 times in the Qur’an.

An example came in Sūrat Al-Baqarah:
(And the preservation of them both tires Him not, and He is the Most High, the Magnificent.) (Sūrat Al-Baqarah: 255) And (So glorify the name of your Lord, the Magnificent.) (Sūrat Al-Wāqi‘ah: 96)

It is authentically reported that the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) would make this supplication at times of distress: “There is no god but Allah, the Magnificent, the Forbearing. There is no god but Allah, the Lord of the Mighty Throne. There is no god but Allah, the Lord of the heavens, the earth and the Honorable Throne.”15

In light of this great name, I would say:
1. One of the best means whereby a person can exalt the magnificence of his Lord is to ponder His names and attributes and reflect upon His magnificent creation.

2. Know that one of the greatest signs of a servant’s exaltation of his Lord is the exaltation of His Law. Allah Almighty says, (That (is the Command); and whoever (constantly) magnifies the rites of Allah, then surely it is of the piety of the hearts.) (Sūrat Al-Hajj: 32) He also says, (That (is the Command), and whoever honors the sacred ordinances of Allah - it is best for him in the sight of his Lord.) (Sūrat Al-Hajj: 30)

3. When a person recognizes the magnificence of Allah Almighty, this yields two benefits within his heart:
• Submission to Allah Almighty, and showing humility to His creation.
• Freeing oneself from fear from created beings for they are weak. No matter how strong they may appear, they are nothing compared to the magnificence of Allah Almighty. (They have not appraised Allah with true appraisal.) (Sūrat Al-Zumar: 67)

So, be with the pious and the doers of good so that the Magnificent Lord will be with you. (Indeed, Allah is with those who fear Him and those who are doers of good.) (Sūrat Al-Nahl: 128)

• Be calm in your prayer and fulfill your bowing and be careful to glorify your Lord. The Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said, “As for bowing, glorify the Lord therein.”16
