Al-Mu'izz is the One who bestows honor, dignity, and might on whomever He wills. True honor comes only from Allah — not from wealth, lineage, nationality, or status.

History is filled with examples: Islam brought honor to the Arabs who were previously scattered tribes; the Prophet ﷺ was the most honored person in history, yet lived simply.
