Al-Mutakabbir (الْمُتَكَبِّر)
The Supreme in Greatness
Linguistic Origins & Arabic Root
Root: ك - ب - ر (K-B-R)
Etymology: Vastness, transcendent supremacy, and absolute greatness.
Same root: the root ك - ب - ر (K-B-R) also gives Al-Kabeer.
Spelling & Pronunciation
Written: المتكبر — alif · lam · mim · ta · kaf · ba · ra.
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 Mutakabbir — all romanisations of المتكبر, which has no single official spelling in the Latin alphabet.
Mention in the Holy Quran
“...Exalted is Allah above whatever they associate with Him.”
— Surah Al-Hashr (59:23)
Spiritual Significance & Contemplation
Al-Mutakabbir is the One to whom supreme greatness genuinely belongs. Pride is a vice in created beings who are inherently dependent, but transcendent majesty is the rightful reality of the Creator.
