Al-Majeed (الْمَجِيد)
The Most Glorious
Linguistic Origins & Arabic Root
Root: م - ج - د (M-J-D)
Etymology: Glory, noble distinction, radiant honor.
Same root: the root م - ج - د (M-J-D) also gives Al-Majid.
Spelling & Pronunciation
Written: المجيد — alif · lam · mim · jim · ya · dal.
The article: Arabic mim (م) is a moon letter, so the lam of the definite article ال stays audible. The Name keeps its Al- form, unlike the fourteen sun letters, which absorb the lam.
Also written: Al-Majid, Al Majeed — all romanisations of المجيد, which has no single official spelling in the Latin alphabet.
Mention in the Holy Quran
“Indeed, He is Praiseworthy and Honorable.”
— Surah Hud (11:73)
Spiritual Significance & Contemplation
Al-Majeed combines absolute nobility of essence with boundless generosity in action. Mentioned daily in the Salawat upon the Prophet.
