Allāh
The One True God
Meaning & Introduction
The Name Allāh means The One True God, The Only Being worthy of worship, love, and absolute devotion.
It is not derived from any root — it is unique, beyond comparison, and includes within it all the other Names and Attributes.
Everything begins and ends with Allāh.
When you say Ar-Raḥmān, it is His mercy. When you say Al-ʿAdl, it is His justice. When you say As-Sabūr, it is His patience. But when you say Allāh, you mean all of them together — the perfect unity of every perfection.
Qur'ānic References [Surah Al-Ikhlāṣ (112:1–4)] (https://www.alislam.org/quran/app/112)
Proclaim: He is Allah, the Single; Allah, the Self-Existing and Besought of all. He begets not, nor is He begotten. And there is none equal to Him in His attributes.
Sayings of the Promised Messiah "'Allāh' is the greatest Name — in it are gathered all His attributes, and through it alone can one truly know the Living God."
