Al-Haqq

The One whose existence abides unchanging; who in the Hereafter separates truth from falsehood and takes the rights of the rightful from the oppressors and restores them. Allah Almighty says: "Truth has come, and falsehood has departed." (Al-Isra, 81) "They will know that Allah is the perfect in justice [i.e. the manifest Truth]." (An-Nur, 25) "That is because Allah is the Truth." (Al-Hajj, 62) "The truth is from your Lord." (Al-Kahf, 29) The word and its derivatives occur in 285 verses of the Noble Qur'an. In the view of Islam, the source of truth is the divine will. The source of truth is Allah Most High. Truth is that which cannot be denied, which needs no proving, and whose existence is accepted. Accordingly, the existence of Allah Most High is the first of the things that must be accepted. His existence was affirmed even before the command to affirm it reached mankind, and for this reason His existence cannot be denied. The whole world of existence is clear evidence of His existence. Every word and act of Allah Most High is truth. Meeting with Him is truth. Everything that rests upon Him and is attributed to Him is truth and reality. Being the Truth, He is the reality of realities. To know Him is the truest of all knowledge. To affirm Him is the truest of all words.

The noble name Al-Haqq is recited 208 times as "Ya Haqq, jalla jalaluhu" in order to be protected from falsehood, for one's words to prevail, for success in good works, and to be able to judge with justice. Whoever recites the remembrance "La ilaha illa'llahu'l-Haqqu'l-Mubin" a hundred times every day is delivered from poverty and his affairs are made easy. Whoever recites it a thousand times, his character is set right. Whoever writes the noble name Al-Haqq at the four corners of a square sheet of paper, places that paper in his palm and raises his hands to the divine presence in the hour before dawn, Allah Most High removes his grief and sorrow and suffices him in what he desires.
