The attribute of al-Qayyûm is also nicely described by the words of Acts 17:28 which say: in Him
we live and move and have our being
The name al-Qayyûm also has much the same meaning as the Hebrew phrase in Exodus 3:14 which
is often translated as I am that I am, or I am that which I have become.
As Sri Aurobindo wrote in his commentary of the Isha Upanishad:
God is the only Being and all other existences are only His becomings.
The word mustaqîm, also from this same q-w-m root, means straight, righteous, upright, rising
upwards or ascending.
(Also written as al-qayyum, al-qayyoom, the Self-Existing: ya qayyum, ya qayyoom)
64. Al-Wajîd - The Finder, The All-Perceiving, The Wealthy, The Resourceful
The Finder. He who finds what He wishes when He wishes.The Rich who is never poor. Al-Wajd is
Richness.
YA WAJIDU: O Finder! Those who invoke this Name are favored with richness of heart. Anyone who
continues to say this Name while eating meals, the food thus consumed will become a source of
strength, illumination and noor for his heart Insha-Allah. A person should read this name while he
is eating it will be good for him.
The One who has discovered and obtained everything.
The One who perceives and possesses everything.
The One who has no wants and who lacks nothing.
From the root w-j-d which has the following classical Arabic connotations:
to find, discover, attain what was sought
to become aware of something, to perceive, to experience
to gain or possess wealth, property, resources
to be rich, to have abundance
to be without wants
The name Wâjid is not specifically used as a Beautiful Name in the Qur'ân.
The ancient roots of wâjid point toward an open hand holding of every manner of abundance.
(Also written as al-wajid, al-waajid, the All-Perceiving: ya wajid, ya waajid,)
65. Al-Maajîd- The Noble, The Generous, The Magnificent
