Al-Mutakabbir

Al-Mutakabbir, The Arrogant, is a ‘name’ that we find in S 59:23

He is Allah, who is no god but him, the king, the holy one, the peace, the believer, the dominant, the mighty, the tyrant, the arrogant.

All the beautiful ‘names’ are supposed to be Allah’s; is Arrogant a beautiful name?

In S 7:146 we read:

I shall turn from my signs those who are arrogant in the land without right. And if they see every sign they will not believe in it. And if they see the way of rectitude they will not take it as a way, and if they see the way of allurement they will take it as a way. That is because they have called our verses a lie and were heedless of them.

S 16:29 So enter the gates of Jahannam, abiding therein indefinitely. And miserable was the abode of the arrogant.

S 39:60 And the day of resurrection you see those who lied about Allah, their faces blackened. Is there not in Jahannam a shelter for the arrogant?

S 40:35 Those who argue concerning Allah’s signs without authority having come to them have become too great an aversion with Allah and with those who have believed. Thus Allah seals every arrogant tyrant heart.
