From the teachings of Hazrat Maulana Shah Abdur Raheem Sahab Dard (Rahmatullah Alaih)

Meaning

Al-Wasi means the All-Encompassing, the Boundless: the One whose knowledge, mercy and generosity have no limits, and who gives abundantly.

Understanding the Name

Nothing is too large for Al-Wasi’s mercy and nothing is outside His knowledge. “To Allah belong the East and the West; wherever you turn, there is the Face of Allah. Indeed, Allah is All-Encompassing and All-Knowing” (Al-Baqarah 2:115). He multiplies the reward of charity for whom He wills, “and Allah is All-Encompassing and Knowing” (Al-Baqarah 2:261).

This Name widens the heart of the believer: he stops thinking narrowly, becomes generous, and never feels that Allah’s mercy is too small for him.

Effects and reflections

Whatever we possess, and whatever exists in the universe, is all from Allah.

Every servant of Allah is embraced by Allah, who provides for him from His endless abundance.

Ya Raqib Meaning, Benefits & Wazifa – Ar-Raqib (The Watchful)

Name 43 of 99 · Asma ul Husna

الرَّقِيبُ

Ar-Raqib

The Watchful

یا رقیب کے فوائد، معنی اور وظیفہ

Abjad value312
ReciteYā Raqīb
Count323

From the teachings of Hazrat Maulana Shah Abdur Raheem Sahab Dard (Rahmatullah Alaih)

Meaning

Ar-Raqeeb means the Watchful, the Ever-Observing: the One who watches over all creatures and takes care of them, and from whom nothing is hidden.

Understanding the Name

Allah watches over us at every moment: “Indeed, Allah is ever, over you, an Observer” (An-Nisa’ 4:1). The Sufis call the constant awareness of this muraqabah, a word from the same root, and it is one of the central practices of the path: sitting in the awareness that Allah is watching over the heart.

Muraqabah makes worship sincere and keeps the heart from heedlessness. A person who feels watched over by Ar-Raqeeb is both protected and guided.

Effects and reflections

This quality of Allah reminds His servants at every moment that they are being watched by the Almighty.

Many Muslims today are heading towards ruin by ignoring this fact, thinking that Allah is not watching them. May Allah forgive us. To believe that anyone besides Allah is also one’s true guardian is shirk. Even those who are busy with learning, such as scholars, jurists, hadith experts and huffaz, must keep this awareness; otherwise the ummah divides into many sects, and through division it becomes weak and oppressed. May Allah guide us. Ameen.

Treatment (Amal)

Whoever recites “Yā Raqīb” 323 times after every prayer will, Insha’Allah, receive divine protection for himself and his family from all calamities.

Recite: Yā Raqīb, 323 times
When: After every prayer
Benefit: Protection of self and family from calamities

Reciting with faith

Believe that every cure and every good comes only from Allah. The Name is a means of calling upon Him, as the Qur’an teaches: “To Allah belong the most beautiful Names, so call upon Him by them” (Al-A‘raf 7:180).
Recite with sincerity and full attention, preferably with wudu, in a clean place, understanding the meaning of what you recite.

Ya Karim Meaning, Benefits & Wazifa – Al-Karim (The Most Generous)

Name 42 of 99 · Asma ul Husna

الْكَرِيمُ

Al-Karim

The Most Generous

یا کریم کے فوائد، معنی اور وظیفہ

Abjad value270
ReciteYā Karīm
Count281

From the teachings of Hazrat Maulana Shah Abdur Raheem Sahab Dard (Rahmatullah Alaih)

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?

Treatment (Amal)

Whoever recites “Yā Karīm” 281 times every day before sleeping will be honoured by pious and righteous people.

Recite: Yā Karīm, 281 times
When: Daily, before sleeping
Benefit: Honour among the righteous

Reciting with faith

Believe that every cure and every good comes only from Allah. The Name is a means of calling upon Him, as the Qur’an teaches: “To Allah belong the most beautiful Names, so call upon Him by them” (Al-A‘raf 7:180).
Recite with sincerity and full attention, preferably with wudu, in a clean place, understanding the meaning of what you recite.
Begin and end with Durood Shareef, as the mashaikh advise, and keep the same count and time every day without breaking the routine.
Hold firmly to the obligatory prayers, halal earnings and good conduct, and stay away from sins. An amal bears fruit alongside obedience.

Ya Jalil Meaning, Benefits & Wazifa – Al-Jalil (The Majestic)

Name 41 of 99 · Asma ul Husna

الْجَلِيلُ

Al-Jalil

The Majestic

یا جلیل کے فوائد، معنی اور وظیفہ

Abjad value72
ReciteYā Jalīl
Count83

From the teachings of Hazrat Maulana Shah Abdur Raheem Sahab Dard (Rahmatullah Alaih)

Meaning

Al-Jaleel means the Majestic, the Sublime: the One who possesses all majesty, honour, power and holiness.

Understanding the Name

Al-Jaleel is the One whose majesty fills the heart with awe and reverence. Allah describes Himself as “Possessor of Majesty and Honour” (Ar-Rahman 55:27). His majesty is not harsh: the same Lord who is Majestic is also Most Merciful, and His greatness invites His servants to come closer, not to run away.

Feeling the majesty of Allah gives the believer dignity: he bows to no one but Al-Jaleel, and is not impressed by the false greatness of people.

Effects and reflections

The whole universe exists because of the Sublime One alone; countless signs of His majesty are visible in nature.

The Majestic Allah does not abandon His servants because of their sins. Rather, He says: “Until now you were a sinner! O My servant, now seek forgiveness and ask for My blessings.”

Treatment (Amal)

Whoever writes “Yā Jalīl” with saffron and keeps it with him, and recites it 83 times after every prayer, will, Insha’Allah, be blessed with honour, greatness and status.

Write: Yā Jalīl with saffron; keep it with you
Recite: 83 times after every prayer
Benefit: Honour, greatness and status

Reciting with faith

Believe that every cure and every good comes only from Allah. The Name is a means of calling upon Him, as the Qur’an teaches: “To Allah belong the most beautiful Names, so call upon Him by them” (Al-A‘raf 7:180).

Begin and end with Durood Shareef, as the mashaikh advise, and keep the same count and time every day without breaking the routine.
Hold firmly to the obligatory prayers, halal earnings and good conduct, and stay away from sins. An amal bears fruit alongside obedience.
For illness, continue proper medical treatment together with the amal, and ask a scholar of the silsila if you are unsure about anything.
Be patient and keep trust in Allah. Results come by His will, Insha’Allah, in the way and at the time He knows to be best.

Ya Hasib Meaning, Benefits & Wazifa – Al-Hasib (The Reckoner, the Sufficient)

Name 40 of 99 · Asma ul Husna

الْحَسِيبُ

Al-Hasib

The Reckoner, the Sufficient

یا حسیب کے فوائد، معنی اور وظیفہ

Abjad value80
ReciteYā Ḥasīb
Count91

From the teachings of Hazrat Maulana Shah Abdur Raheem Sahab Dard (Rahmatullah Alaih)

Meaning

Al-Haseeb means the Reckoner and the All-Sufficient: the One who keeps account of everything people do throughout their lives, and who is enough for everyone and everything.

Understanding the Name

The root ḥ-s-b gives two meanings. One is reckoning: “Indeed, Allah is ever, over all things, an Accountant” (An-Nisa’ 4:86). The other is sufficiency, as in Hasbunallahu wa ni‘mal wakil, “Allah is sufficient for us, and He is the best Disposer of affairs” (Al ‘Imran 3:173), the words the believers said when they were threatened.

Whoever makes Allah his sufficiency needs nothing else, and whoever remembers that Allah will take account is careful with every word and deed.

Effects and reflections

Allah asks His servants: “Is Allah not sufficient for His servant?” (Az-Zumar 39:36), and the believer’s answer is “Yes.”

This beautiful Name invites us to reflect that Allah alone is enough for us; in every situation we must obey His command. To regard anything other than Allah as sufficient for oneself leads to kufr (disbelief).

This quality of Allah is enough to protect us from falling into kufr. Allah suffices us with everything, in this world and in the Hereafter.

Treatment (Amal)

To protect oneself from every evil, recite “Yā Ḥasīb” 91 times after every prayer for 40 consecutive days.

Recite: Yā Ḥasīb, 91 times
When: After every prayer, 40 days in a row
Benefit: Protection from every evil

Reciting with faith

Believe that every cure and every good comes only from Allah. The Name is a means of calling upon Him, as the Qur’an teaches: “To Allah belong the most beautiful Names, so call upon Him by them” (Al-A‘raf 7:180).
Recite with sincerity and full attention, preferably with wudu, in a clean place, understanding the meaning of what you recite.
Begin and end with Durood Shareef, as the mashaikh advise, and keep the same count and time every day without breaking the routine.
Hold firmly to the obligatory prayers, halal earnings and good conduct, and stay away from sins. An amal bears fruit alongside obedience.
For illness, continue proper medical treatment together with the amal, and ask a scholar of the silsila if you are unsure about anything.
Be patient and keep trust in Allah. Results come by His will, Insha’Allah, in the way and at the time He knows to be best.

Ya Muqit Meaning, Benefits & Wazifa – Al-Muqit (The Sustainer)

Name 39 of 99 · Asma ul Husna

الْمُقِيتُ

Al-Muqit

The Sustainer

یا مقیت کے فوائد، معنی اور وظیفہ

Abjad value550
ReciteYā Muqīt
Count561

From the teachings of Hazrat Maulana Shah Abdur Raheem Sahab Dard (Rahmatullah Alaih)

Meaning

Al-Muqeet means the Sustainer, the Nourisher: the One who provides every creature with the nourishment it needs, and who keeps watch over all things.

Understanding the Name

The root q-w-t refers to daily food (qut), the nourishment that keeps a body alive. Al-Muqeet gives every creature its sustenance, physical and spiritual: food for the body, knowledge for the mind and faith for the heart. He also oversees and maintains all things: “And ever is Allah, over all things, a Keeper” (An-Nisa’ 4:85).

Recognising Al-Muqeet makes a person content. He knows that his strength each day is a gift, and he uses it in obedience to the One who gave it.

Effects and reflections

The servant of Allah who regards Allah as his Sustainer always finds Allah to be the source of his livelihood and his energy. He is at peace and content in every situation, and his heart says: Alhamdulillahi ‘ala kulli hal, “Praise be to Allah in every condition.”

When he regards Allah as the source of all he owns, he uses it to please Allah, as Allah commands:

إِنَّ صَلَاتِي وَنُسُكِي وَمَحْيَايَ وَمَمَاتِي لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

“Indeed, my prayer, my sacrifice, my living and my dying are for Allah, Lord of the worlds” (Al-An‘am 6:162). The Prophet ﷺ is the one we must follow, because to follow the Prophet ﷺ is to obey Allah:

مَنْ يُطِعِ الرَّسُولَ فَقَدْ أَطَاعَ اللَّهَ

“Whoever obeys the Messenger has obeyed Allah” (An-Nisa’ 4:80). As a result, the servant accepts Allah as the Creator, the King, the Lord and the Giver of knowledge, power and sustenance, and becomes absorbed in His praise and worship.

Treatment (Amal)

To achieve any good, recite “Yā Muqīt” 561 times and blow into an empty earthen pot. Then fill it with water and drink from it.

Recite: Yā Muqīt, 561 times
How: Blow into an empty earthen pot, then fill with water and drink
Benefit: Success in any good aim

Reciting with faith

Believe that every cure and every good comes only from Allah. The Name is a means of calling upon Him, as the Qur’an teaches: “To Allah belong the most beautiful Names, so call upon Him by them” (Al-A‘raf 7:180).
Recite with sincerity and full attention, preferably with wudu, in a clean place, understanding the meaning of what you recite.
Begin and end with Durood Shareef, as the mashaikh advise, and keep the same count and time every day without breaking the routine.
Hold firmly to the obligatory prayers, halal earnings and good conduct, and stay away from sins. An amal bears fruit alongside obedience.
For illness, continue proper medical treatment together with the amal, and ask a scholar of the silsila if you are unsure about anything.

Ya Hafiz Meaning, Benefits & Wazifa – Al-Hafiz (The Preserver)

Name 38 of 99 · Asma ul Husna

الْحَفِيظُ

Al-Hafiz

The Preserver

یا حفیظ کے فوائد، معنی اور وظیفہ

Abjad value998
ReciteYā Ḥafīẓ
Count1009

From the teachings of Hazrat Maulana Shah Abdur Raheem Sahab Dard (Rahmatullah Alaih)

Meaning

Al-Hafeez means the Preserver, the Protector: the One who guards all things from harm, calamity and loss, and who preserves every deed in His record.

Understanding the Name

Allah preserves the heavens and the earth without tiring of it (Al-Baqarah 2:255), He preserved the Qur’an from any change (Al-Hijr 15:9), and He keeps a perfect record of everything we do. When the Prophet Ya‘qub (Jacob) sent his son away, he said: “Allah is the best guardian, and He is the Most Merciful of the merciful” (Yusuf 12:64).

The Prophet ﷺ advised Ibn Abbas: “Guard (the commands of) Allah, and He will guard you.” Whoever protects the limits Allah has set will find Allah protecting him.

Effects and reflections

Whoever accepts Allah as his Protector always finds himself safe and secure, even when surrounded by enemies. We know the well-known event of the Hijrah: during the migration to Madinah, the Prophet ﷺ took shelter in the cave of Thawr. The enemies came so close that Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq (Radiyallahu Anhu) could see their feet and told the Prophet ﷺ, who replied: “Do not grieve; indeed, Allah is with us” (At-Tawbah 9:40).

This is the level of faith at which a servant of Allah always finds himself safe under the protection of Allah.

Treatment (Amal)

To protect oneself from fear, danger and every kind of loss, write “Yā Ḥafīẓ” and keep it with you.

It is even better to recite “Yā Ḥafīẓ” constantly and engrave it on the heart, or to recite it 1,009 times after every prayer. Insha’Allah, it will be effective.

Recite: Yā Ḥafīẓ, 1,009 times after every prayer
Or: Write it and keep it with you
Benefit: Protection from fear, danger and loss

Reciting with faith

Believe that every cure and every good comes only from Allah. The Name is a means of calling upon Him, as the Qur’an teaches: “To Allah belong the most beautiful Names, so call upon Him by them” (Al-A‘raf 7:180).
Recite with sincerity and full attention, preferably with wudu, in a clean place, understanding the meaning of what you recite.
Begin and end with Durood Shareef, as the mashaikh advise, and keep the same count and time every day without breaking the routine.
Hold firmly to the obligatory prayers, halal earnings and good conduct, and stay away from sins. An amal bears fruit alongside obedience.
For illness, continue proper medical treatment together with the amal, and ask a scholar of the silsila if you are unsure about anything.
Be patient and keep trust in Allah. Results come by His will, Insha’Allah, in the way and at the time He knows to be best.

Ya Kabir Meaning, Benefits & Wazifa – Al-Kabir (The Most Great)

Name 37 of 99 · Asma ul Husna

الْكَبِيرُ

Al-Kabir

The Most Great

یا کبیر کے فوائد، معنی اور وظیفہ

Abjad value132
ReciteYā Kabīr
Count143

From the teachings of Hazrat Maulana Shah Abdur Raheem Sahab Dard (Rahmatullah Alaih)

Meaning

Al-Kabeer means the Most Great: the One who is greater than everything, and before whom everything else is small.

Understanding the Name

We announce this Name many times a day in Allahu Akbar, “Allah is greater”, which begins every prayer and fills the call to prayer. The Qur’an describes Allah as “the Knower of the unseen and the seen, the Most Great, the Most Exalted” (Ar-Ra‘d 13:9).

Whenever a person feels that something in this world is too big for him, whether a problem, a fear or a temptation, saying Allahu Akbar reminds him that Allah is greater than all of it.

Effects and reflections

The effect of this quality on a pious servant of Allah should be that, in humility, he considers himself small, and considers everything in the universe small compared with Allah. He acts according to what Allah likes and commands, and gives up all laziness in doing so.

It is the duty of the small to bow before the Great, Allah. Those who do not reflect on this regard created things as the greatest, and in their ignorance kill one another. May Allah, the Most Great, have mercy on us. Ameen.

Treatment (Amal)

A person who has been dismissed from his post or job should fast for seven days and recite “Yā Kabīr” 143 times after every prayer. Insha’Allah, he will regain his position with honour and dignity, and gain respect.

Fast: 7 days
Recite: Yā Kabīr, 143 times after every prayer
For: Regaining a lost job or position

Reciting with faith

Believe that every cure and every good comes only from Allah. The Name is a means of calling upon Him, as the Qur’an teaches: “To Allah belong the most beautiful Names, so call upon Him by them” (Al-A‘raf 7:180).
Recite with sincerity and full attention, preferably with wudu, in a clean place, understanding the meaning of what you recite.
Begin and end with Durood Shareef, as the mashaikh advise, and keep the same count and time every day without breaking the routine.
Hold firmly to the obligatory prayers, halal earnings and good conduct, and stay away from sins. An amal bears fruit alongside obedience.
For illness, continue proper medical treatment together with the amal, and ask a scholar of the silsila if you are unsure about anything.

Ya Aliyy Meaning, Benefits & Wazifa – Al-Aliyy (The Most High)

Name 36 of 99 · Asma ul Husna

الْعَلِيُّ

Al-Aliyy

The Most High

یا علی کے فوائد، معنی اور وظیفہ

Abjad value110
ReciteYā ‘Aliyy
Count121

From the teachings of Hazrat Maulana Shah Abdur Raheem Sahab Dard (Rahmatullah Alaih)

Meaning

Al-Aliyy means the Most High, the Exalted: the One who is above everything in His essence, His power and His rank.

Understanding the Name

Al-Aliyy is high above His creation in every sense: none can reach His level, and nothing is hidden from Him. Ayat al-Kursi ends with the words “And He is the Most High, the Magnificent” (Al-Baqarah 2:255), and in every sajdah we say Subhana Rabbiyal A‘la, “Glory be to my Lord, the Most High.” It is beautiful that we glorify Allah as the Most High at the very moment our heads are at their lowest.

Recognising Al-Aliyy keeps the believer humble, and lifts his ambitions above worldly things towards what pleases his Lord.

Effects and reflections

The effect of this quality on a pious servant of Allah should be that he does not consider anyone other than Allah to be the Most High, however great they may seem. He should seek help from Allah alone, wholeheartedly, for all his needs.

He should keep in mind the character of Hazrat Ali (Radiyallahu Anhu), and depend only on Allah for the fulfilment of all his wishes and needs.

Treatment (Amal)

To be blessed with success and happiness, recite “Yā ‘Aliyy” 121 times after every prayer. Insha’Allah, Allah will raise him, grant him prosperity and fulfil all his lawful wishes.

Recite: Yā ‘Aliyy, 121 times
When: After every prayer
Benefit: Success, prosperity and fulfilled wishes

Reciting with faith

Believe that every cure and every good comes only from Allah. The Name is a means of calling upon Him, as the Qur’an teaches: “To Allah belong the most beautiful Names, so call upon Him by them” (Al-A‘raf 7:180).
Recite with sincerity and full attention, preferably with wudu, in a clean place, understanding the meaning of what you recite.
Begin and end with Durood Shareef, as the mashaikh advise, and keep the same count and time every day without breaking the routine.
Hold firmly to the obligatory prayers, halal earnings and good conduct, and stay away from sins. An amal bears fruit alongside obedience.
For illness, continue proper medical treatment together with the amal, and ask a scholar of the silsila if you are unsure about anything.

Ya Shakur Meaning, Benefits & Wazifa – Ash-Shakur (The Most Appreciative)

Name 35 of 99 · Asma ul Husna

الشَّكُورُ

Ash-Shakur

The Most Appreciative

یا شکور کے فوائد، معنی اور وظیفہ

Abjad value526
ReciteYā Shakūr
Count537

From the teachings of Hazrat Maulana Shah Abdur Raheem Sahab Dard (Rahmatullah Alaih)

Meaning

Ash-Shakoor means the Most Appreciative, the Rewarder of thankfulness: the One who values even the smallest good deed and rewards it many times over.

Understanding the Name

Allah does not need our worship, yet He appreciates every sincere act, multiplies its reward and increases His blessings on those who are grateful. He says: “Indeed, our Lord is Forgiving and Appreciative” (Fatir 35:34).

Gratitude, in turn, is the key that opens more blessings. The more a person thanks Allah with his heart, his tongue and his actions, the more Allah gives him.

Effects and reflections

Allah says in the Qur’an:

لَئِن شَكَرْتُمْ لَأَزِيدَنَّكُمْ

La’in shakartum la-azeedannakum: “If you are grateful, I will surely increase you” (Ibrahim 14:7).

Allah loves those servants who are thankful to Him and who glorify and praise Him. He raises them in rank until they are counted among His beloved ones.

The peace and satisfaction that come from reflecting on this quality of Allah cannot be expressed in words. It cannot be explained; it must be experienced personally by reciting “Yā Shakūr” sincerely and wholeheartedly.

Treatment (Amal)

Reciting “Yā Shakūr” is, Insha’Allah, beneficial for those caught in hardship, poverty and distress.

Reciting it 537 times after the Fajr prayer with sincerity will, Insha’Allah, fulfil the needs of the one in need.

Recite: Yā Shakūr, 537 times
When: After Fajr
Benefit: Relief from hardship and fulfilment of needs

Reciting with faith

Believe that every cure and every good comes only from Allah. The Name is a means of calling upon Him, as the Qur’an teaches: “To Allah belong the most beautiful Names, so call upon Him by them” (Al-A‘raf 7:180).
Recite with sincerity and full attention, preferably with wudu, in a clean place, understanding the meaning of what you recite.
Begin and end with Durood Shareef, as the mashaikh advise, and keep the same count and time every day without breaking the routine.
Hold firmly to the obligatory prayers, halal earnings and good conduct, and stay away from sins. An amal bears fruit alongside obedience.
For illness, continue proper medical treatment together with the amal, and ask a scholar of the silsila if you are unsure about anything.
Be patient and keep trust in Allah. Results come by His will, Insha’Allah, in the way and at the time He knows to be best.
