Think about how many times you’ve repented for the same sin – only to find His door of forgiveness and mercy still open for you. Even when absolutely nothing makes sense sometimes, one thing is for sure, Allah SWT is always on your side if you open your heart to Him. Your full trust and acceptance in God’s plans will not only grant you a guided path, but also bring you two steps closer to strengthening your faith. Instead, think about how many times you’ve gone through something and didn’t understand why you were struggling - only to find out later that the outcome was much better than what you had hoped for. Don’t just think about your blessings – which are obvious ways you might feel loved.

Have you ever thought about how God loves you? Take the time to reflect on this question. And Allah loves those that return to Him (i.e: repentance, etc.) and have faith in His plans.Īl-Wadud is mentioned twice in the Qur’an. This includes every single struggle you’ve endured because they’re only meant to bring us closer to Him. All of which are constant reminders of our Creator. To break it down even further and put it into context, Allah SWT is a Al-Wadud because He shows us that He loves us through different aspects such as blessings, trials, protection, etc. Which is why Al-Wadud comes from the word Al-wud– which means the act of love through giving, and not Al-hub, which translates to just “love.”Īl-Wadud emphasizes the active expression of love rather than it just being an emotion. That name is Al-Wadud.It translates to “the affectionate” or “the most loving” – but it holds a much deeper meaning than that. I fell in love with what it represents – and I hope you will, too! After learning more about the name (thanks to a wonderful gathering with friends), it quickly became one of my favorites. Among the 99 names is one that I personally believe is overlooked or not understood fully.
