Al-Ḥaqq
The Truth, The Real
Root ح ق ق (ḥ-q-q). According to Lane, the root ḥ-q-q relates to truth and established fact. He gives ḥaqqa as ‘it was, or became, ḥaqq’, that is, established as true, real, binding. The word aḥaqq means more worthy and is found in Qur'an 9:13. The term ḥāqqa refers to the inevitable reality mentioned in Qur'an 69:1. Yuḥiqqu, meaning establishes as true, appears in Qur'an 10:82. ‘That is because Allah is the Truth’ (22:6).
