The Name of Allah "العزيز"
Meaning of Al-Azeez. Pyramids of Izah (Power)
Comparing the Azeez of United States with the Azeez of Mexico, the Azeez of United States wins.
Allah is the highest Azeez
Allah is the highest super duper power
To prove that you believe in the name of Allah Al-Azeez, you seek Izah from Allah by pleasing him. Don't seek Izah from other super powers than Allah by pleasing other super powers and displeasing Allah. If you can please all, then good, but if you have to please one and make all others angry then please Allah and make all others angry.
Allah is the heavenly Azeez. He is to be pleased and all other earthly Azeezs come next.
Q. What would you do if an earthly super power is forcing you to disobey the highest super duper Azeez (Allah), such as the case in the inquisition?
A. First try to escape to a place where you are free to obey Al-Azeez. If you can't (such as the case of African American slaves), then keep your heart with Al-Azeez. In other words, set your intentions to obey Al-Azeez as much as you can and maintain a desire to obey Al-Azeez if you can get a chance. You have full control over your heart and no one can change your heart except Allah and you.
