Welcome to the 99 Names of Allah Series.

Name Number Ninety Three: An - Nafi


From the root nun-fa-ayn (ن ف ع) which has the following classical Arabic connotations: to profit, to be of use, to be beneficial, useful to have the use of something.
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).
