Al-Aleem (الْعَلِيم)
The All-Knowing
Linguistic Origins & Arabic Root
Root: ع - ل - م (A-L-M)
Etymology: Comprehensive comprehension of past, present, future, hidden, and manifest.
Spelling & Pronunciation
Written: العليم — alif · lam · ayn · lam · ya · mim.
The article: Arabic ayn (ع) is a moon letter, so the lam of the definite article ال stays audible. The Name keeps its Al- form, unlike the fourteen sun letters, which absorb the lam.
Also written: Al-Alim, Al Aleem — all romanisations of العليم, which has no single official spelling in the Latin alphabet.
Mention in the Holy Quran
“Indeed, Allah is all-Encompassing and Knowing.”
— Surah Al-Baqarah (2:115)
Spiritual Significance & Contemplation
Al-Aleem knows the falling of every leaf in the forest, the deepest whisper of the heart, and the unseen realms of the future with effortless clarity.
