The Creator of All Power • The One Who Manifests Perfect Ability in Every Detail and Decree
✨ ROOT MEANING
Arabic root: ق – د – ر (qāf • dāl • rāʼ)
| Word | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Qudrah (قدرة) | Power, capability, ability to determine or carry out |
| Qādir (قادر) | One who has power to do something |
| Muqtadir (مقتدر) | One who perfectly controls and executes all things with precision, mastery, and total capability |
| Al-Muqtadir (المقتدر) | The One who creates, owns, and deploys power, not only generally, but with total wisdom, order, and subtlety |
Al-Muqtadir is not just capable —
He is the One who designs power, assigns it, withholds it, and shows it in perfect form, in every moment and movement of the universe.
📖 QUR’ANIC VERSE
📌 Surah Al-Qamar 54:42
“They denied Our signs — so We seized them with a seizing of One Perfect in Power (Muqtadir).”
📚 Tafsir (Ibn Kathir, Al-Qurtubi, Al-Baghawi)**
- This verse speaks of a disbelieving nation, arrogant in power — yet crushed in moments.
- “Bi-Qadrin Muqtadir” means:
- The punishment was not random or excessive — it was perfect in measure, timing, and form
- Allah’s power is precise, not chaotic
- His response is tailored to justice, not out of wrath alone
When Al-Muqtadir acts, no force can resist, and no corner is missed.
🪞 Tafhīm (Relatable Understanding)
- You feel like things are spinning beyond control.
Al-Muqtadir reminds you: nothing escapes His design — and no one escapes His justice.
📜 HADITH REFERENCE
Though the Name Al-Muqtadir is not commonly quoted in hadith in the same form, its root meaning is embedded in the Prophet’s ﷺ acknowledgment of Allah’s full control and perfect ability:
📌 Sahih Muslim 2713b
Narrated by Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) — loyal companion of the Prophet ﷺ:
The Prophet ﷺ said:
“The strong believer is more beloved to Allah than the weak believer — and in both is good. Strive for what benefits you, seek Allah’s help, and do not give up.
If something befalls you, do not say: ‘If only I had done…’ but say: ‘Qaddarallāhu wa mā shā’a faʿal’ (Allah decreed it, and whatever He wills, He does).”
📚 Tafsir (An-Nawawi, Ibn Rajab)**
- This phrase confirms belief in:
- Divine control (qudrah)
- Divine execution (taqdīr)
- Trust in His ability to handle all outcomes
Al-Muqtadir is not just writing your story — He is shaping every scene with perfect power and purpose.
🪞 Tafhīm (Relatable Understanding)
- You wonder why something painful happened.
But Al-Muqtadir says: “This was My design — and I never miss a detail.”
🌍 EVIDENCE IN TODAY’S WORLD
1. Sudden Events That Shift Everything — Precisely
- A storm, a birth, a loss, a shift in history — perfectly timed, fully impactful.
That’s Al-Muqtadir — unfolding events with tailored power.
2. Your Weakness Turned Into Strength You Didn’t Expect
- You thought you were incapable — but you rose, endured, created.
That wasn’t you. That was Al-Muqtadir placing power exactly where it was needed.
3. Hidden Protection You’ll Only Understand Later
- Delays, rejections, unexplained “no’s” that later became your greatest relief.
Only Al-Muqtadir has the power to protect without explanation — and plan your escape before you even feel danger.
4. You Witness Justice or Karma in Unexpected Ways
- Someone abused power — and later, that power crumbled.
That was Al-Muqtadir — responding with perfect might, not human revenge.
❤️ EMOTIONAL ANCHORING
Al-Muqtadir is the One who says:
“I assign strength. I remove strength. I know what you need — and I will send it with precision.”
He:
- Designs with wisdom
- Executes with strength
- Measures with mastery
- Sustains with power that is silent, exact, and unfailing
You are not forgotten. You are not out of control.
You are being carried by Al-Muqtadir — and He never miscalculates.
🤲 PERSONALIZED DU‘A
(Inspired by Qur’an 54:42 and Hadith Muslim 2713b)
Not from the Prophet’s exact words — but drawn from authentic meanings
Yā Muqtadir,
I place my future in Your hands — not because I’m strong, but because You are.
Unfold my path with mercy. Empower me where I feel empty.
And when I don’t understand Your plan — let me still trust the One who holds all power with perfect care.
