The 99 Names · Name 24 of 99 · In a pair
الْمُعِزُّal-Muʿizz
The Giver of honour
Say it: al-Muʿizz. A recording by our own reciter is on its way.
Heard together with: al-Muʿizz / al-Mudhill
A Name heard in its pair
Classical teachers said Names like this one are always spoken beside their partner, so that power is never heard without mercy, or holding back without giving. So there is no ladder here: nothing in us climbs towards it.
On screen
In Twain's tale, honour is a set of clothes. al-Muʿizz gives the honour clothes can't.
