The One who answers prayers. The One who responds to needs.

The One who penetrates through every obstacle in order to respond.

The One who responds to an invitation.

The One who responds to requests, prayers and praise by means of gifts and acceptance.

From the root j-w-b which has the following classical Arabic connotations:

to answer, reply, respond, accept
to cut, pierce, penetrate
to have a dialog or conference
to comply with a desire when invited to do so

This name is used in the Qur'ān. For example, see 11:61

Mankind's share of this name, to respond when we are called upon, is described in the Qur'ān (2:186):

When my servants ask thee concerning Me I am indeed close (to them); I listen to the prayer of every suppliant when he calleth on Me; let them also with a will listen to My call and believe in Me; that they may walk in the right way.

(Also written as al-mujib, al-mujeeb, Fulfiller of Prayers: ya mujib, ya mujeeb)
