The next divine name is Al Ghani, which means the Rich. Allah, the Exalted, is rich beyond needing anything whereas the creation are poor and are completely in need of Him.
The muslim who understands this divine name will seek all things from Allah, the Exalted, through sincere obedience by fulfilling His commands, refraining from His prohibitions and by facing destiny with patience.
A muslim must act on this divine name by striving to become independent of people and only rely on Allah, the Exalted. In fact, becoming independent of the material world and the possessions of people will lead to the love of Allah, the Exalted, and the love of people according to a Hadith found in Sunan Ibn Majah, number 4102.
The next divine name is Al Dhaar Al Nafi, which means the One who decrees harm and decrees benefits. Allah, the Exalted, decrees harm to those who remain steadfast on persistent disobedience. But even in this harm there is much good such as wiping away one’s sins before reaching Judgment Day. This is confirmed in a Hadith found in Sahih Muslim, number 6561.
A muslim who understands this divine name will strive to receive benefits from Allah, the Exalted, and avoid harm through sincere obedience.
A muslim must act on this divine name by keeping their harm away from others and only providing them with benefits according to their means. This in fact is the characteristic of a true believer according to a Hadith found in Sunan An Nasai, number 4998.
