"Faces will be humbled <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> Living, <strong>the</strong> All-Sustaining." (20:108)<br />

The Divine <strong>Names</strong> Related <strong>to</strong> Uniqueness<br />

Al-Wâhid: The One<br />

One, <strong>the</strong> Sole, <strong>the</strong> One who attribute is unity; <strong>the</strong> One in Essence who is without like, <strong>the</strong> One in<br />

attributes besides whom <strong>the</strong>re is no o<strong>the</strong>r, or <strong>the</strong> One who is not susceptible <strong>of</strong> division in<strong>to</strong> parts<br />

nor <strong>of</strong> duplication, <strong>the</strong> One who has ever been alone without companion.<br />

Al-Wahid is one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ninety-Nine <strong>Names</strong>.<br />

"My fellow-prisoners, are many lords better, or <strong>Allah</strong>, <strong>the</strong> only One, <strong>the</strong> Conqueror?"<br />

(12:39)<br />

"<strong>Allah</strong> says, 'Do not take two gods. He is only One God. So dread Me alone.'" (16:51)<br />

"Your God is One." (37:4)<br />

"Say: "I am only a human being like yourselves. It is revealed <strong>to</strong> me that your god is<br />

One God. So let him who hopes <strong>to</strong> meet his Lord act rightly <strong>and</strong> not associate<br />

anyone with <strong>the</strong> worship <strong>of</strong> his Lord." (18:110)<br />

Al-Wahîd: The Unique<br />

"Leave <strong>the</strong> person <strong>to</strong> I created on his own <strong>to</strong> Me alone. " (74:11)<br />

Al-Ahad: Absolute Oneness<br />

The Unique, One with No O<strong>the</strong>r, <strong>the</strong> Sole. He who has ever been one <strong>and</strong> alone; <strong>the</strong> Indivisible, He<br />

who has no second. It is <strong>the</strong> closest <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> Essence.<br />
