Talk:Wajid (name)

Meaning[edit]

I quoted the meaning stated at Names of God in the Qur'an:

64 ar:الواجد Al-Wajid The Perceiver, The Finder, The Unfailing

What about the name Wajid by itself? If anyone reading this page knows Arabic or Urdu, does the following site help?

Consider this source for the meaning of "Al-Wajid": Muhaiyaddeen, M. R. Bawa. Asmāʼul-Husnā: The 99 Beautiful Names of Allah (PDF: Google Books). Philadelphia, PA: The Fellowship Press. pp. pg.72.

Thanks. Page 72 in that book confirms the theological interpretation of Al-Wajid cited above, but I'm not sure whether that helps with Wajid as a word on its own. The meaning of such a word when applied to the divine goes beyond its ordinary meaning. - Fayenatic (talk) 21:17, 10 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Consider this source for the meaning of "wajid": Catafago, Joseph. An English and Arabic Dictionary. Part the First. Arabic and English (PDF: Google Books). London: Bernard Quaritch. pp. p.525.

Thanks again! That'll do nicely. I expect I'll use that again, too. - Fayenatic (talk) 07:10, 11 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
