Welcome to the 99 Names of Allah Series.

Name Number Ninety Two: Ad - Dharr
From the root dad-ra-ra (ض ر ر) which has the following classical Arabic connotations: to have an opinion that is opposing, to apply forceful correction, to do an act that is disliked making inconvenient, annoy, distress, to cause adversity, afflict, to harm, injure, and hurt.
The names al-Nafi and Ad-Darr (The one who benefits and The one who harms) are often explained in pairs to acknowledge their opposing nature. To explain each name in isolation is to break the harmony and provide an inaccurate or less comprehensive depiction of who Allah سُبْحَٰنَهُۥ وَتَعَٰلَىٰ is. The same is true of al-Qabid (The Restrictor) and al-Basit (The Expander), al-Awwal (The First) and al-Akhir (The Last).
