Urdu

رؤف

رؤف عربی اصل کا نام ہے جس کا مطلب ہے 'شفقت کرنے والا'، 'محبت کرنے والا'۔ یہ 'رأف' کی مبالغہ کی شکل ہے جس کا مطلب ہے 'مہربان'، 'نرم دل'۔ یہ نام اللہ کے ناموں میں سے ایک ہے جس کا مطلب ہے 'بے حد شفقت کرنے والا'۔ یہ نام قرآن مجید میں اللہ کی نرمی اور شفقت کو ظاہر کرتا ہے۔ الرؤف الرحیم سے زیادہ گہری اور نرم رحمت کو ظاہر کرتا ہے۔ یہ نام اللہ کی صفت کو اپنانے اور دوسروں پر شفقت کرنے کی ترغیب دیتا ہے۔

🇸🇦
Arabic

رَؤُف

رؤف اسم عربي يعني 'الرؤوف' و 'الحنون'. هو صيغة مبالغة من 'رَئِف' الذي يعني 'اللطيف' و 'العطوف'. رؤف من أسماء الله الحسنى في الإسلام، بمعنى 'الرؤوف' و 'الرحيم'. يظهر هذا الاسم في القرآن الكريم تأكيداً على رحمة الله ولطفه. الرؤوف يفيد رحمة أعم وألطف من الرحيم. يشجع الاسم على التحلي بالرأفة والرحمة مع الناس.
