Al-Jabbar; The Compeller, The Restorer

One of the 99 names of Allah (God) in Islam is Al-Jabbar, which is often translated as "The Compeller" or "The Restorer." This name emphasizes the power and sovereignty of Allah, who can restore and rectify anything that has been broken or damaged.

In Arabic, the word "Jabbar" means "to mend," "to fix," or "to repair." Therefore, Al-Jabbar represents the one who can mend the broken, repair the damage, and restore the loss. This name is a reminder that no matter how broken or hopeless a situation may seem, Allah has the power and ability to restore it.

In the Quran, it is mentioned;

هُوَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِي لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ٱلۡمَلِكُ ٱلۡقُدُّوسُ ٱلسَّلَٰمُ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُ ٱلۡمُهَيۡمِنُ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡجَبَّارُ ٱلۡمُتَكَبِّرُۚ سُبۡحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يُشۡرِكُونَ

"He is Allah, other than whom there is no deity, the Sovereign, the Pure, the Perfection, the Bestower of Faith, the Overseer, the Exalted in Might, the Compeller, the Superior. Exalted is Allah above whatever they associate with Him."

Moreover, Al-Jabbar is also associated with justice and compassion. The name is often used to describe Allah's ability to rectify a wrong or injustice and to restore balance and harmony to the world. This attribute of Allah serves as a source of comfort and hope for believers, who believe that Allah will ultimately bring justice and fairness to all.

Al-Jabbar is a Jamali name, and whoever recites this name several times will not be forced to do anything. He/She will be safe from cruelty and hardship.

In summary, the name Al-Jabbar represents Allah's power, sovereignty, and ability to restore and rectify anything that has been broken or damaged. It is a reminder that no matter how hopeless a situation may seem, believers can always turn to Allah for help and guidance.
