This study aims to uncover the meaning and wisdom behind the rafa' alif sign as reflected in the structure of the Arabic language and its application in life, especially as an inspiration to achieve true success. Using the descriptive content analysis method combined with Focus Group Discussion (FGD), this study analyzes the use of the letter "أن" and its role in forming the mashdar mu'awwal in Surah Al-A'raf.
