ʻAbd al-Razzāq (
ALA-LC romanization of ar, عبد الرزاق) is a male Muslim given name, and in modern usage, surname. It is built from the Arabic words ''
ʻabd'' and ''al-Razzāq'', one of the
names of God in the Qur'an, which give rise to the
Muslim theophoric names.
It means "servant of the all-provider".
Because the letter ''r'' is a
sun letter
In Arabic and Maltese, the consonants are divided into two groups, called the sun letters or solar letters ( ar, حروف شمسية ', mt, konsonanti xemxin) and moon letters or lunar letters (Arabic: ', mt, konsonanti qamrin), based on whe ...
, the letter ''l'' of the ''al-'' is assimilated to it. Thus although the name is written in Arabic with letters corresponding to ''Abd al-Razzaq'', the usual pronunciation corresponds to ''Abd ar-Razzaq''. Alternative renderings include ''‘Abd ar-Razzaq'', ''Abdul Razzaq'', ''Abdur Razaq'', ''Abdul Razzak'' and others, all subject to variable spacing and hyphenation.
