Explanation

Al-Maajid (similar to Al-Majeed) is the Glorious, the Noble, the Magnificent. While Al-Majeed refers to the abundance of His glory and majesty, Al-Maajid emphasizes His inherent nobility and the beautiful way He treats His creation. He is noble in His forgiveness, glorious in His giving, and magnificent in His patience. His glory is perfect and untarnished by the sins of humanity.

Virtues & Benefits

Reciting "Ya Maajid" purifies the heart and grants the reciter a noble character. It is recited to attain honor in this world and the next, by attaching oneself to the Source of all nobility.
