ASMA UL HUSNA 29



Al-'Adl
The Just, The just one.
Behold, God enjoins justice, and the doing of good,
and generosity towards one's fellow-men;
and He forbids all that is shameful
and all that runs counter to reason, as well as envy;
and He exhorts you repeatedly
so that you might bear all this in mind.
An-Nahl 16:90, tr. Muhammad Asad

O God, help me against this self of mine
that is seeking help from You;
I seek justice from no one but from
this justice-seeking self.
I shall not get justice from any one except from
Him who is nearer to me than myself;
For this I-ness comes moment by moment from Him.
Rumi, Mathnawi I:2195-2198, tr. Helminski

Al-Hakam
The Judge, He who judges and provides what is due.

and the promotion of peace between men:
for God is all-hearing, all-knowing.

Al-Mudhill
The Dishonorer, He who lowers and puts one in abasement and degradation.
Know that you can never elude God, and that, verily, God shall bring disgrace upon all who refuse to acknowledge the truth.
At-Tawbah 9:2, tr. Asad

He alone has the right to break,
for He alone has the power to mend.
He that knows how to sew together,
knows how to tear apart:
whatever He sells,
He buys something better in exchange.
He lays the house in ruins;
then in a moment He makes it more liveable than before.
Mathnawi I:3882-3886, tr. Helminski

Ar-Rafi
The Exalter, He who uplifts.
High above all orders of being is He, in almightiness enthroned.
By His Own will does He bestow inspiration
upon whomever He wills of His servants,
so as to warn all human beings of the coming of the day
when they shall meet Him --
the Day when they shall come forth from death,
with nothing of themselves hidden from God.
Ghafir 40:15-16, tr. Asad

You are a bird of the sea,
even though a chicken has sheltered you beneath her wing.
The desire in your heart is for the sea;
your soul has that nature from your mother.
Leave your land-bound nursemaid and move on.
Come into the sea of reality.
You are a waterfowl: you can live on land and sea.
You are of royal birth, for... We have ennobled the children of Adam:
you walk on both dry land and sea.
Rumi, Mathnawi II:3771-3772, tr. Helminski
