Al-Majid (الْمَاجِد)
The Noble and Illustrious
Linguistic Origins & Arabic Root
Root: م - ج - د (M-J-D)
Etymology: Illustrious, renowned for magnificence and nobility.
Same root: the root م - ج - د (M-J-D) also gives Al-Majeed.
Spelling & Pronunciation
Written: الماجد — alif · lam · mim · alif · jim · 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 — all romanisations of الماجد, which has no single official spelling in the Latin alphabet.
Mention in the Holy Quran
“Owner of the Throne, the Glorious.”
— Surah Al-Buruj (85:15)
Spiritual Significance & Contemplation
Al-Majid radiates divine splendor and noble magnanimity, filling the universe with evidence of His sublime generosity.
