The Enricher, The Bestower of Wealth, The Fulfiller of Needs
The One who gives wealth abundantly. The One who provides all that is needed. The One whose wealth fulfills all needs.
The One who enriches all of creation. The One who creates all appearances of independence or self-sufficiency.
The One who bestows satisfaction and contentment. The One who bestows spiritual wealth.
From the root gh-n-y which has the following classical Arabic connotations:
to be free from wants or needs
to be self-sufficient
to be able to do without help from others
to be content, satisfied
to be rich, wealthy
This name is very similar to Ar-Razzaq, the provider but is direct in Allah being the enricher or All things. Allah provides everything and every time these provision are enriched, this by Allah, Al-Mugni.
Allah is Al-Mugni, the one who gives wealth, who provides all that is needed, whose wealth fulfills all needs, who enriches all of creation, who creates all appearances of independence or self-sufficiency, who bestows satisfaction and contentment and who bestows spiritual wealth. Allah is the only one who provides any and everything we get on this earth, if you are rich in monetary means, Allah has provided this for you. If you are rich spiritually, Allah has uplifted this for you. In whatever you have gained, Allah has given it to you.
This is something that we as Muslim must not lose sight of, in Shaa Allah. When we have a slight increase in our monies, or get into professional school, or have any increase in our life as a whole, we sometimes begin to think like the man in Surah Al-Kahf. We start to think that our success and gains are from us alone, that we have done it ourselves. But this is not the case, Allah has placed you where you are at today and has given you everything you have. It is easy to say that Allah has provided us with food, water and shelter but when it comes to gaining in success, our tongues hesitate a bit.
I went through four gruelling years in college and now I am entering Medical School because of my hard work and dedication I have gotten there. But who is the one that provided you with the ability to get where you are at today? Who is the one that provided you with the opportunity to go to college?
I came to this country poor and now I am a successful businessman due to my hard work and perseverance. But who is the one that made this transition easy for you was it you yourself or the one that created you?
Allah is the one and only enricher and only if we can keep this in our mind can our hearts be softened with gratitude.
“Indeed, your Lord extends provision for whom He wills and restricts [it]. Indeed He is ever, concerning His servants, Acquainted and Seeing” 17:30
Wallahu ta’alaa ‘alem.
And Allah knows Best.
