Ar-Razzaq (الرَّزَّاق)
The Provider
Linguistic Origins & Arabic Root
Root: ر - ز - ق (R-Z-Q)
Etymology: Continuous sustenance, nourishment for body and spirit.
Spelling & Pronunciation
Written: الرزاق — alif · lam · ra · zay · alif · qaf.
The article: Arabic ra (ر) is a sun letter, so the lam of the definite article ال assimilates into it. That is why the Name is pronounced Ar-Razzaq rather than Al-Razzaq. Fourteen of the twenty-eight Arabic letters behave this way.
Also written: Ar Razzaq, Al-Razzaq, Al Razzaq — all romanisations of الرزاق, which has no single official spelling in the Latin alphabet.
Mention in the Holy Quran
“Indeed, it is Allah who is the Continual Provider, the firm possessor of strength.”
— Surah Adh-Dhariyat (51:58)
Spiritual Significance & Contemplation
Ar-Razzaq guarantees nourishment for every creature before creating it—providing bread and water for bodies, and revelation and peace for human souls.
