➋ { وَ هُوَ الْعَزِيْزُ الْحَكِيْمُ:} These two attributes are mentioned as evidence that He alone is the possessor of all greatness and grandeur, because He alone is the Mighty and He alone is the Wise (the definite article on the predicate creates the meaning of exclusivity), no one else is mighty nor wise, so what grandeur would there be in anyone else? In {’’ الْعَزِيْزُ ‘‘} every form of power and authority is included, and in {’’ الْحَكِيْمُ ‘‘} every meaning of knowledge is included. He is {’’ الْعَزِيْزُ ‘‘} (the Dominant over all), He can do whatever He wills, there is nothing He cannot do, and there is no being that can prevent Him, and He is {’’ الْحَكِيْمُ ‘‘} (the Perfectly Wise), whatever He does is pure wisdom and absolutely correct, no one can find fault in it nor can anyone point out anything better than it.

1. The Condemnation of Arrogance. 2. Grandeur Befits Only Allah:
Arrogance and pride are such crimes for which punishment is inevitably received even in this world. There is a famous saying that "the head of pride is bowed low." This is a reality that every person observes in this world itself. And as for the Hereafter, the fate of the arrogant will be that there will not be a single arrogant person who will not be humiliated and disgraced before being cast into Hell. It is established from many authentic ahadith that most of the inhabitants of Hell will be those who were arrogant. Furthermore, it is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudriؓ and Sayyiduna Abu Hurairahؓ that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Honor is the lower garment of the Lord and greatness is His cloak. (Then he said that Allah Almighty says:) Whoever tries to snatch either of them from Me, I will surely punish him." [مسلم۔ کتاب البر والصلۃ والادب۔ باب تحریم الکبر]
Also, according to a hadith qudsi, Allah Almighty said that grandeur is My cloak and greatness is My lower garment. Therefore, whoever tries to snatch either of these from Me, I will throw him into the Fire. [حواله ايضاً]
Thus, grandeur and supremacy are such attributes that befit only Allah alone, and a believer can never be arrogant. Arrogance and faith are opposites and cannot coexist in a single person.
