KNOWLEDGE
THE NAME OF ALLAH AL-GHAALIB is mentioned once in the Qur’an in Surah Yusuf.
WHO IS AL-GHAALIB?
- Allah Al-Ghaalib is the One Who does whatever He wills; nothing can defeat Him, none can reject His judgement, and none can push away or prevent what He decrees.
- Allah Al-Ghaalib is The Most Powerful, The All-Mighty, The Most Irresistible. If there is no power then there is no winning, if there is no might then there is no overcoming, and if there is no irresistibility and domination then there is no defeat.
- It is incumbent to know that Allah is Al-Ghaalib without restriction. Therefore, whoever holds onto Him is victorious even if everything on the earth is against him.
- Whoever turns away from Allah and holds on to other than Him, then he is defeated and is within the stronghold of the shaitan.
- The name of Allah Al-Ghaalib will make us overcome our weaknesses, desires, challenges and plots of the shaitan and people.
- Patience, faith, attachment to Allah alone, reliance in Allah and companionship of Allah are needed so that one may defeat his weaknesses, desires, negative thoughts and plots of the shaitan and people.
- While disbelief, ingratitude, shirk and stopping others on the way to Allah will lead to being defeated.

IMPACTS
- Ask Allah Al-Ghaalib to defeat your inner and outer challenges.
- The Words of Allah defeat the words of anyone else. Turning to the Words of Allah give console and are a cure to the heart.
- Negativity is defeated with tasbeeh (negating all imperfection from Allah and affirming all perfection to Him) and freeing oneself from shirk. We should not think we can defeat our weaknesses on our own.
- Always return and repent to Allah because our desires and plots will not change the will of Allah.
- If we are facing something we cannot understand then we ask Allah Al Muheet to make us surround it and understand it.
IN THE QUR’AN
وَقَالَ الَّذِي اشْتَرَاهُ مِن مِّصْرَ لِامْرَأَتِهِ أَكْرِمِي مَثْوَاهُ عَسَىٰ أَن يَنفَعَنَا أَوْ نَتَّخِذَهُ وَلَدًا وَكَذَٰلِكَ مَكَّنَّا لِيُوسُفَ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلِنُعَلِّمَهُ مِن تَأْوِيلِ الْأَحَادِيثِ وَاللَّهُ غَالِبٌ عَلَىٰ أَمْرِهِ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ
And he (the man) from Egypt who bought him, said to his wife: "Make his stay comfortable, may be he will profit us or we shall adopt him as a son." Thus did We establish Yusuf (Joseph) in the land, that We might teach him the interpretation of events. And Allah has full power and control over His Affairs, but most of men know not.
[Surah Yusuf [12:21]]
