al-Jab-baar (The Compelling One)
He is Allah than Whom there is La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He) the King, the Holy, the One Free from all defects, the Giver of security, the Watcher over His creatures, the All-Mighty, the Compeller, the Supreme. Glory be to Allah! (High is He) above all that they associate as partners with Him

Al-Jab-baar – The Compelling One – 99 Names of Allah
Allah Almighty is the Creator of this world and everything in this world. We, as Muslims, should learn all the 99 Names of Allah and seek a proper understanding of their meanings.
Our Beloved Prophet (Peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) said about the importance of Asmaul Husna (the Most Beautiful Names).
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Allah has ninety-nine Names, one-hundred less one; and he who memorized them all by heart will enter Paradise.” To count something means to know it by heart.

The verse of the Noble Quran also tells us about the importance of Asmaul Husna (the Most Beautiful Names).
And (all) the Most Beautiful Names belong to Allah, so call on Him by them, and leave the company of those who belie or deny (or utter impious speech against) His Names. They will be requited for what they used to do
(Surah al-Araf, verse 180)
Al-Jab-baar The Compelling One
Allah is Al-Jab-baar, The Compelling One, He is far above human perception. The 99 Names of Allah proves that in addition to other qualities, Allah Almighty is Al-Jab-baar. Al-Jab-baar is The Compelling One.
Al-Jab-baar is the One who compels another to do as He pleases. Allah knows what is right for us. He has the best plans for us, and He knows better than us. He sets all the things right.
Every one of us continually needs to remind ourselves that whenever we did something wrong, there is someone who is seeing us. We need to know that Allah is Al-Jab-baar, and holds power to destroy the unjust and wrongdoers.
He is Allah than Whom there is La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He) the King, the Holy, the One Free from all defects, the Giver of security, the Watcher over His creatures, the All-Mighty, the Compeller, the Supreme. Glory be to Allah! (High is He) above all that they associate as partners with Him
