appreciation, affection or release from blame, or or acquiring distinction of mention - he is neither
a giver nor generous, but rather engaged in transaction and recompense. ... But the one who
sacrifices all he owns, even his life, for the sake of God alone - such a one is worthy of being named
giver and generous.

17. Ar-Razzaq-The Provider, the Sustainer, The Providence, The Supplier, The Bestower of
Sustenance
The Provider. He who provides all things useful to His creatures.
YA RAZZAQU: O Provider! The gates of providence are open for those who constantly repeat this
glorious Name.
Anyone who blow in all four corners of his house after saying this Name 10 times in each corner
before Fajr, Allah will open for him the doors of rizq (sustenance); sicknesses and poverty will
