What Is True

الْحَقُّ

Al-Ḥaqq — The Truth

فَذَلِكُمُ اللَّهُ رَبُّكُمُ الْحَقُّ ۖ

Such then is Allah, your rightful Lord. After the Truth what is there saving error? How then are ye turned away

Surah Yūnus (10:32)

النية

Today, I will be honest in one conversation where it would be easier to be vague.

تأمّل

Al-Ḥaqq is The Truth — the only reality that is not contingent on anything else. Everything else is real only because He made it real. When the noise of the world makes it hard to know what is true, return to this: He is The Truth. Start there, and everything else arranges itself.

في هذه الآية

Your Lord, the Truth. Not a truth, not one truth among many. The Truth. The definite article matters.

دعاء

Seeing truth is not the same as following it. This du’a asks for both: clarity and courage.

حديث

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “Truthfulness leads to righteousness, and righteousness leads to Paradise.”
