Ad-Darr — ٱلضَّارّ

The Distresser · The Afflicter

نقصان دینے والا

Root: ض-ر-ر — Harm, affliction, distress

Category: Names of Power & Sovereignty · In the Quran: not in this form


Meaning — English

Ad-Darr paired with An-Nafi’ represents complete sovereignty over all outcomes. Whatever harm reaches any being, it comes only by His permission and within His plan. This prevents false attributions of harm to independent evil powers or chance. The One who permits harm is the same One who can remove it.


معنی — اردو

الضار نفع و نقصان دونوں پر مطلق اختیار رکھتا ہے۔ جو نقصان بھی پہنچے، اس کی اجازت سے ہے — یہ سمجھ شرک اور تشویش دونوں سے بچاتی ہے۔


In Daily Life

Every hardship passed through Al-Darr’s permission. It was not imposed by an independent evil power. The One who permits harm can also remove it.
