Urdu

لطیف

لطیف عربی نام ہے جس کا مطلب ہے 'مہربان'، 'نرم'، یا 'باریک بین'۔ یہ اللہ کے نام 'اللطیف' سے ماخوذ ہے جس کا مطلب ہے 'باریک بین'، 'مہربان'۔ یہ نام قرآن مجید میں اللہ کی نرمی اور باریک بینی کو ظاہر کرتا ہے۔ اللطیف اپنے بندوں کے ساتھ نرمی کرتا ہے اور ان کی ضروریات کو پوشیدہ طریقوں سے پورا کرتا ہے۔ یہ نام مہربانی اور اللہ کی حکمت پر بھروسہ کرنے کی ترغیب دیتا ہے۔

Arabic

لَطِيف

لطيف اسم عربي يعني 'الرفيق' أو 'اللطيف' أو 'البارع'. مشتق من اسم الله 'اللطيف' الذي يعني 'الرفيق' و 'العالم بدقائق الأمور'. يظهر هذا الاسم في القرآن الكريم تأكيداً على لطف الله ورحمته. اللطيف يلطف بعباده ويعلم دقائق أمورهم. يشجع الاسم على التحلي بالرفق واللطف والثقة بحكمة الله الخفية.
