What is the difference between Allah's name "Ar-Ra'uf" and Allah's name "Ar-Rahim"?
The meanings of "Ar-Ra'uf" (the Most Kind) and "Ar-Rahim" (the Most Merciful) are similar. "Ra'fah" (kindness/pity) is intense mercy, and "Ar-Ra'uf" is the one possessing "Ra'fah," which means He is more eloquent in mercy than "Ar-Rahim."
