الشرح والدلالة · Explanation

الواحد هو الواحد في ذاته وصفاته وأفعاله، لا شريك له.

Al-Waahid means 'The One' or 'The Unique'. It signifies that Allah is absolutely one in His essence, attributes, and actions. There is no partner, equal, or comparison to Him. He is singular in His divinity, and no one shares His sovereignty. His oneness is unique and unparalleled. Quran References: 'And your god is one God. There is no deity except Him, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful' (2:163). 'Say, He is Allah, the One (Al-Waahid)' (112:1). Spiritual Significance: Al-Waahid is the foundation of Islamic belief—the absolute oneness of Allah. It calls us to direct our worship and devotion to Him alone. Benefit: Reciting Al-Waahid strengthens tawheed (monotheism), purifies faith from shirk, and brings unity of purpose in worship. It is beneficial for those seeking to deepen their understanding of Allah's oneness.
