gone to sleep a person should read this name 70 times in all the four corners of his house then if a
person has been lost or gone from his house will return back.
The One who restores and repeats all that has been created. The One who constantly renews,
revives and repeats creation.
The One who restores and revives the spiritual essence of every person. The One who repeatedly
renews mankind's proper relationship with goodness.
The One who repeatedly restores and revives creation, both physically and spiritually.
From the root '-w-d which has the following classical Arabic connotations:
to return to something
to repeat, reproduce, to come back
to restore, to renew
The term Mu'îd is not specifically used as a Beautiful Name in the Qur'ân.
The terms al-Mubdi' (the Starter) and al-Mu'îd (the Restorer) are often used together in the hadith,
and are also paired together by many commentators including al-Ghazâlî who described them as:
al-Mubdi' (the Beginner) al-Mu'îd (the Restorer) - these terms mean the One who bestows existence,
and when this origination is not preceded by something like it, it is called a beginning; but when it
is preceded by something like it, then it is called restoration.... all things began with Him and are
restored to Him; began in Him and in Him are restored.
And similarly, the two attributes al-Mubdi' al-Mu'îd are defined in the lexicon Tâj al-'Arûs as:
He who createth mankind, and who returneth them after life to death...
Related names:
Mubdi' is the One who initiates, starts or begins the production or creation of all things.

Bâri' is the way the One works with substances, often creating from existing matter, making and
evolving that which is free and clear of imperfections, free and clear of any other thing.
Khâliq is the One who continues to plan, measure out and create and who has the power to change
things from one state to another, in and out of existence.

(Also written as al-mu'id, al-muid, al-mu'eed, al-mueed, the Restorer: ya muid, ya mu'eed, ya
