Dhi al-Jabrut: al-Jabr (compulsion/force). It has passed us in this book that al-Jabbar is among the names of Allah. How many meanings does it have? Three meanings: strength, mending the broken, and elevation, as He said:
"And it has a third meaning, which is elevation *** So no human can draw near to Him
From their saying: 'Jabarah for the palm tree that *** surpassed with every finger' " or as he said.
As for his saying: al-Mulkut, it is from al-Mulk (sovereignty), and the taa in it is for intensification. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Mu'minun 23:88].
