Name 23 / 100 · 🌙 Majesty
اَلْخَافِض
al-Khāfiḍ
He who Lowers
Who brings down the proud.
The tongue
From kh-f-ḍ; literally: to make descend, to incline downward.
The reason
He lowers unjust powers, empty renowns, empires that believe themselves eternal. History is the great narrative of this Name.
The Sufi meaning
But He also lowers in order to raise: the buried grain descends before it rises. Every humiliation accepted prepares an elevation.
The servant's portion
Lower yourself of your own accord: spare God from having to do it.
