Al-Mateen (الْمَتِين)
The Firm and Steadfast
Linguistic Origins & Arabic Root
Root: م - ت - ن (M-T-N)
Etymology: Steadfast, unshakable firmness, resolute endurance.
Spelling & Pronunciation
Written: المتين — alif · lam · mim · ta · ya · nun.
The article: Arabic mim (م) 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-Matin, Al Mateen — all romanisations of المتين, which has no single official spelling in the Latin alphabet.
Mention in the Holy Quran
“Indeed, it is Allah who is the Continual Provider, the firm possessor of strength.”
— Surah Adh-Dhariyat (51:58)
Spiritual Significance & Contemplation
Al-Mateen is unshakable. His support never wavers, His decrees never fail, and His resolve cannot be shaken by the hostility of creation.
