Al-Jabbār: The One Who Mends the Broken

About this lecture

In this lecture, the speaker reflects on one of Allah's most powerful names — Al-Jabbar, the Compeller and Mender — exploring its linguistic roots, its appearances in the Quran, and why it is the name to call upon in moments of brokenness and oppression. Drawing on classical scholars including Imam al-Qushayri and Imam al-Ghazali, the lecture explains how du'a itself is an act of acknowledging one's dependence on Allah, and concludes with a practical discussion of the three barriers that prevent believers from connecting with this name: shame, a lack of felt brokenness, and the refusal to stop trying to fix everything alone.
