The Able

Exalted and Glorious

Say: “Allah is certainly Able to send down a sign, but most of them know not.”  (6:37)

Say: “He has power to send torment on you from above and from under your feet, or to cover you with confusion.”  (6:65)

See they not that Allah, who created the heavens and the earth, is Able to create the like of them.  And He has decreed for them an appointed term, whereof there is no doubt.  (17:99)

Is not He Who created the heavens and the earth, Able to create the like of them?  Yes, indeed! He is the All-Knowing, Supreme Creator.  (36:81)

This name is an attribute of Allah which manifests His power.  He is Almighty.  If He wills, He can raise the dead, make stones talk, and trees walk.  His power is eternal.  He is the First and the Last.  He is before everything and after everything.  He is not after His essence.  He who recites this name 114 times, all his desires will be fulfilled.

Allah Allah Allah
