Al-Waahid and Al-Ahad


الوَاحِدُ
Al-Waahid
الأَحَدُ
Al-Ahad (The One)
He is the one who is singled out in all aspects of perfection such that nothing else shares with Him in thhese. It is obligatory upon the servants to single Him out alone in belief, saying and action by acknowledging His unrestricted perfection, His uniqueness and singling Him out alone for all types of worship.

‘O two companions of the prison! Are many different lords better or Allaah, Al-Waahid, the Irresistible?’
[Yusuf (12): 39]

Say: He is Allaah, Al-Ahad.
[Al-Ikhlaas (114):1]
