Al-Qāhir - Al-Qahhār
The Vanquisher - The Superb Vanquisher
He is the One Who subjugates and enslaves His servants, and He is Exalted above them. He is the Dominant One to Whom all submit. Allah’s name ‘the Superb Vanquisher’ is an exaggerated form of His name ‘the Vanquisher’.

The Vanquisher occurs twice in the Qur’an, one in the verse that reads, (And He is the Vanquisher above His servants, and He is the All-Wise, All-Aware.) (Sūrat AlAn‘ām: 18) The other one is in the verse that says, (And He is the Vanquisher above His servants, and He sends preservers over you till when death comes to any of you, Our Messengers take him up, and they do not ever neglect.) (Sūrat Al-An‘ām: 61)

As for Allah’s name ‘the Superb Vanquisher’, it occurs 6 times in the Qur’an coupled in all of them with the name ‘the One’. Allah Almighty says, (Say, “Allah is the Creator of all things, and He is the One, the Superb Vanquisher.”) (Sūrat Al-Ra‘d: 16) In another verse, He says, (Which is far better: many different lords or Allah, the One, the Superb Vanquisher?) (Sūrat Yūsuf: 39)

In light of these two great names, I would say:
1. If you believe in Allah Almighty and know that His names include the Vanquisher and the Superb Vanquisher, your heart will be filled with hope that His religion and allies will triumph and His enemies will be defeated regardless of any power they possess.

2. Glorify Allah Almighty and praise Him for He is the Vanquisher of all else, particularly when you know that the Superb Vanquisher should only be One. If there were equals to Him, He would not be a Superb Vanquisher. That is why His name ‘the One’ is coupled with His name ‘the Superb Vanquisher’ in all verses.

3. Considering these two magnificent names inspires within a person’s heart humbleness to the Lord of all the worlds. Thus, he reveres and trusts His Shariah and treats people kindly and modestly.

4. Some scholars said: Allah’s name ‘the Superb Vanquisher’ exclusively belongs to Him. It is not permissible to call any created being, who is weak and ignorant by this name. Describing Allah as the Superb Vanquisher is praise of Him. However, if we describe a person as such, this is considered as dispraise of him for this name will necessarily be accompanied by oppression and tyranny against people.

Allah Almighty says about Pharaoh, (He said, “We will soon massacre their sons and spare alive their women, and surely we are vanquishers above them.”) (Sūrat Al-A‘rāf: 127) Addressing His Prophet, Allah Almighty says, (As for the orphan, do not subdue (him).) (Sūrat Al-Duha: 9)
