Explanation of the Name of Allah "al-Warith" (The Inheritor)

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : al-Warith: Did the name al-Warith come in the Qur'an? Just that.

Answer : It came in the plural. It came in the plural and in the verb form:
Indeed, it is We who will inherit the earth and whoever is on itإِنَّا نَحْنُ نَرِثُ الْأَرْضَ وَمَنْ عَلَيْهَا
[Maryam 19:40]
and we were the inheritors. So al-Warith means the One who inherits from those before Him. There is no doubt that Allah is the Last, after whom there is nothing. If He is the Last, after whom there is nothing, then it follows that He is the Inheritor of everything. Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, is the Inheritor of everything; everyone other than Him, for Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, is the Last after them, after whom there is nothing.
