Raafiq is an indirect Quranic name for boys that means “helper”, “compassionate”, “kind” and “friend”. It is derived from the R-F-Q root which is used in a number of places in the Quran. Note that the stress is on the first syllable of the name (the Ra part).

And he who obeys Allah and the Messenger -they shall be with those whom Allah has favoured -the Prophets, those steadfast in truthfulness, the martyrs, and the righteous.” How excellent will they be for companions! (Quran 4:69)
