Question
What is the meaning of Allaah’s name al-Rafeeq (the Most Kind)?
Answer
Praise be to Allah.Allaah
is Kind to His slaves. He is Kind in His actions – He creates all created
beings in stages according to His wisdom and kindness, although He is
Able to create them all at once, in a single moment. Whoever studies
His laws and sees how they came step by step, will see that this bears
testimony to His kindness, may He be glorified.
Allaah
is Kind and He does not hasten, because the one who hastens is the one
who is afraid that he will miss something. But all things are under
His control and dominion, so he does not hasten.
Ibn
al-Qayyim said:
He
is Kind and loves people who are kind; by His kindness He gives them
more than they can wish for.
