al-Mughnī

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

The name Mughnī is not specifically used as a Beautiful Name in the Qur'ān.

Ghanī , from the same gh-n-y root, denotes the One whose essential nature is independence, self-sufficiency and supreme wealth.

Mughnī denotes specific deeds done by the One in bestowing wealth.

(Also written as al mughni, al-mughnee, al mughniy, the Enricher: ya mughni, ya mughnee, ya mughniy)
