Name 41 of 99
الْجَلِيل
Al-Jaleel (الْجَلِيل)
The Majestic
Linguistic Origins & Arabic Root
Root: ج - ل - ل (J-L-L)
Etymology: Sublimity, awesome glory, inspiring reverence.
Spelling & Pronunciation
Written: الجليل — alif · lam · jim · lam · ya · lam.
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-Jalil, Al Jaleel — all romanisations of الجليل, which has no single official spelling in the Latin alphabet.
Mention in the Holy Quran
“And there will remain the Face of your Lord, Owner of Majesty and Honor.”
— Surah Ar-Rahman (55:27)
Spiritual Significance & Contemplation
Al-Jaleel strikes reverent awe into the heart. Contemplating His majesty clears away superficial worldly distractions.
