AR-RA'UF

(The Benign One)

The Most Kind, The Tenderly Merciful, The Clement and Compassionate

Allah is Ar-Ra'uf, The One who is extremely compassionate. He is The One who's mercy will endow whoever he willed among His creatures. Whatever Allah decrees is done with perfect judgement and He is never harsh or unjust in his rulings.

From the root r-a'-f which has the following classical Arabic connotations: to be kind, gentle, clement to be merciful, compassionate to show pity to show tenderness

Allah has already forgiven the Prophet and the Muhajireen and the Ansar who followed him in the hour of difficulty after the hearts of a party of them had almost inclined [to doubt], and then He forgave them. Indeed, He was to them Kind and Merciful. (Quran 9:117)
