According to Dr Sharib:
'Al-Mutakabbir is the One, to Whom all glory, majesty, power and
greatness are due.'
To emulate the name one should reject pride, arrogance, and avoid
developing a superiority complex.
Appropriate recitation can confer honour, prestige and respect upon
one.
see 'The 99 Most Beautiful Names of Allah' by Dr Zahurul Hassan Sharib
Some other references:
Al-Ghazali says that the only true pride is God's Pride because it is
justified pride since all is beneath only Him.
He counsels that the proud amongst men is the 'knower' who is skilled in
renunciation of both the worlds. Removing himself from everything or
anything that could distract from the truth. The one who is not a true
knower however is merely involved in a transaction - renouncing the
things of this world for the things of the next world. The proud one
despises every passion and gain that the beasts might conceivably
share in.
(Al-Ghazali - The Ninety-nine Beautiful Names of God. Trans. Burrel/Daher: ITS: 1992.)
Here are some extracts from The Qasida of Ghous-ul Azam (Hazrat
Abdul Qadir al-Jillani.)
'The rank is high of all of you but
My rank is higher than all of you.
I am alone in the presence of Unity....'
and
'O, my disciples do not feel worried, God is my sustainer,
He has bestowed such a high position on me wherefrom I get my
ambitions fulfilled.
My name has resounded in the sky and on the earth
And I am seeing the herald of good fortune......'
and
'My foot is on the shoulders of other saints'
from Ghous-ul-Azam Piran-i-Pir by Dr Z.H. Sharib
Well known in Sufism are the expressions of ecstasy in which union with
God brings about statements of extreme pride that can only be justified
in an individual on the basis of that union.
'Glory be to Me' reported of Hazrat Bayazid Bistami
and
'I am the Truth' reported of Hazrat Mansur al-Hallaj
Mevlana Rumi likens these expressions to the glow from a white hot
poker when it may justly say 'I am fire' - this is both true, in as much as
the nature of the metal of the poker has become overpowered by the
nature of the fire, and not true as is seen when the poker cools.
