The Eternal Refuge
١٠ رجب ١٤٤٨
الصَّمَدُ
Aṣ-Ṣamad — The Eternal Refuge
اللَّهُ الصَّمَدُ
Allah, the eternally Besought of all
Surah Al-Ikhlāṣ (112:2)
النية
Today, I will turn to Aṣ-Ṣamad with everything — the good, the broken, the hopeful, the tired — and let Him hold it all.
تأمّل
Aṣ-Ṣamad: the One everyone turns to, who Himself needs nothing. As the book closes, turn to Him one more time. Not with a list of requests — just with yourself. Bring Him your tired heart, your imperfect year, your sincere intention. Aṣ-Ṣamad does not need your perfection. He just needs your turning.
في هذه الآية
Aṣ-Ṣamad — to whom all creation turns. Including you. Including now.
دعاء
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَنِّي أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ الْأَحَدُ الصَّمَدُ الَّذِي لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ
O Allah, I ask You by my testimony that You are Allah, there is no deity except You, the One, the Eternal Refuge, who begets not nor is begotten, and to whom none is comparable.

The Greatest Name — the key to answered du'a. Use it now, for whatever is in your heart.
