Al-Muntaqim (الْمُنْتَقِم)
The Avenger of Injustice
Linguistic Origins & Arabic Root
Root: ن - ق - م (N-Q-M)
Etymology: Avenger of justice, inflicting rightful retribution on tyrants.
Spelling & Pronunciation
Written: المنتقم — alif · lam · mim · nun · ta · qaf · mim.
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 Muntaqim — all romanisations of المنتقم, which has no single official spelling in the Latin alphabet.
Mention in the Holy Quran
“Indeed We, from the criminals, will take retribution.”
— Surah As-Sajdah (32:22)
Spiritual Significance & Contemplation
Al-Muntaqim breaks arrogant oppressors when warnings have been ignored, assuring victims of oppression that ultimate justice is guaranteed.
