Meaning & Reflection
Ar-Rafi — The Exalter. This name appears in the Quran and is established in the authenticated teachings of the Prophet ﷺ.
Reflecting on the names of Allah ﷻ is a form of worship. Ibn al-Qayyim wrote that knowing Allah through His names is the foundation of all knowledge — it changes the way we make dua and the way we understand difficulty.
Each name is a door into a different relationship with Allah ﷻ. You do not need to understand all 99 to begin. Start with one.
Reflect
What does it mean for you, today, that Allah is The Exalter? How would holding this name in mind change how you approach what you are carrying right now?
