Ar-Razzaq
1. Explanation of the Name

The Supreme Provider, who dispenses sustenance and resources in perfect measure to all His creatures.
As The Ever‑Sustaining, He maintains life by granting food, shelter, knowledge, and opportunity—both seen and unseen—according to His boundless mercy.
2. About This Name
Ar‑Razzāq appears in the Qur’an to remind us that every provision ultimately comes from Allah’s inexhaustible bounty.
— Qur’an 11 : 6
Recognizing Him as Ar‑Razzāq deepens our trust and gratitude, knowing He alone controls the flow of blessings and sustenance for every living being.
3. Spiritual Reflection
Reflecting on Ar‑Razzāq encourages us to rely on Allah for our needs and to share generously from the provisions He grants us.
— Qur’an 51 : 58
Recall one unexpected provision you received recently. Whisper “Yā Razzāq” and feel your heart fill with gratitude.
Use a portion of your provision—time, wealth, or skills—to help someone in need, reflecting Allah’s generosity as Ar‑Razzāq.
