الْهَادِي
Al-Hadi
1. Explanation of the Name
Al-Hādī (ٱلْهَادِي) comes from the root
ه-د-ي (H-D-Y), meaning “to guide,” “to direct,” and “to show the way.” This Name proclaims that Allah is
The Guide, Who leads His servants from error into the straight path.
As The One Who Shows the Way, He illuminates our hearts with wisdom and steers us toward that which brings true success.
2. About This Name
Al-Hādī appears throughout the Qur’an to remind us that guidance is a gift from Allah alone.
“Allah is the Protector of those who have faith:
from the depths of darkness He will lead them forth into light.”
— Qur’an 2 : 257
— Qur’an 2 : 257
Invoking Al-Hādī reassures us that, no matter how lost we feel, He is ready to guide us toward His mercy and truth.
3. Spiritual Reflection
Reflecting on Al-Hādī inspires us to seek His direction in all matters—big and small.
“And whoever Allah guides—he is the rightly guided;
and whoever He leaves astray—then those are the losers.”
— Qur’an 7 : 178
