Al-Mudhill: He Who makes low <strong>and</strong> abased.<br />

Al-Mu'izz: He who gives might <strong>to</strong> whomever He will.<br />

Al-Mu'izz <strong>and</strong> Al-Mudhill are two <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ninety-Nine <strong>Names</strong>.<br />

"You exalt whoever You will. You abase whoever You will." (3:26)<br />

Al-Khâfid, Ar-Râfi': The Abaser, The Exalter<br />

Ar-Râfi': <strong>the</strong> Exalter, (see above under <strong>Names</strong> <strong>of</strong> Perfection)<br />

Al-Khâfid: The Abaser <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> proud, haughty <strong>and</strong> insolent; <strong>the</strong> Abaser <strong>of</strong> all He desires <strong>to</strong> abase,<br />

abasing some <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> Fire <strong>and</strong> raising some <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> Garden.<br />

Ar-Rafi' <strong>and</strong> Al-Khafid are two <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ninety-Nine <strong>Names</strong>.<br />

"When <strong>the</strong> Great Event occurs, none will deny its occurrence; bringing low, raising<br />

high." (56:1-3)<br />

An-Nâsir, Al-Khâdhil: The Helper, The Disappointer<br />

Al-Khadhil;: When <strong>Allah</strong> fails <strong>to</strong> preserve a man from an evil action, so that he does it. To abstain<br />

from helping someone, <strong>to</strong> desert him. See 3:154.<br />

An-Nasir: Aider or assister, especially against an enemy, <strong>the</strong> One who grants vic<strong>to</strong>ry.<br />

"<strong>Allah</strong> knows best who your enemies are. <strong>Allah</strong> suffices as a Protec<strong>to</strong>r. <strong>Allah</strong> suffices<br />

as a Helper." (4:45)<br />

"If <strong>Allah</strong> helps you, no one can vanquish you. If He forsakes you, who can help you<br />

after that?" (3:160)<br />

Al-Muzîl: The Separa<strong>to</strong>r<br />
