إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلرَّزَّاقُ ذُو ٱلْقُوَّةِ ٱلْمَتِينُ

Indeed, Allah is the Supreme Provider—Lord of all Power, Ever Mighty.

This verse emphasizes that Allah is the ultimate Provider, determining and granting sustenance to all beings according to His divine wisdom.

Furthermore, Allah's attribute of Al-Muqeet highlights His role as the sustainer and nourisher of everything in existence. He provides for the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of all His creation, ensuring their well-being.

We should recognize that all that we have, whether it is food, shelter, or blessings, is ultimately provided by Allah. It reminds us to be grateful for His abundant provisions and to use them in ways that please Him.

Al-Muqeet is a Jamali name, and if this name is recited on water and given to an ill mannered child, he/she will become obedient.

Moreover, Al-Muqeet reminds us of the importance of sharing and caring for others. Since Allah is the ultimate Provider, we should follow His example and be generous in providing for those in need. By sharing our resources and helping those less fortunate, we emulate the attribute of Al-Muqeet and fulfill our duty towards our fellow human beings.

In conclusion, Allah's attribute of Al-Muqeet emphasizes His role as the ultimate Sustainer and Provider. As believers, we should be grateful for His provisions and rely on Him for our sustenance.

provided us.
