H&Q-27

9. Allah is Al-Jabbaar The Compeller
The Restorer,  The Repairer,  The All-Compelling,  The Irresistible
al-Jabbâr describes the nature of the One who is the ultimate restorer of the soundness, wholeness and righteousness of all things. For a human being, any claim to such irresistible power would be false pride and arrogance, but for Allâh it is simply the truth.
