The Creator of All Power

Virtue

Al-Muqtadir declares that Allah's power is perpetual, that He continually manifests His might. While Al-Qadir means 'the One who has power,' Al-Muqtadir means 'the One who has used His power and continues to use it.' In Surah al-Qamar 54:55 it is said: 'in a seat of honor beside an All-Capable Sovereign.' The servant who reflects on this name knows Allah's power is not merely a potential but a reality manifesting in every moment—every breath, every heartbeat, every fall of rain is the work of Al-Muqtadir.
