Abdur Rauf

Abdur Rauf ( عبد الرؤوف ) is a male Muslim given name. It is built from the Arabic words Abd, al- and Rauf. The name means servant of the Lenient One, Ar-Raūf being one of the names of God in the Quran, which give rise to the Muslim theophoric names.The letter a of the al- is unstressed, and can be transliterated by almost any vowel, often by u. Because the letter r is a sun letter, the letter l of the al- is assimilated to it. Thus although the name is written in Arabic with letters corresponding to Abd al-Rauf, the usual pronunciation corresponds to Abd ar-Rauf. Alternative transliterations include Abdul Raouf and others, all subject to variable spacing and hyphenation.It may refer to:
