Al-Ahad

The One, The Indivisible

Al-Ahad

The One.

Allah is Al-Ahad, He is incomparable, unequalled, and indivisible. Al-Ahad is the One who was, is, and will ever remain alone. No one can ever be equal to Him in essence of all His beautiful attributes!

Mentions From The Quran & Hadith

From the root a-h-d which has the following classical Arabic connotations: to be one to be the only one, one alone, sole to unite, unify.

Say, “He is Allah, [who is] One (Quran 112:1)

For your god is one God, so to Him submit. And, [O Muhammad], give good tidings to the humble [before their Lord] (Quran 22:34)

One of the worse things is to make associations with Allah. Here’s passage from Quran regarding this:

And they say, “The Most Merciful has taken [for Himself] a son.” You have done an atrocious thing. The heavens almost rupture therefrom and the earth splits open and the mountains collapse in devastation. That they attribute to the Most Merciful a son. There is no one in the heavens and earth but that he comes to the Most Merciful as a servant. He has enumerated them and counted them a [full] counting. And all of them are coming to Him on the Day of Resurrection alone. Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds – the Most Merciful will appoint for them affection. (Quran 19:88-96)
