Al-Muntaqim

The Avenger, The Disapprover, The Inflictor of Retribution

Allah is Al-Muntaqim, The One who victoriously prevails over His enemies and punishes them for their sins. Allah is most patient, but the time will come where justice must be given. Avoid things which Allah has forbidden for he punishes those when provoked.

Quran tells the story of Moses (pbuh) and The Pharaoh who disobeyed Allah’s multiple request to the right path:

So, he bluffed his people, and they obeyed him. Indeed, they were [themselves] a people defiantly disobedient [of Allah]. And when they angered Us, we took retribution from them and drowned them all. And We made them a precedent and an example for the later peoples. (Quran 43:54-56)
