Al-Wasi
The All-Embracing
It is a name that denotes the vastness of His mercy, knowledge, majesty and all His perfect attributes. This noble name occurs 9 times in the Qur’an.

An example of this includes:
(You will face Allah in whichever direction you turn your face: Allah is All-Embracing, AllKnowing.) (Sūrat Al-Baqarah: 115) And (But if the two separate, Allah will make each dispense with the other out of His plenty provision. Indeed, Allah is All-Embracing, All-Wise.) (Sūrat Al-Nisā’: 130)

In light of this great name, I would say:
1. Your knowledge of the vastness of the greatness of Allah and His mercy, power, knowledge, grace, and giving instills a sense of reverence and fear in your heart from Him, as well as love for Him. Think of the words of Allah as He says, (Our Lord, You have embraced all things in mercy and knowledge.) (Sūrat Ghāfir: 7)

2. You can couple Allah’s name ‘the All-Embracing’ with all His other names, for nothing in His creation is hidden from Him as He has all-embracing knowledge; nothing within His dominion can escape His power, for He has all-embracing ability, and the preservation of the heavens and earth does not tire Him; the sins of sinners do
25
not trouble Him, for He has all-embracing mercy and forgiveness; and there is no limit to His giving and rewards, for He has all-embracing generosity. (The example of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is like a seed (of grain) which grows seven spikes; in each spike is a hundred grains. And Allah multiplies (His reward) for whom He wills. And Allah is All-Embracing, All-Knowing.) (Sūrat Al-Baqarah: 261)
