Why Allah uses this name
Al-Saʿdī reads majd as the union of greatness and generosity — grandeur that gives rather than withholds.
Take this with you
Greatness that gives: expect generosity from the One who is glorious.
'Mercy of Allah and His blessings be upon you, people of the house; indeed He is , (11:73).
