وَجْهٌ

أَسْلَمْتُ وَجْهِى للّٰه I resigned, or resign, myself to God: i. e., I became, or become, * Muslim: وجه is here used for the whole because it is the most noble part: (Jel, ii. 106:) or ذاتى my course. (TA.)

مِنْ كُلِّ وَجْهٍ In every respect; considered from every point of view.

الوَجْهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ كَذَا The [proper or reasonable] way is that it should be thus: or the valid and obvious [way]. (Msb.) See تُرْعَةٌ.

لِوَجْهِ اللّٰهِ (Qur'an, 76:9) For the sake of God; or to obtain the countenance or favour of God. (Kull, p. 378.) See فِى ذَاتِ اللّٰهِ in article ذُو.

لَوْكَانَ كَذَا لَكَانَ وَجْهًا Were it so, it were reasonable.

لَا وَجْهَ لَهُ, said of a phrase, &c., There is no reasonable way of accounting for it.
