Al-Mu'izz (الْمُعِز)
The Giver of Honour
Linguistic Origins & Arabic Root
Root: ع - ز - ز (A-Z-Z)
Etymology: Bestowing dignity, true nobility, and strength.
Same root: the root ع - ز - ز (A-Z-Z) also gives Al-Azeez.
Spelling & Pronunciation
Written: المعز — alif · lam · mim · ayn · zay.
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-Muizz, Al Mu'izz — all romanisations of المعز, which has no single official spelling in the Latin alphabet.
Mention in the Holy Quran
“You honor whom You will and You humble whom You will. In Your hand is all good.”
— Surah Ali 'Imran (3:26)
Spiritual Significance & Contemplation
Al-Mu'izz confers authentic honor upon whoever lives with integrity. True honor is not worldly accolades, but the dignity of proximity to Allah.
