اَلرَّافِع
ar-Rāfiʿ
He who Raises
Who raises the humble.
The tongue
From r-f-ʿ: to lift, to hoist, to raise up.
The reason
He raises the humble, the sincere, the unseen. Many a saint has had no other elevation than this — a name unknown to men, written in letters of gold with Him.
The Sufi meaning
True elevation has nothing to do with social rank: it is nearness to God, which often passes by way of the stripping-away of rank.
The servant's portion
Do not seek to rise: seek to be just, and leave elevation to His hand.
