Al-Haqq: The Truth

"...Allah is the Truth (Al-Haqq)..." (22:6).

The Truth is Allah's quality, the essence of which is valid in itself and the cause for the existence of everything else. Everything except Allah is temporal as its existence is from other than itself. The Truth is existent by itself and not influenced by any other. It is in this sense that it is unchanging. The quality meets the requirements of wisdom, justice, right or rightness, truth, reality, or fact. The word 'haqq', truth or real, is used in reference to other things, but everything else changes in relationship to something else. When that truth disappears, it is no longer valid to refer to it as truth. This is not the case with the Truth. It does not change, has no beginning or end, does not disappear nor reappear.
