Al-Wasi' (الْوَاسِع)
The All-Encompassing
Linguistic Origins & Arabic Root
Root: و - س - ع (W-S-A)
Etymology: Vastness, boundlessness of mercy, knowledge, and capacity.
Spelling & Pronunciation
Written: الواسع — alif · lam · waw · alif · sin · ayn.
The article: Arabic waw (و) 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-Wasi, Al Wasi' — all romanisations of الواسع, which has no single official spelling in the Latin alphabet.
Mention in the Holy Quran
“...and Allah is all-Encompassing and Knowing.”
— Surah Al-Baqarah (2:268)
Spiritual Significance & Contemplation
Al-Wasi' has no boundaries. His forgiveness encompasses all guilt, His mercy surrounds all creation, and His power has no threshold.
