Al-Barr

This name in the Quran

Each ayah below was read in its context and confirmed by two independent reviews, on one question: does this word name Allah here. Where the two disagreed the ayah was dropped. Some of them carry the name as a verb or in another form rather than as the noun itself.

1. إِنَّا كُنَّا مِن قَبۡلُ نَدۡعُوهُۖ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلۡبَرُّ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ۝٢٨

   Indeed, we used to supplicate¹⁵⁵⁶ Him before. Indeed, it is He who is the Beneficent, the Merciful."

   1. 1556 i.e., worship.
