The Spiritual Journey Through Tawhid: Unveiling the Divine Order of the Waw Names of Allah
Unlock the deeper meaning of Tawhid as we explore the ordered Waw names of Allah and their spiritual significance through Abjad values.
If you thought we’d already uncovered the essence of Tawhid, it’s time to go even deeper. This journey isn’t just intellectual; it’s about feeling shifts and spiritual growth. It’s about stripping away layers and allowing the divine to guide us.
We’ve already seen how the names of Allah are not just theoretical—they are tools for transformation. But now, let’s take it a step further. What happens when we order the names of Allah that begin with ‘Waw’? What new insights do we gain when we arrange these names according to their Abjad values?
In this context, we are using the Abjad system, which is a numerical assignment for Arabic letters. The letter Alif (ا) and Lam (ل), when they appear together in the definite article "Al" (ال), carry the Abjad value of 31. This foundational value of 31 is important for understanding the divine order and reveals a deeper connection between the names.
By following this divine order, we open a deeper understanding of Tawhid and the spiritual journey that Allah invites us to undertake. Here’s how we can understand each name in its rightful place:
1. Wahhab (The Bestower)
Abjad Value: 31
The journey begins with Wahhab, The Bestower, a name that reminds us of Allah’s infinite generosity. Before embarking on any spiritual path, we must first receive. Just as we need the bestower's generosity to walk the path, this name encourages us to open ourselves to Allah’s blessings. Wahhab teaches us that everything in our life, both material and spiritual, is a gift from Allah.
2. Wajid (The Perceiver)
Abjad Value: 45
Next, we encounter Wajid, The Perceiver. After receiving Allah’s gifts, we now need to perceive His presence in every aspect of our life. Wajid allows us to see and feel Allah’s presence. It is the awareness of Allah’s reality within our hearts, our minds, and our environment. Before we can proceed, we must first learn to perceive the Creator’s presence in every moment.
3. Wahid (The One)
Abjad Value: 45
Now, we move to Wahid, The One. This is the core of Tawhid—the acknowledgment of Allah’s Oneness. Wahid teaches us that despite the multiplicity in creation, Allah is the only One. Everything else is part of His creation, and it is through understanding Wahid that we strip away all distractions and false attachments, embracing the oneness of Allah in all things.
4. Wadud (The Loving)
Abjad Value: 50
Once we have recognized Wahid, we encounter Wadud, The Loving. This name is a reminder of Allah’s deep love for His creation. Allah’s love is not distant or abstract; it is intimate and ever-present. As we move through our journey of Tawhid, we realize that this love is what fuels our connection to Allah. Wadud encourages us to embrace the love that Allah offers, and to reflect it in our own relationships.
5. Waliyy (The Protecting Associate)
Abjad Value: 51
After feeling Allah’s love through Wadud, we are reminded of Waliyy, The Protecting Associate. This name signifies Allah’s protection and guidance. As we progress on our journey, Waliyy ensures that we are not left to wander alone. We are protected by Allah, guided by His wisdom and mercy, and never abandoned on the path of Tawhid. This name offers the strength and courage to move forward with faith.
6. Waali (The Governor)
Abjad Value: 77
Next, we encounter Waali, The Governor. As we walk the path of Tawhid, we realize that Allah is not just our protector—He is our Governor, the one who governs the affairs of the entire universe. Waali teaches us that Allah’s authority is absolute. He governs everything, and we must learn to trust in His divine wisdom and surrender to His will. This name calls us to accept Allah’s rule over all aspects of our lives.
7. Wakil (The Trustee)
Abjad Value: 78
Once we’ve embraced Allah’s governance, we move to Wakil, The Trustee. This name teaches us to trust Allah with our affairs, for He is the ultimate Trustee. As we continue our spiritual journey, we are called to put our full trust in Allah, knowing that He will take care of our needs and guide us in the best possible way.
8. Wasi (The All-Encompassing)
Abjad Value: 97
Wasi, The All-Encompassing, represents the boundless mercy of Allah. As we travel this path, we are reminded that Allah’s mercy is vast—it covers everything. No matter where we are in our journey, Wasi assures us that we are always within the scope of Allah’s mercy. This name encourages us to reflect His mercy in our own lives, being compassionate and understanding toward others.
9. Warith (The Inheritor)
Abjad Value: 168
Finally, we reach Warith, The Inheritor. This name signifies that Allah is the ultimate inheritor of everything in creation. All that we experience—our time, our possessions, our lives—ultimately belongs to Allah. Warith reminds us of the impermanence of life and teaches us to prioritize the eternal over the temporary. Our journey concludes by acknowledging that Allah is the rightful Inheritor of everything, and it is to Him that we ultimately return.
The Divine Order of the Waw Names: A Spiritual Map
When we order these Waw names by their Abjad values, starting with Wahhab (31), we uncover a beautiful spiritual map that takes us from receiving Allah’s gifts, to perceiving His presence, to finally recognizing His Oneness and submitting to His will. Each name builds upon the next, offering us deeper and deeper insights into Allah’s nature and our relationship with Him.
The names form a complete cycle, guiding us on a journey toward Tawhid—the Oneness of Allah.
As you reflect on these names, ask yourself:
How can I embrace each of these divine qualities in my life?
How can I align myself more closely with the attributes of Allah and walk the path of Tawhid with a deeper understanding?
