Al-Qahhar (الْقَهَّار)
The Subduer
Linguistic Origins & Arabic Root
Root: ق - ه - ر (Q-H-R)
Etymology: Overpowering, subduing, bending all wills to His command.
Spelling & Pronunciation
Written: القهار — alif · lam · qaf · ha · alif · ra.
The article: Arabic qaf (ق) 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 Qahhar — all romanisations of القهار, which has no single official spelling in the Latin alphabet.
Mention in the Holy Quran
“Are separate lords better or Allah, the One, the Prevailing?”
— Surah Yusuf (12:39)
Spiritual Significance & Contemplation
Al-Qahhar subdues tyrants, halts empires, and breaks arrogance. The laws of nature themselves submit in complete humility to His command.
