AL-WAASI'

(The All-Pervading One)

The Vast, The All-Embracing, The Knowledgeable.

Allah is Al-Wasi who's knowledge, mercy, and provision are vast. He is of limitless capacity and abundance who gives without expecting anything in return. Allah embraces all things and His wisdom and mercy are boundless.  

From the root w-s-' which has the following classical Arabic connotations: to be sufficient in capacity or size, wide, spacious to be ample, plentiful, bountiful, rich to comprehend, embrace, include, take in, pervade.

And do not trust except those who follow your religion." Say, "Indeed, the [true] guidance is the guidance of Allah. [Do you fear] lest someone be given [knowledge] like you were given or that they would [thereby] argue with you before your Lord?" Say, "Indeed, [all] bounty is in the hand of Allah – He grants it to whom He wills. And Allah is all-Encompassing and Wise." (Quran 3:73)
