The term Bâqî is not specifically used as a Beautiful Name in the Qur'ân.
The term Abqâ, also from the b-q-y root, is used in the Qur'ân (20:73) where it is commonly
translated as the Most Lasting, Ever Lasting or Most Abiding.
The term baqiyyah is used in the Qur'ân (11:116) to describe persons of excellence, those who
possess spiritual understanding and inner discrimination, those who possess a quality of attending
to that which is eternal.
The related term baqâ', which is from the same b-q-y root, is often translated as eternal life. In
the state of baqâ' bi-llâh there is a return from the ephemeral to the eternal, a shift from the
egocentric to the Divine, where all that remains is the eternal Thou. The return to the Everlasting,
the return from one's worldly preoccupation with the ephemeral, the shift away from one's own ego
being treated as the center of life, is often called fanâ' which literally means to fade away,
dwindle, recede or come to an end.
yâ bâqî anta al-bâqî is a powerful wazîfa which can be translated as o' Everlasting One, Thou art
The Everlasting One.
(Also written as al-baqi, al-baaqee, al-baaqee, the Ever-Lasting: ya baqi, ya baaqee, ya baaqee)

The One who has everlasting ownership of all that has ever been and that will ever be.
The One to whom all possessions return when the possessor is gone. The One who inherits all that
we have done.
