Al-Hasib

الْحَسِيب

The Reckoner, The Sufficient

What it means

Al-Ḥasīb has two meanings: the Reckoner who accounts for every deed, and the Sufficient who suffices for those who trust Him. Both meet on the day the servant realises: He was always enough.

Qur'anic evidence

This name appears explicitly in the following ayahs:

Q 4:6Q 4:86Q 33:39

Sources for this entry

The Arabic name and its enumeration follow the traditional list in Sunan al-Tirmidhī (§3507). The concise explanation reflects the consensus classical understanding taught in Al-Ghazālī's Al-Maqṣad al-Asnā and Ibn Kathīr's tafsīr. Qur'anic references are locations where the name appears in the Mushaf.
