Why Allah uses this name
The Qurʾān states the act of Allah directly — 'Allah will raise those who believed among you, and those given knowledge, by degrees' — and the enumeration lists the name.
Take this with you
Seek raising through faith and knowledge, which is the way He said He raises people.
'Allah will raise (yarfaʿ) those who have believed among you and those given knowledge, by degrees' (58:11).
Qurʾān 58:11; 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.
