اللَّطِيفُ
Al-Latif
1. Explanation of the Name
Al‑Laṭīf comes from the root
ل‑ط‑ف (L‑Ṭ‑F), meaning “to be gentle,” “to be subtle,” and “to show kindness.” This Name proclaims that Allah is
The Subtle, the Most Gentle, who is aware of the finest details of His creation and bestows kindness in ways that are often unseen.
As The Gentle One, He treats His servants with compassion and grace, guiding and supporting them through subtle signs and hidden blessings.
2. About This Name
Al‑Laṭīf appears in the Qur’an to remind us of Allah’s care in every subtle detail.
— Qur’an 6 : 103
Invoking Al‑Laṭīf helps us become aware of His gentle guidance—through quiet inspirations, small comforts, and hidden provisions.
3. Spiritual Reflection
Reflecting on Al‑Laṭīf invites us to cultivate sensitivity—to the needs of others, to inner promptings, and to the subtle ways Allah supports us.
— Qur’an 11 : 69
When did you notice a quiet blessing or gentle guidance today? Whisper “Yā Laṭīf” and open your heart to more subtle mercies.
Practice showing gentleness: offer a kind word, a listening ear, or a small act of care, reflecting the attribute of Al‑Laṭīf in your daily life.
