Sighah Mubalaghah II

The second Sighah Mubalaghah is of the form [  فَعُول  ].

Of all the others, this Sighah Mubalaghah is hardest to explain, especially when is related to Asma'ul Husna..


This Sighah Mubalaghah is related to the concept of being the source to achieve something. Usually, it refers to something that is concrete that is used to specifically complete an action:

  (i)    The source for making wudu’ = [  وَضُوء  ] = water that is prepared specifically to make wudu’

  (ii)     The source for burning = [  وَقُود  ] = wood that is prepared specifically to burn

  (iii)    The source for breaking fast = [  فَطُور  ] = food that is prepared specifically to break fast
  (iv)  The source for covering the body = [  لَبُوس  ] = cloth that is prepared specifically to cover the body
  (v)   The source for starting a motion = [  هَبُوب  ] = strong wind that can make something move
  (vi)  The source for making a descend = [  هَبُوب  ] = cliff that people can scale down from

This form is also used to describe people:

  (i)    [  رَسُول  ] = One who went out his way to deliver The Message that is driven by the [  ر س ل  ] inside him.

  (ii)   [  كَذُوب  ] = One who spread big lies that is fueled by the [  ك ذ ب  ] inside him.

  (iii)  [  هَلُوع  ] = One who is extremely restless and impatient that is fueled by the [  ه ل ع  ] inside him.

  (iv)   [  هَيُوب  ] = One who is fearful of everything that is fueled by the [  ه ي ب   ] inside him.
  (iv)   [  دَثُور  ] = One who is extremely lazy and hardly moves from his place that is fueled by the [  د ث ر   ] inside him.

The extremity of this [  فَعُول  ] is its status as being the source for a given nature. 

It is related to one giving out something away due to having that thing in abundance, or something that is the source of one’s drive or motivation. 

For Allah, it denotes something that is concrete within Him that He has no problem giving it away, thus the best way to describe Asma'ul Husna under this form is through the usage of “Abudantly-something”

There are six Asma'ul Husna under this Sighah Mubalaghah form, which are:

الصَّبُورُ	الرَّءُوفُ	العَفُوُّ	الوَدُودُ	الشَّكُورُ	الغَفُورُ
As-Sobur	Ar-Rauuf	Al-Afuu	Al-Wadud	As-Shakur	Al-Ghafur
