any o<strong>the</strong>rs. He is All-Perfect, All-Pure, All Glorious, far removed from everything evil <strong>and</strong><br />

imperfect.<br />

Quddus means pure (tahir, munazzah), pure <strong>and</strong> free <strong>of</strong> any imperfection .He is far removed from<br />

every imperfection or impurity or from anything that would detract from His glory, <strong>and</strong><br />

Perfect.<br />
