Al Kabir and Al Azim For Adults and Teens

Who is truly great? This session from the Journey to Allah through His Names series takes that question seriously, starting with the people we instinctively admire and then asking what greatness actually looks like when it belongs to Allah. Al-Kabīr means The Most Great. Al-ʿAẓīm means The Magnificent. Together, these Names point to a greatness that has no ceiling, no comparison, and no rival and this sesion helps learners begin to grasp what that means.

The session moves through reflection on Allah’s creation as a doorway to recognising His greatness: the human body, the natural world, the Majestic Throne, and the angels including the account of Angel Jibrīl عليه السلام and the narration in al-Tabarani of an angel so immense that his feet rest in the lowest earth while his neck is beneath the Throne of Allah, yet he remains in constant glorification. From there, the session turns to what it means to live with these Names, covering humility, avoiding arrogance in daily dealings, and asking Allah through His Names al-Kabīr and al-ʿAẓīm when life feels overwhelming.

This session covers:

• Appreciate what Al-Kabīr & Al-ʿAẓīm mean
• Understand how one can reflect on Allah’s greatness
• Learn how to connect with Allah through these names
• Reflect on what you have learnt and identify one practical action point
