Name 27 of 99
الْبَصِير

Al-Baseer (الْبَصِير)

The All-Seeing

Linguistic Origins & Arabic Root

Root: ب - ص - ر (B-S-R)

Etymology: All-penetrating insight, seeing outer forms and innermost intentions.

Spelling & Pronunciation

Written: البصير — alif · lam · ba · sad · ya · ra.

The article: Arabic ba (ب) 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-Basir, Al Baseer — all romanisations of البصير, which has no single official spelling in the Latin alphabet.

Mention in the Holy Quran

“Indeed, He is, of all things, Seeing.”

— Surah Al-Mulk (67:19)

Spiritual Significance & Contemplation

Al-Baseer sees the black ant on a black rock in the darkest night. He observes our internal struggles and recognizes the goodness we strive to cultivate.
