Al-Azeez (الْعَزِيز)
The Almighty
Linguistic Origins & Arabic Root
Root: ع - ز - ز (A-Z-Z)
Etymology: Invincible strength, honor, rarity, and insurmountable majesty.
Same root: the root ع - ز - ز (A-Z-Z) also gives Al-Mu'izz.
Spelling & Pronunciation
Written: العزيز — alif · lam · ayn · zay · ya · zay.
The article: Arabic ayn (ع) is a moon letter, so the lam of the definite article ال stays audible. The Name keeps its Al- form, unlike the fourteen sun letters, which absorb the lam.
Also written: Al-Aziz, Al Azeez — all romanisations of العزيز, which has no single official spelling in the Latin alphabet.
Mention in the Holy Quran
“And indeed, your Lord—He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.”
— Surah Ash-Shu'ara (26:9)
Spiritual Significance & Contemplation
Al-Azeez is the Almighty whose will cannot be resisted or overcome. Crucially in the Quran, Al-Azeez is paired frequently with Ar-Raheem and Al-Hakeem: His power is always tempered by mercy and wisdom.
