Al-Qahhar or Qahhar (Arabic: القهار; The Almighty[1]) is one of the names of God in Islam. The meaning has been variously translated as "The Conqueror," "The Vanquisher," or "The Subduer."[2]
يَوْمَ تُبَدَّلُ الْأَرْضُ غَيْرَ الْأَرْضِ وَالسَّمَاوَاتُ وَبَرَزُوا لِلَّهِ الْوَاحِدِ الْقَهَّاريَوْمَ هُمْ بَارِزُونَ لَا يَخْفَى عَلَى اللَّهِ مِنْهُمْ شَيْءٌ لِمَنِ الْمُلْكُ الْيَوْمَ لِلَّهِ الْوَاحِدِ الْقَهَّارِ
According to the Salafi scholar Abdul-Rahman al-Sa'di, this appellation signifies God's might and that everything that exists is under his subdue as he is the one before whom the entirety of creation has humbled itself. Also, this name evidently shows that God is in control of all his creation. In the Islamic perspective, each creature is subdued by one above it, forming a hierarchical chain that culminates with God as the ultimate Subduer of all that exists.[3] Another important consequence of this divine name in Islam is its strong relation to monotheism since there has to be a singular ultimate subduer to all that exists, and that subduer is God.[4]
