The meaning of the name of Allah “al-Jabbaar”

What is the meaning of the name of Allah "al-Jabbaar"?.
Praise be to Allaah.
The name "al-Jabbaar (the Compeller, the Omnipotent)" has three meanings:
1.
Might in the sense of power. Allah, may He be glorified and exalted,
is al-Jabbaar, the One Who compels the tyrants and overwhelms them by
His power and might. Every tyrant, no matter how powerful he is, is
subjectto the power of Allah, and his power is in His hand.
2.
Might in the sense of mercy. He, may He be glorified, helps the weakby
making him independent and giving him strength; He helps the one who
is fragile and scared by giving him safety; He helps the
broken-hearted by removing that which causes their grief, bringing
relief and bestowing peace of mind - as well as the reward and good
consequences they will attain if they bear that patiently for His
sake.
3.
Might in the sense of sublime greatness. He, may He be glorified, is
far above His creation, yet despite His being exalted, He is close to
them and hears all that they say and sees all thatthey do, and He
knows what they are thinking.
Shaykh Muhammad ibn 'Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him)
Fataawa al-'Aqeedah (p. 56).
