Treatment using name Al-Kareem

Meaning

Al-Kareem means the Most Generous, the Noble: the One who gives abundantly without being asked, forgives readily and honours His servants.

Understanding the Name

Al-Kareem gives more than is deserved, keeps His promises and overlooks faults. Allah asks: “O mankind, what has deceived you concerning your Lord, the Generous?” (Al-Infitar 82:6). The Qur’an itself is called Qur’anun Kareem, a noble and generous Qur’an (Al-Waqi‘ah 56:77), because it gives endlessly to those who turn to it.

A person touched by this Name becomes generous himself: with his wealth, his time and his forgiveness.

Effects and reflections

People commit sins knowingly or unknowingly, yet Allah, Al-Kareem, does not punish them immediately. He gives them time to realise their mistake, repent and seek forgiveness. Allah says:

إِنَّ أَكْرَمَكُمْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ أَتْقَاكُمْ

“Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you” (Al-Hujurat 49:13). Allah wishes to bless mankind with everything:

صِبْغَةَ اللَّهِ وَمَنْ أَحْسَنُ مِنَ اللَّهِ صِبْغَةً

“The colour of Allah, and who is better than Allah in colouring?” (Al-Baqarah 2:138). Is it not the duty of every person to let this quality of Allah show in himself?
