الشرح والدلالة · Explanation

المنتقم هو الذي ينتقم من أهل الإجرام بعد الإعذار.

Al-Muntaqim means 'The Avenger' or 'The Retaliator'. It signifies that Allah is the One who punishes the wicked and avenges the wrongdoers. He exacts justice upon those who oppress others, disbelieve in Him, and persist in sin. His vengeance is not out of passion but out of perfect justice. He gives respite to sinners, but when He takes action, none can escape His punishment. Quran References: 'Indeed, We will take vengeance upon the criminals' (32:22). 'And Allah is Exalted in Might, the Owner of Retribution' (3:4). Spiritual Significance: Al-Muntaqim reminds us that justice will ultimately be served. It warns against oppression and encourages patience in the face of injustice. Benefit: Reciting Al-Muntaqim protects from oppressors, brings justice against wrongdoers, and instills fear of Allah's punishment. It is beneficial for those facing oppression.
