Sufi Introduction to the 99 Names of Allah and sufi ... - Deen islam

The names Dârr and Nâfi' are often used together to acknowledge the way that balance and
harmony are established and maintained. These opposing attributes are often inseparable, since
that which is the sweetest nectar to one person may be bitter poison to another.
Such opposites help to make one aware that every action accomplishes some purpose and is, in the
grand scheme of things, subservient to the all-knowing hand of Allâh, through whom balance and
harmony are created and maintained... even if we don't understand.
Shaikh Tosun Bayrak wrote:
When man looks at the universe, what he sees is Allâh's will, what he with is Allâh's will, what he
sees is Allâh's will, and what he seems to have chosen is Allâh's will.
And in that manner, the pairs of opposites serve to remind one to constantly focus our attention on
the glory of the One, regardless of whether the situation is smooth and easy or rough and difficult.
There is only one virtue
and one sin for a soul on the path:
virtue when he is conscious of God
and sin when he is not.
Abu Hashim Madani
In the audio sample, the phrase ad-Dârr un Nâfi' is recited.
(Also written as al-nafi, al-naafi, the Creator of Good: y anafi, ya naafi)
93. An-Nûr- The Light, The Illuminator, The One who Reveals
Light. He who gives light to all the worlds, who illuminates the faces, minds and hearts of His
servants. The One who guides.
YA NURU: O Light! Those who invoke this glorious Name will be inwardly enlightened. Any person
who says this Ism 1001 times after reciting the Surah Noor, His heart will become illuminated with
the noor and light of Allah... Insha-Allah. Any person who after offering his prayer for Fajar reads
surah noor and then reads this name 1001 times God will fill his heart with Noor.
The One who is the divine light of all the worlds. The One whose light who illuminates the heart.
The One who is the light of wisdom and guidance. The One whose light clarifies, manifests and
reveals.
The One light by which the obscure is made clear. The One who clears away all darkness and
directs aright.
