Why Allah uses this name
Al-Saʿdī gives both senses — judging between creation with truth, and opening doors of mercy and provision that were shut.
Take this with you
What looks closed is closed by His decision and opens by it too.
'Say: Our Lord will bring us together, then judge between us in truth; He is the Judge, the Knowing ( al-ʿAlīm)' (34:26).
