Reading Karrar through Ilm ul Huroof

Karrar: Kaf (ك) — sufficiency. Ra (ر) — perpetual mercy. Alif (ا) — origin. Ra (ر) — perpetual mercy again. Divine sufficiency — perpetual mercy — origin — perpetual mercy. The charging warrior: drawing from divine sufficiency, moving with perpetual mercy in both directions, rooted in origin. Double Ra gives double perpetual mercy — he charges with mercy and returns with mercy.
