The One who uplifts and elevates mankind above petty desires and selfishness.
The One who makes it possible to rise above the differences and distinctions that divide mankind.
From the root r-f-' which has the following classical Arabic connotations:
to raise or elevate something
to uplift, to take it up
to make high, lofty
to exalt, make honorable, make eminent
to bring a thing near
The name Râfi' is not specifically used as a Beautiful Name in the Qur'ân.
Râfi' (uplifter) is the opposite of Khâfid (humbler).
The names Khâfid and Râfi' are often used together to acknowledge the way that balance and
harmony are established and maintained though the interplay of cause and effect.
Mu'izz (honorer) is similar to, but much more more intensive and glorious than, Râfi' (uplifter).
The phrase al Khâfid ur Râfi' is recited in the audio sample.
(Also written as al-rafi, ar-rafi, al-raafi, ar-raafi, the Uplifter: ya rafi ,ya raafi)
24. Al-Mu’iz-The Giver of Honourer, the Exalter, The Strengthener, The Glorifier
The Honorer, He who confers honor and dignity. He gives esteem to whoever He willed, hence
there is no one to degrade Him;
YA MU°IZZU; O Honorer! Allah grants dignity to those who invoke this Name one 140 times after the
late prayer on Monday or Friday, and they will have nothing to fear but the Exalted Thith
If this beautiful name of Allah is said 40 times after Maghrib on every Monday and Friday, Allah will
grant the reader and reverence Insha-Allah. Any person who reads this name 40 times after every
prayer of Magrib God will bless him with respect in front of others.
The One who gives invincible strength and honor.
The One who grants honor and power. The One who strengthens and glorifies.
The One who makes it possible for someone or something to be respected, cherished and mighty.

to be mighty, potent, strong, powerful
to be high, elevated, noble, exalted
to be honorable, noble, glorious, illustrious
to be indomitable, invincible
