How to say “glorious” in Arabic, with pronunciation and real example sentences from OpenArabic texts.
وَحَدَّثَنَا حَبِيبُ بْنُ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ، وَالْأَعْمَشُ، وَعَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ رُفَيْعٍ،
Habib ibn Abi Thabit, al-A'mash, and Abd al-Aziz ibn Rufay' narrated to us,
الْعَزِيزِ — al-Aziz. The definite divine title completing the 'servant of the Mighty' compound name, set as the owner half of the pairing in the genitive. It finishes the transmitter's name, the two parts read as one unit.
From: Paradise for the Sincere →مِنْهُمْ إِبْنُهُ عَبْدُ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلَّذِي مَاتَ مَسْمُومًا بِالْمَوْصِلِ،
Among them was his son Abd al-Aziz, who died after being poisoned in Mosul,
ٱلْعَزِيزِ — the Mighty. This carries its 'the' as a built-in part of the name and stands as the second, owning half of the name-pair begun by the previous word. Being the possessor in that pair, it sits in the 'of' (genitive) form. It completes a single proper name rather than describing anything on its own.
From: Sermons, Wit, and Sorrow →أجمع المسلمون على وجوب تعظيم القرآن العزيز على الاطلاق وتنزيهه وصيانته
Muslims unanimously agree on the obligation to honor the Glorious Quran in all cases, and to respect and safeguard it.
العَزِيزِ — Glorious. An adjective 'Glorious' describing the Quran, and it echoes that noun's (genitive) ending to agree with it. Arabic makes a describing word match its noun in case and definiteness, which is why this carries the same ending as the noun before it. It adds an attribute rather than a new item.
