Welcome to the 99 Names of Allah Series

Name Number Ninety Eight: Al -WaarithFrom the root waw-ra-tha (و ر ث) which has the following classical Arabic connotations: to inherit, to be an heir, survivor, to be the owner or sustainer after someone.
What does it mean to receive an inheritance? It's usually the passing down of money, property, or some material thing from one person to another upon their passing. This is typically a transfer from a parent passing down the family tree to preserve whatever wealth they had. Now, with respect to Allah سُبْحَٰنَهُۥ وَتَعَٰلَىٰ what does it mean to say he is al-Warith, The Inheritor? As we discussed in the previous name al-Baqi (The Everlasting) and al-Akhir (The Last), He is the one who will exist after all possessors disappear. He is also the originator (al-Badi) and the creator (al-Khaliq), so naturally, all things belong to Him.
