Why Allah uses this name
Sūrat al-Wāqiʿah describes the Day itself as 'abasing, exalting' (khāfiḍah rāfiʿah); the enumeration names Allah as the One who does it.
Take this with you
Rank is His to assign. Do not measure yourself, or anyone else, by present standing.
'When the Occurrence occurs… abasing and exalting' (56:1–3).
Qurʾān 56:1–3; the name itself listed in Sunan al-Tirmidhī 3507 (the enumeration of the ninety-nine names)
Where it appears in the Qur'an
This name is reported in the list of ninety-nine, but the Qur'an says it as a verb or a phrase rather than as this single word, so there is no word-for-word occurrence to list. The reasoning above cites the āyāt it is taken from.
