In the library's own words

How the scholars invoke Al-Māniʿ.

  1. "His name "Al-Hakim" (The Wise) must have a context in which His wisdom is manifested, as the necessity of these names for their effects is like the necessity of the name "Al-Khaliq" (The Creator), "Ar-Raziq" (The Provider), "Al-Mu'ti" (The Giver), "Al-Mani'" (The Withholder) for the created, the provided, the given, and the withheld."

    — Ibn al-Qayyim, Volume One
