Al-Muntaqim - The Avenger

Al-Muntaqim is the One who breaks the back of the arrogant, the One who severely punishes the perpetrators and presses punishment upon the tyrants. He does that after excusing them (that is to say, after forgiving earlier sins), (after giving them many) warnings, making (repentance) possible and (granting them) time to reconsider and a brief respite. This is stronger vengeance than the quick infliction of a penalty, for if the penalty is hastened one does not sink deeper into disobedience and one does not incur extremely severe punishment.
