ASMA AL-HUSNA · 45 / 99
Al-Wasi’ — The All-Encompassing: الْوَاسِعُ
Meaning
Amplitude embracing all — mercy, knowledge, provision: 2:268 ("Allah is Encompassing, Knowing") answers miserliness provoked by fear of poverty. Narrow calculations of possibility meet a God whose capacity is not budgeted.
Textual references
- Qur’an 2:268
The 99-names hadith itself (Sahih al-Bukhari 2736; Sahih Muslim 2677) does not enumerate the names; the enumeration order follows the Tirmidhi listing, whose chain scholars grade as weak for the list itself.
Reflection
Scarcity thinking is answered here before economics is.
A personal contemplation aid — not doctrine and not a promised outcome.
