الْحَفِيظُ
Al-hafiz
1. Explanation of the Name
Al‑Ḥāfiẓ comes from the root
ح‑ف‑ظ (Ḥ‑F‑Ẓ), meaning “to guard,” “to preserve,” and “to protect.” This Name proclaims that Allah is
The Preserver of All, who watches over every creature, memory, and moment, ensuring nothing is lost or erased.
As The Guardian, He secures our faith, our lives, and the entire universe—nothing escapes His vigilant care and protection.
2. About This Name
Al‑Ḥāfiẓ appears in the Qur’an to remind us that Allah’s protection is constant and absolute.
— Qur’an 33 : 48
Invoking Al‑Ḥāfiẓ reassures us that our secrets, our safety, and our futures are held securely in His hands.
3. Spiritual Reflection
Reflecting on Al‑Ḥāfiẓ invites us to trust in Allah’s safeguarding presence—relinquishing fear of loss and finding comfort in His watchful guardianship.
— Qur’an 22 : 38
What fear of losing something (faith, health, provision) weighs on you? Whisper “Yā Ḥāfiẓ” and feel His protection surrounding you.
Identify one area you wish to protect more diligently—your heart, your time, or your trust—and seek Allah’s help in preserving it.
