Al-Halim — ٱلْحَلِيم
The Forbearing · The Clement
بردبار
Root: ح-ل-م — Deliberate patience, restraint despite having power
Category: Names of Forgiveness & Mercy · In the Quran: 11 times
Meaning — English
Al-Halim does not rush to punish despite having the full power to do so. He withholds punishment to give time for repentance — not because He cannot act, but because He chooses patience. Every sin committed without immediate punishment is Al-Halim in action.
معنی — اردو
الحلیم قدرت رکھتے ہوئے بھی فوری سزا نہیں دیتا — توبہ کا موقع دیتا ہے۔ ہر گناہ جس کی فوری سزا نہیں آئی، الحلیم کا کرم ہے۔
In Daily Life
The patience Allah has shown with your own disobedience is Al-Halim. He could have seized you immediately — instead He gave you another day to return. That is a gift.
