Name 40 of 99
الْحَسِيب

Al-Haseeb (الْحَسِيب)

The Reckoner

Linguistic Origins & Arabic Root

Root: ح - س - ب (H-S-B)

Etymology: Sufficient for every need, exact reckoner of deeds.

Spelling & Pronunciation

Written: الحسيب — alif · lam · ha · sin · ya · ba.

The article: Arabic ha (ح) 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-Hasib, Al Haseeb — all romanisations of الحسيب, which has no single official spelling in the Latin alphabet.

Mention in the Holy Quran

“And sufficient is Allah as an Accountant.”

— Surah An-Nisa (4:6)

Spiritual Significance & Contemplation

Al-Haseeb suffices the heart: *Hasbunallahu wa ni'mal wakeel* (Allah is sufficient for us, and He is the best Disposer of affairs).
