Meaning of Hadi
Hadi means “guide” or “someone who guides people towards the truth, or towards the Straight Path“. Hadi is one of the 99 Names of Allah.
The name Hadi suggests wisdom, moral uprightness, and gentleness.
Ibn Al-Athir Al-Jazri, the great Islamic scholar of Saladin’s time, describes the Attribute as describing this aspect of Allah (subhanahu wa ta’ala): “He is the one who has given His servants the ability to see, and has shown them the way toward knowing Him, until they bore witness that He is their God, and He has guided every creation toward whatever it needs to exist and survive.”
“Whoever Allah sends astray – there is no guide for him. And He leaves them in their transgression, wandering blindly.” (7:186)
“And in this way We have assigned to every prophet an enemy from among the criminals. And your Lord is enough for you as a guide and supporter.” (25:31)
Further Quranic Verses
“Indeed, you do not make the dead hear, nor do you make the deaf hear the call when they turn their backs, retreating. Verse 81: “And you are not a guide for the blind against their error. You will only make hear those who believe in Our verses so they are Muslims [in submission to Allah].” (Quran 27:80:81)
But if We should send a [bad] wind and they saw [their crops] turned yellow, they would remain thereafter disbelievers. So indeed, you will not make the dead hear, nor will you make the deaf hear the call when they turn their backs, retreating. And you cannot act as a guide to the blind to turn them away from their error. You will only make hear those who believe in Our verses so they are Muslims [submitting to Allah]. Allah is the one who created you from weakness, then made after weakness strength, then made after strength weakness and white hair. He creates what He wills, and He is the Knowing, the Competent. (Quran 30:51-54)
