O'Alah al-Ahi, Wamanwala'hamabad. We are continuing in our discussion of the names and attributes of Allah Subhana with

al-A and today we have now moved on to the name of Allah. We're going to move on to

the name of Allah Trief. And the name of Allah Tif.

And the name of Allah al-L-Tif comes from the verb Latofa.

And the verb Latafa, actually it's a very profound in a deep verb and it has multiple connotations but the primary

meaning of this verb is the lightness of being and presence to not make your presence even known,

to be very discreet and not show,

it's a very hidden type of presence.

And we see this verb manifest it in Surit al-Kahaf in the story of the

sleepers of the cave. Remember they went to sleep for 300 plus years and they woke

up and they didn't realize how long they had slept.

And Allah says that their leader said to them, here take this money, take this waraka, take this money

and go to the city,

Wahl Jätathf and Bylatif.

So from this, everybody can understand what is the meaning of Bilatrif.

Well, Yatalatov, be very careful, nobody recognizes you, be discreet, go and make sure nobody

your presence felt. This is the actual meaning of Latofa, the primary meaning of Latofa. And there's also a connotation of being aware.
