Al-Wāsi‘ (The All-Encompassing)
When the believers learn about Allah’s name “Al-Wāsi‘”, their hearts getattached to His remembrance and they long to see Him. Indeed, their hearts can only be satisfied by being humbly submissive to Him, performing Tawāf (circumambulation) around His House, standing in prayer to Him, getting out of bed for His sake, and sacrificing everything in His cause.
Allah Almighty says:
{...But My mercy encompasses everything...}
[Surat al-A‘rāf: 156]
He also says:
{...Allah gives kingship to whom He wills, and Allah is All - Encompassing, All - Knowing.}
[Surat al - Baqarah: 247]

Our Lord is the All-Encompassing, the Self-Sufficient. His self-sufficiency and generous giving encompass all His creation.
He is the All-Encompassing in His essence, names, attributes, actions, dominion, and authority. No one can extend adequate praise to Him. He is as He has praised Himself. No matter how His servants try to describe Him, they would never be able to come close to His true nature or encompass Him in their knowledge.
Our Lord encompasses all things in His knowledge:
{...Our Lord has full knowledge of everything...}
[Surat al - A‘rāf: 89]
Nothing whatsoever is hidden from Him, Exalted be He. He hears the creeping of a black ant on a solid rock in a dark night.

{He knows the sneaky glances of the eyes and what the hearts conceal.}
[Surat Ghāfir: 19]

[Surat al-Baqarah: 115]
I testify that there is no god other than Allah.
He is Generous, Merciful, and upon Him we pin our hopes.
When He is asked, He gives abundantly.
And He removes harms and afflictions.
Indeed, He bestows generous favors upon His servants,
making them self-sufficient and satisfied.
No matter how much we praise Him,
He is far Greater and more Majestic.
