الْبَاعِثُ
Al-Baʿith
1. Explanation of the Name
Al‑Bāʾith comes from the root
ب‑ع‑ث (B‑ʿ‑TH), meaning “to raise,” “to revive,” and “to resurrect.” This Name proclaims that Allah is
The Resurrector, who brings the dead back to life on the Day of Judgment and renews all creation by His command.
As The One Who Raises the Dead, His power over life and death is absolute—He revives the earth after its lifeless state and will resurrect every soul for recompense.
2. About This Name
Al‑Bāʾith appears in the Qur’an to remind us of Allah’s authority over life and death and the certainty of resurrection.
— Qur’an 50 : 20–21
Reflecting on this Name instills awe and hope: awe at His power to resurrect, and hope in His mercy when raising us to receive His reward.
3. Spiritual Reflection
Reflecting on Al‑Bāʾith encourages us to live with accountability and purpose, ever mindful of the life to come and the renewal He will grant.
— Qur’an 11 : 123
How does the certainty of resurrection influence your daily choices? Whisper “Yā Bāʾith” and consider your purpose.
Identify one habit or act of worship to strengthen—such as nightly remembrance or a small charity—and commit to it as preparation for the life to come.
