alKabir

Al-Kabir, often written as AlKabir, is an Arabic term meaning "the great" or "the mighty." It is formed from al- meaning "the" and kabir meaning "great." In Islamic theology, Al-Kabir is one of the 99 Names of Allah (Asma'ul Husna), used to express divine majesty, sovereignty, and supremacy over creation. The attribute appears in Qur'anic verses and in Arabic liturgy as part of phrases praising God's magnitude and authority, and it is invoked in supplication and remembrance.

Beyond strictly theological usage, Al-Kabir can function as a descriptive epithet in Arabic-language literature and historical writing to denote importance or greatness. It may also appear in modern media, names, or titles as a stylistic element, sometimes transliterated with or without a hyphen (Al-Kabir or AlKabir).

The concept is closely related to other divine attributes in Islamic tradition, such as Al-Aziz (the Mighty) and Al-Wahid or Al-Ahad (the One). Together, these names reflect a broader Arabic linguistic pattern in which definiteness and emphasis are conveyed through the definite article al- and attribute terms.
