Al-Jabbar (الْجَبَّار)
The Irresistible, The Restorer
Linguistic Origins & Arabic Root
Root: ج - ب - ر (J-B-R)
Etymology: Mending the broken, restoring wholeness, and compelling majesty.
Spelling & Pronunciation
Written: الجبار — alif · lam · jim · ba · alif · ra.
The article: Arabic jim (ج) 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 Jabbar — all romanisations of الجبار, which has no single official spelling in the Latin alphabet.
Mention in the Holy Quran
“...the Exalted in Might, the Compeller and Restorer, the Superior...”
— Surah Al-Hashr (59:23)
Spiritual Significance & Contemplation
In classical Arabic theology, Jabr carries a profound duality: it means to mend a broken bone (*jabara al-kasr*) as well as irresistible majesty. Al-Jabbar heals wounded spirits and compels justice for the oppressed.
