<strong>Allah</strong> is Existing, firm, realised. He is Being. Ka'in is derived from <strong>the</strong> verb 'kâna ' (<strong>to</strong> be), usually<br />
connected with o<strong>the</strong>r attributes, as:<br />
"<strong>Allah</strong> has knowledge <strong>of</strong> everything. (lit. <strong>Allah</strong> is Knowing <strong>of</strong> everything)" (33:40)<br />
Ath-Thâbit: The One Whose Existence is Firm<br />
<strong>Allah</strong> is <strong>the</strong> One whose existence is confirmed, enduring, lasting, substantial, <strong>and</strong> definite whereas<br />
our existence is ephemeral <strong>and</strong> transi<strong>to</strong>ry.<br />
Al-Haqq: The Truly Real<br />
The Truth, <strong>the</strong> Real, <strong>the</strong> Really-existing, He whose existence <strong>and</strong> divinity are true, <strong>the</strong> One who<br />
creates according <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> requirements <strong>of</strong> wisdom, justice, right, rightness, <strong>the</strong> Necessarily-existing<br />
by His own Essence, He whose existence is undeniable. Every reality exists from His essence <strong>and</strong><br />
nothing has any intrinsic reality except Him.<br />
Al-Haqq is one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ninety-Nine <strong>Names</strong>.<br />
"That is because <strong>Allah</strong> - He is <strong>the</strong> Truth, <strong>and</strong> what you call upon besides Him is<br />
falsehood <strong>Allah</strong> is <strong>the</strong> All-High, <strong>the</strong> Most Great." (31:29)<br />
"On that Day <strong>Allah</strong> will pay <strong>the</strong>m in full what is due <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong>m, <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong>y will know<br />
that <strong>Allah</strong> is <strong>the</strong> Clear Truth." (24:25)<br />
"That is because <strong>Allah</strong> is <strong>the</strong> Real <strong>and</strong> gives life <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> dead <strong>and</strong> has power over all<br />
things <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> Hour is coming without any doubt <strong>and</strong> <strong>Allah</strong> will raise up all those in<br />
<strong>the</strong> graves." (22:6)<br />
