Welcome to the 99 Names of Allah Series.

Name Number Ninety One: Al- Mani'

From the root mim-nun-ayn (م ن ع) which has the following classical Arabic connotations: to prevent, hinder, hold back, restrain, deny, impeding, resist, to forbid, refuse, prohibit, to guard, defend, or to protect.
The name of Allah, al-Mani, The Protector. As we've mentioned in previous names, different scholars have different criteria for what qualifies as a name of Allah سُبْحَٰنَهُۥ وَتَعَٰلَىٰ. Of the 99 names, 81 are explicitly mentioned in the Qur'an. Therefore, there is not one agreed-upon list for the remaining 18 names. Al-Mani is one of those names which is not included by certain scholars. This list includes Ibn al-Wazir, Ibn Hazm, and Ibn al-Uthaymeen, among others. However, others, such as Ibn Arabi, Imam al-Bayhaqi, and al-Ghazali, have included this name in their lists.
