to adopt the right path
The name Rashîd is not specifically used as a Beautiful Name in the Qur'ân.
The name al-Rashîd, according to the dictionary Lisân al-'Arab by al-Mukarram, denotes:
The One who is the Director to the right way, and the One whose regulations are conducted to the
attainment of their ultimate objects in the right way, without anyone's aiding in directing their
course aright.
Rashîd refers primarily to being directed to, or set upon, the appointed right path with supreme
certainty of the intended outcome, while Hâdî refers primarily to the continuing guidance,
leadership and direction that is kindly provided to reach the path and also along the path until the
goal is achieved.
The word murshid, meaning a director to the right path, is also derived from this same r-sh-d root.
(Also written as al-rashid, al-rasheed, Director to the Right Path: ya rashid, ya rasheed)
99. As-Sabûr- The Patiently- Enduring, The Most Restrained, The Long-Suffering
O Director! Difficulties will be resolved for those who invoke this glorious Name one thousand times
between the evening and night prayers.The One who does not quickly punish the sinners.
YA SABURU: O Patient One! For relief from trouble or confusion, one should in-voke this glorious
Name three thousand times. Anyone who repeats this name 100 times before sunrise will be
safeguarded against all calamities for the remainder of the day. Moreover, Allah will cause his
enemies not to utter a single word against him. Any person in difficulty should repeat this Ism 1020
times: he will soon find relief and be granted peace and contentment of the heart. Insha-Allah Any
person who is in any kind of problem should read this name 1020 times and his problem will be
solved.
The One who is most patient, steadfast, and enduring. The One who is not moved by haste to carry
out any action before it's proper time.
The One who patiently endures and does everything in its proper time and proper manner, no
matter how long that may take.
The One who patiently accomplishes each thing in its proper time, in the way it needs to be and
according to what it requires.
