Is Al-Kafi among the Beautiful Names of Allah, and what is the evidence for that?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Allah Almighty is described as sufficient for His servants in all their needs. This attribute is established by the Quran and Sunnah. Among the proofs for this are His sayings, may He be exalted: "Allah will suffice you against them" (Quran 2:137) and "Is not Allah sufficient for His Servant?" (Quran 39:36). From the Sunnah, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, would say upon going to sleep: "All praise is due to Allah who fed us, gave us drink, sufficed us, and sheltered us." The name "Al-Kāfi" (The Sufficient) is mentioned among the beautiful names of Allah by Ibn Majah, and it was mentioned by Ibn al-Arabi and Ibn Hajar as one of Allah's names.
