Allah (SwT) has said,

“The mercy of Allah and His blessings be on you, O Ahl al-Bayt (People of the Prophet’s House); surely He is Praised, Glorified” (Qur’an, 11:73).

In language, majd means glory. When combined with good deeds, a person’s own prestige will be enhanced, so he will be called glorious. It also conveys the meanings of manliness, generosity, open-handedness, and gracious conduct.

Al-Majeed connotes general honour or abundance of wealth. A man who is majeed is extremely generous. Al-Majeed is Glorified to the utmost extent of Glorification due to His own merits, qualities, and actions. He is also Great in His attributes, beautiful in His power and autho­rity. Al-Majeed has the utmost limit of glory; His benevolence is great. Al-Majeed is the great One, the One Whose status is Sublime, Who is most Benevo­lent. His status is tremen­dous, Whose Benevolence is great. He is Honoured, His actions are beautiful, He is generous in giving. Al-Majeed grants His favors to all others. He is Glorified because of His actions. He is Praised by His creation due to His greatness. He alone has the perfect Honour, the vast kingdom since time immemorial, the One Who does not disappoint anyone. His will (command) is always carried out. His Honour is not earned [by anyone else]. His actions are never abhorred. His benevo­lence is beautiful, He gives most generously...

All meanings of perfect and inclusive glory are always rendered to Allah (SwT), and all of them combined are but a drop in the ocean of His Glory. Glory is also attached to His prophets, to the successors of the latter, and to the mujahidin, those who struggle for His sake, fighting their own innermost erroneous inclinations and egotistical inclinations.

Allah (SwT) has described the Holy Qur’an as majeed, saying,

“Qaf. I swear by al-Qur’an al-majeed... “ (Qur’an, 50:1).

The Holy Qur’an is majeed because of the abundance of wealth of knowledge, ethics, and sublime objectives it contains and due to the benefits it has for everyone; so, it is beneficial for man both in the life of this world and in the life to come.

One who personifies in his conduct the essence of this attribute ought to be gracious in all circumstances and be most cultured.
