Al-Haqq
"The Truth"
Meaning in English
The Truth
Meaning in Urdu
سچا
Explanation
Al-Haqq is the Absolute Truth, the Real, the One whose existence is undeniable and necessary. Everything in this world is temporary and subject to illusion, but Allah is the permanent reality. His promise is truth, His meeting is truth, and His word is truth. To align oneself with Al-Haqq is to align with reality itself; to oppose Him is to live in falsehood (Batil).
Virtues & Benefits
The Prophet ﷺ used to say in his Tahajjud du'a: "Antal-Haqq, wa wa'dukal-haqq, wa qawlukal-haqq..." (You are the Truth, Your promise is true, Your word is true). Reciting "Ya Haqq" helps clear away confusion and anchors the heart in absolute reality.
