83 AL RAUF – THE ONLY ONE WHO UNDERSTANDS

THE ONE WHO IS MERCIFUL EVEN TO THE UNDESERVING AND WHOSE TOLERANCE, KINDNESS AND GENTLENESS ARE BOUNDLESS.

 

وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ بِكُمْ لَرَءُوفٌ رَحِيمٌ
“… and indeed Allah is the Only One Who understands and is extra kind to Believers. ” 57:9

Al Rauf is a more intensified form of Rahmaan and Raheem.

Even in times of distress and affliction, Al Rauf shows tenderness.

“No Muslim is afflicted with any harm but that Allah will remove his sins as the leaves of a tree fall down.” Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)
