الرَّفِيقُ

Ar-Rafeeq - Allah is gentle in His actions, His legislation and His judgement. He created the creation and legislated laws in gradual stages with His immense wisdom and in such a way as to make these laws appropriate and simple for his servants. Ar-Rafeeq also means the One who treats His servants with kindness and leniency.

Occurrence: This name is not mentioned in the Holy Qur’an but rather in the Prophet’s Sunnah.

Evidence: The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, “Allah is gentle and loves those who are gentle. He gives for gentleness that which He does not give for harshness.” (Reported by Ahmad)
