Complete Meaning of Al-Majid
Al-Majid (as Al-Maajid) refers to Allah's supreme nobility, honor, and distinction. While similar to Al-Majid (number 48 — الْمَجِيدُ), this form (الْمَاجِدُ) emphasizes the active, participial quality — the One who is actively and continuously noble and glorious in all His interactions with creation. His nobility (majd) encompasses greatness in generosity, greatness in honor, and greatness in all virtuous qualities.
