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?

- 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)
