What is the meaning of Allaah’s name al-Muqeet? .,Names and Attributes of Allah -

Dought & clear, - What is the meaning of Allaah's name al-Muqeet (The
Ever All-Able, All-Witness)?
Praise be to Allaah.
Ibn Jareer mentioned a number of opinions concerning the meaningof
this name: al-Muqeet means al-Hafeez (the Protector), al-Shaheed (the
Witness), al-Hasab (the Sufficient), the One Who is in control of all
things. He thought that the last interpretation is the correct one.
Allaah is al-Muqeet, i.e., the Protector, the Witness, the One Who is
Able to do all things.
Al-Muqeet is the Preserver, the Omnipotent, the Witness;He is the One
Who sends down provision to His creatures and shares it out among
them.
Al-Muqeet is the Sustainer; He is taking care of all living beings,
for when He causes partsof them to die over time,He compensates for
that.At every moment He gives them what they need to survive, until He
wills to put an end to their life – then He withholds what keeps them
alive, and so they die.
Some reports give the name al-Mugheeth instead of al-Muqeet.
Al-Mugheeth is interpreted as meaning the Helper, for He helps His
slaves at times of difficulty when they call upon Him; He answers them
and saves them. It also has the meaning of the One Who responds and
the One Who is called upon. Ighaathah [help] refers to actions and
istijaabah [responding] refers to words, but they may be used
interchangeably.
Ibn al-Qayyim said:
"He is the Helper of all His creatures, and He responds to those who
are desperate."

Refutation of the Church’s quoting the Qur’aan to prove that ‘Eesa is the “son of God” .,Dought & clear, - Names and Attributes of Allah -

I read that the Church quotes some verses of the Qur'aan to prove that
'Eesa (peace be upon him) is the "son of God." Their evidence is that
when Allaah was alone He said, "Verily, I am Allaah! Laa ilaaha illa
Ana (none has the right to be worshipped but I)"[Ta-Ha 20:14 -
interpretation of the meaning], in the singular; but when He created
'Eesa the style used in some verses changed to the plural, asin the
verses (interpretation of the meaning): "Verily, We, it is We Who have
sent down the Dhikr (i.e. the Qur'aan)" [al-Hijr 15:9] and "And
certainly We! We it is Who give life, and cause death" [al-Hijr15:23].
And they say, Godis speaking in the plural, i.e., in the sense of
"God,Jesus and the Holy Spirit".
Praise be to Allaah.
The variation in style in the Qur'aan, and the factthat Allaah
sometimes speaks of Himself in the singular and sometimes in a plural
form used by way of respect, does not prove that 'Eesa (peace be upon
him) is the son of God, or that he is divine. This is for a number of
reasons:
-1-
The variation in styles used in the Qur'aan, both singular and
plural,occurs with reference to events that took place thousands of
years before the creation of 'Eesa (peace be upon him) and his mother
Maryam (Mary), and when they were created and after that. Their
existence has no effect on the variation in styles, rather that is due
to another reason whichmay be explained as follows:
Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
"And indeed, We createdman from dried (sounding) clay of altered mud.
And the jinn, We created aforetime from the smokeless flame of fire"
[al-Hijr 15:26]
"And (remember) when We said to the angels: 'Prostrate yourselves unto
Adam.' So they prostrated themselves except Iblees (Satan). He was one
of the jinn; he disobeyed the Commandof his Lord. Will you thentake
him (Iblees) and his offspring as protectors and helpers rather than
Me while they are enemies to you?"
[al-Kahf 18:50]
The style used (singular vs. plural) varied before 'Eesa and his
mother (peace be upon them both) existed. Allaah said:
"Verily, We did send down the Tawraat (Torah) [to Moosa (Moses)],
therein was guidance and light, by which the Prophets, whosubmitted
themselves to Allaah's Will, judged for the Jews. And the rabbis and
the priests [too judged for the Jews by the Tawraat (Torah) after
those Prophets], for to them was entrusted the protectionof Allaah's
Book, and they were witnesses thereto. Therefore fear not men but fear
Me (O Jews) and sell not My Verses for a miserable price. And
whosoever does not judge by what Allaah has revealed, suchare the
Kaafiroon (i.e. disbelievers -- of a lesser degree as they do not act
on Allaah's Laws).
And We ordained therein for them: Life forlife...
And in their footsteps, We sent 'Eesa (Jesus), sonof Maryam (Mary),
confirming the Tawraat (Torah) that had come before him, and We gave
him the Injeel (Gospel)...
And We have sent down to you (O Muhammad) the Book (this Qur'aan) in
truth, confirming the Scripture that came before it and Muhaymin
(trustworthy in highnessand a witness) over it (old Scriptures)"
[al-Maa'idah 5:44-48]
"Verily, We sent Nooh (Noah) to his people"
[Nooh 71:1]
And Allaah said concerning His Khaleel (Close Friend) Ibraaheem(peace
be upon him) (interpretation of the meaning):
"So when he had turned away from them and from those whom they
worshipped besides Allaah, We gave him Ishaaq (Isaac) and Ya'qoob
(Jacob), and each one of them We made a Prophet.
And We gave them of Our Mercy (a good provision in plenty), and We
granted them honour on the tongues (of all the nations, i.e. everybody
remembers them with a good praise)"
[Maryam 19:49-50]
And He said concerning Moosa (peace be upon him) (interpretation of
the meaning):
"and made him draw near to Us for a talk withhim [Moosa (Moses)].
And We granted him his brother Haaroon (Aaron), (also) a Prophet,out
of Our Mercy"
[Maryam 19:52-53]
And He said (interpretation of the meaning):
"Verily, We have sent theRevelation to you (O Muhammad) as We sent the
Revelation to Nooh (Noah) and the Prophets after him..."
[al-Nisa' 4:163]
"And she who guarded her chastity [Virgin Maryam (Mary)], We breathed
into (the sleeves of) her (shirt or garment) [through Our Rooh --
Jibreel (Gabriel)], and We made her and her son ['Eesa (Jesus)] a sign
for Al-'Aalameen (the mankind and jinn)"
[al-Anbiya' 21:91]
"(Remember) when Allaah will say (on the Day of Resurrection). O 'Eesa
(Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary)! Remember My Favour to you and to your
mother"
[al-Maa'idah 5:110]
And there are many other verses in which the style varies between
singular and plural, where the verses speak of the creation of 'Eesa,
or Allaah's words to him,and before he was created. From this it is
clear that the style did not change after the creation of 'Eesa (peace
be upon him) as a sign that he is the "son of God" or that he is
"divine", rather it is for another reason as we shall see below.

Everyone who knows the Arabic language and its styles will know that
the pronoun Ana (I) and the first person is used in the singular when
speaking of oneself. The first person plural Nahnu(we) is used to
refer to two or more. But it may be used by an individual of high
standing as a sign of his greatness, and the context and circumstances
help the reader or listener to understand what is meant. Whoever
disagrees with that is either ignorant and doesnot know what he is
talking about or he is stubborn and wants to twist the meaning of
thewords, following his whims and desires. But Allaah will establish
and make apparent the truthby His Words, however much the sinners hate
that [cf. Yoonus 10:82]. This will be explained further below.
-3-
The Qur'aan is a Book the Verses whereof are perfected (in every
sphere of knowledge), and then explained in detail from One (Allaah),
Who is All-Wise Well-Acquainted (with all things) [cf. Hood 11:1]and
Falsehood cannot come to it from before itor behind it, (it is) sent
down by the All-Wise, Worthy of all praise (Allaah) [cf. Fussilat
41:42]. Parts of it explainand confirm other parts. Allaah says
(interpretation of the meaning):
"And they say: 'The Most Gracious (Allaah) has begotten a son (or
offspring or children) [asthe Jews say: 'Uzayr (Ezra) is the son of
Allaah, and the Christianssay that He has begottena son ['Eesa
(Jesus)], and the pagan Arabs say thatHe has begotten daughters
(angels and others)].'
Indeed you have brought forth (said) a terrible evil thing.
Whereby the heavens are almost torn, and the earth is split asunder,
and the mountains fall inruins,
That they ascribe a son (or offspring or children)to the Most Gracious (Allaah).
But it is not suitable for (the Majesty of) the Most Gracious (Allaah)
that He should beget a son (or offspring or children).
There is none in the heavens and the earth but comes unto the Most
Gracious (Allaah) as a slave"
[Maryam 19:88-93]
"Say (O Muhammad): He is Allaah, (the) One.
Allaah-us-Samad [Allaah -- the Self-Sufficient Master, Whom all
creatures need, (He neither eats nor drinks)].
He begets not, nor was He begotten.
And there is none co-equal or comparable unto Him"
[al-Ikhlaas 112:1-4]
"Verily, the likeness of 'Eesa (Jesus) before Allaah is the likeness
of Adam. He created him from dust, then (He) saidto him: 'Be!' -- and
he was"
[Aal 'Imraan 3:59]
So whoever believes in Him must study the verses of the Qur'aan in the
light of one another,not in isolation, the one who quotes from Qur'aan
should be fair inhis quotation. He should not quote verses and turn
away from others, and he should not confuse truth with falsehood or
use some verses against others in order to promote falsehood, as our
predecessors the Jews did with the Torah, for which Allaah
denouncedthem when He said (interpretation of the meaning):
"Then do you believe in a part of the Scripture and reject the rest?
Thenwhat is the recompense of those who do so among you, except
disgrace in the life of this world, and on the Day of Resurrection
they shall be consigned to themost grievous torment. And Allaah is not
unaware of what you do"
[al-Baqarah 2:85]
Based on this, those whoquote the Qur'aan as evidence should accept
its evidence that 'Eesa (peace be upon him) is not the "son of God"
andthat he is not divine along with God, and they should affirm the
Oneness of God, because of what is mentioned in its verses, and
because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
"Surely, they have disbelieved who say: 'Allaah is the Messiah ['Eesa
(Jesus)], son of Maryam (Mary).' But the Messiah ['Eesa (Jesus)] said:
'O Children of Israel!Worship Allaah, my Lord and your Lord.' Verily,
whosoever sets up partners (in worship) with Allaah, then Allaah has
forbidden Paradise to him, and the Fire will be his abode. And for the
Zaalimoon (polytheists and wrongdoers) there are no helpers.
Surely, disbelievers are those who said: 'Allaah isthe third of the
three (in a Trinity)'"
[al-Maa'idah 5:17]
And there are many similar verses in the Qur'aan.
Otherwise they should stop playing with the words, because that will
only lead them to shame and will make the wise laugh at them in
derision.

Names and Attributes of Allah - What is the meaning of Allaah’s name al-Quddoos?.

What is the meaning of Allaah's name al-Quddoos (the Holy)?
Praise be to Allaah.
Al-Quddoos (the Holy) is the One Who is Blessed and Pure, who is
exaltedabove all impurity. It was said that the angels sanctify Him
and He, mayHe be exalted, is the One Who is praised for His virtues
and goodness.
Allaah is al-Quddoos because He is far above having any opposites,
rivals, partner or son. He is described as being perfect, and is far
above having any faults or shortcomings at all. He isfar above
anything being near Him or like Him in any aspect of His perfection.
Ibn Jareer said:
"Taqdees (sanctification)is purification and veneration… Quddoos…
purity and veneration are for Him, hence land may be described as ard
muqaddasah or holy land, meaning that it is pure. When the angels say
'Nuqaddisu laka (we sanctify You)' it means we attribute to You
Yourattributes of being pure and free of all impuritiesand of all that
the people of kufr attribute to You. It was said that the angels'
sanctificationof their Lord is their prayer (salaah). Then he
mentioned some of the comments of the mufassireen, who said that
taqdees (sanctification) may mean prayer, veneration,
glorification,magnification or obedience. Salaah and veneration come
back topurification because they declare Him to be pure and free from
all that the people of kufr attribute to Him.
Ibn al-Qayyim said:
One of His attributes is the Holy, declaring Him to be above all
imperfection and glorifying the Most Merciful
