AL-BASIT

(The Extendernt)

The Englarger, The One who constricts the sustenance by His wisdom and expands and widens it with His Generosity and Mercy.

Allah is Al-Baasit, The One who amplifies all abundance, who makes the way wide open. He gives plentiful to whoever he wills and reaches out a helping hand to all mankind. Allah gives provision and mercy as he wishes.

From the root b-s-t which has the following classical Arabic connotations: to expand, enlarge, extend to grant abundance, to provide amply to spread, widen, to make spacious to extend a hand.

Who is it that would loan Allah a goodly loan so He may multiply it for him many times over? And it is Allah who withholds and grants abundance, and to Him you will be returned. (Quran 2:245)
