خَافِضَةٌۭ رَّافِعَةٌ
“It (the day of judgement) will Humble and Raise”. 56:3
The quality of raising comes from within expanding the perception of the heart to recognise Divine Guidance as the only way to reach one’s full potential.
يَرْفَعِ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مِنكُمْ وَٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْعِلْمَ دَرَجَـٰتٍۢ
“..Allah will raise those amongst you who believe and have knowledge to a high status….” 58:11
Acknowledging ignorance leads to humility and ultimately the seeking of knowledge which brings one closer to one’s own truth and closer to Ar Raafi’.
When the soil and water that the seed absorbs to break open, a plant emerges and raises itself above the ground. The seed knows that its elevation can only be achieved by being shattered. Ar Raafi’ elevates to Himself with means that often cannot be understood.
Recite YAA RAAFI’ to gain closeness to Allah and to reach one’s personal best.
