AlAzeem

AlAzeem is an Arabic epithet meaning "the Great" or "the Magnificent." It is derived from the root ʿ-ẓ-m, which conveys majesty, grandeur, and exalted status. In Islamic usage, Al-Azeem refers to one of the divine attributes of Allah and is commonly included among the traditional 99 Names of Allah, though the exact list of names can vary among scholars.

As a name of God, Al-Azeem signifies majesty, power, and sovereignty over creation. The epithet is used in devotional language, prayers, and liturgical expressions to reflect awe at God’s grandeur and to remind believers of divine majesty. The concept appears across Islamic tradition and is frequently invoked in supplication and praise, sometimes alongside other names to describe different aspects of God.

In modern practice, Al-Azeem also appears in Arabic-language religious literature, poetry, and media, and may be used in the naming of mosques, organizations, or charitable institutions to convey reverence and dignity. While the list of the 99 Names is drawn from hadith literature rather than a single Qur’anic roster, Al-Azeem is widely recognized and referenced within Islamic thought.
