From the teachings of Hazrat Maulana Shah Abdur Raheem Sahab Dard (Rahmatullah Alaih)
Meaning
An-Naafay (An-Nafi‘) means the Benefactor, the Giver of Benefit: the One who brings goodness and benefit to whom He wills.
Understanding the Name
Every benefit we receive, from medicine that heals to advice that guides, works only because An-Nafi‘ allows it to. “And if He intends for you good, there is no repeller of His bounty” (Yunus 10:107). The Prophet ﷺ taught us to ask for “knowledge that is beneficial” (Ibn Majah).
Seeking benefit from Allah alone protects the believer from relying on people, and teaches him to be a source of benefit to others.
Effects and reflections
The Almighty Lord is the only true Benefactor; no one else can bring goodness. Just as Allah does not harm anyone without reason, He does not grant benefit without reason either. All of this is connected with our actions: sometimes as a consequence of our deeds, sometimes as atonement for our sins, and sometimes to raise us higher.
If the benefit Allah gives leads a person into sin, he becomes deserving of punishment; if he stays away from sin, it is a blessing; and if he excels, he rises in rank.
Treatment (Amal)
Whoever recites “Yā Nāfi‘” abundantly will gain benefit. Reciting it before beginning a task brings benefit in that task, and reciting it after suffering a loss gradually removes the effect of the loss.
