Al-Hafeez (الْحَفِيظ)
The Preserver
Linguistic Origins & Arabic Root
Root: ح - ف - ظ (H-F-Z)
Etymology: Preserving, safeguarding against loss, remembering with precision.
Spelling & Pronunciation
Written: الحفيظ — alif · lam · ha · fa · ya · za.
The article: Arabic ha (ح) is a moon letter, so the lam of the definite article ال stays audible. The Name keeps its Al- form, unlike the fourteen sun letters, which absorb the lam.
Also written: Al-Hafiz, Al Hafeez — all romanisations of الحفيظ, which has no single official spelling in the Latin alphabet.
Mention in the Holy Quran
“Indeed, my Lord is Guardian and Preserver over all things.”
— Surah Hud (11:57)
Spiritual Significance & Contemplation
Al-Hafeez sustains the planetary orbits, shields believers from spiritual ruin, and preserves the Sacred Text without alteration across millennia.
