Surah Ar-Rahman 55:27 (Dhul-Jalali wal-Ikram)

Celal is a name of great power and dignity, derived from the Arabic 'Jalal'. It refers to majesty, glory, and the awe-inspiring greatness of Allah. In Islamic theology, Allah's attributes are often divided into 'Jamal' (Beauty) and 'Jalal' (Majesty). While [[Cemal]] represents mercy and grace, Celal represents strength and authority. A person named Celal is often perceived as having a strong, commanding presence and a sense of integrity. It has been a popular name throughout history, especially among leaders and scholars. It is frequently paired with other names but stands strong on its own. It is related to [[Cevat]] and [[Cahid]] in its traditional and virtuous appeal.
