Al-Wajid (الواجد): Meaning of Allah’s Name
Al-Wajid: The Rich One Who Lacks Nothing
Explanation of the name Al-Wajid
Al-Wajid is the Rich One Who lacks nothing and never falls into need; in the language, wajd and jida mean wealth, and a wealthy man is called wajid. The name may also come from finding (wujud): He is the One Whom no pursuit wearies and from Whom no fugitive can escape. All creatures turn about within His grasp and act according to His will.
Original Arabic text
الواجد: هو الغني الذي لا يفتقر، والوجد والجدة: الغنى، يقال: رجل واجد؛ أي: غني ومنه:
قول النبي - صلى الله عليه وسلم -: "لي الواجد ظلم" يريد: مطل الغني ظلم. ويكون الواجد أيضا من الوجود، وهو الذي لا يؤوده طلب ولا يحول بينه وبين المطلوب هرب. فالخلق كلهم في قبضته يتقلبون وعلى مشيئته يتصرفون.
