Wakil (Arabic: وكيل, wakīl) is the Arabic word for an advocate, agent, and a trustee.
Al-Wakil is usually considered the 52nd or the 53rd name of God and it is mentioned in Qur'an multiple times (for example 3:173).
In Islam, God is considered the supreme trustee, who can be relied upon to manage all of the affairs perfectly.
[1][2] The root w-k-l bares meanings of entrusting, assigning, and empowering; some of the other words that are made from this root are توكل (tawakkala, tawakkul) and وكالة (wikāla).
