Al-Majid

The Illustrious and Honoured — immense in grandeur, worth and glory; abundant in nobility, generosity and excellence; the One who grants glory and honour to whom He wills among His servants. This blessed name does not appear explicitly in the Noble Qur'an in the form Al-Majid. It occurs in the noble hadith that enumerates the names of Allah Almighty. The need for this name is the need felt in order to attain all the honoured stations in Allah's sight. The blessings the Lord grants His servants are without measure, for He gives without measure to the servants He loves, bestows without return, and forgives them whenever He wills. His beneficence is abundant. One must know this and be grateful to Him. To reach a degree of honour by acquiring all the ennobling qualities is to take on the character of this name.

The noble name Al-Majid is recited 48 times as "Ya Majid, jalla jalaluhu" for wealth to be abundant, possessions ample, one's words to prevail, and to be accepted and beloved among people. The knowledge of whoever recites the noble name Al-Majid often, saying "Ya Majid, jalla jalaluhu", increases, and his face becomes luminous. Whoever recites the noble name Al-Majid 400 times morning and evening, saying "Ya Majid, jalla jalaluhu", understands the speech of animals.
