Ash-Shakir

The Appreciative

Exalted and Glorious

And whoever does good voluntarily, the verify Allah is All-Appreciative, All-Knower.  (2:158)

Why should Allah punish you if you have thanked Him and have believed in Him. And Allah is Ever All-Appreciative, All-Knowing.  (4:147)

Allah does not like that the evil should be uttered in public except by him who has been wronged.  And Allah is ever All-Hearer, All-Knower. (4:148)

This name is still another attribute of Allah Who appreciated and recognizes any good which He finds in us.  Through this auspicious name, Allah has invaluable blessing for those whose means of livelihood is limited. When such people recite this sacred name every day 41 times over a cup of water, and rub it on their breast and eyes, there will be a change for the better and troubles will diminish.  Ash-Shakur, mentioned before is more than Ash-Shakir.

Allah Allah Allah
