SUFFICIENTALLAH
Message of Oneness
Our site is devoted to disseminating Qurʾānic verses extolling the Almighty Allāh, who merits submission, supplication, affection, and acclaim alone. It is improper to attribute divinity to any other, as all are His creations and reliant upon His compassion. Imbue your heart and senses with His presence. Allāh is indeed sufficient for every individual and all things.
He is the First (nothing is before Him) and the Last (nothing is after Him), the Most High (nothing is above Him), and Most Near (nothing is nearer than Him). And He is the All-Knower of everything.
Quran S:57 V:3
The Names and Attributes of Allāh
Allāh has revealed many of His names and attributes in the Qurʾān and through the Ḥadīth of the Prophet Muḥammad. Among the most well-known are the 99 Names of Allāh, which are not exhaustive but comprehensively represent His divine attributes. Some examples include:
Risala-al-Tawhid / Shahahdat
Since the beginning of time, Allāh has sent revelations to chosen individuals. These revelations primarily address two aspects of personal life that impact human beings: their relationships with the Creator and the society in which they reside. For instance, the Ten Commandments commence with the commandments of faith:
Humanness of Prophets and Messengers
The terms Nabi (نبي ,Prophet) and Rasūl (رسول ,Messenger) refer to individuals chosen by Allāh to convey His divine message to humanity. While both terms are often used interchangeably, they possess distinct linguistic meanings in Arabic. The word Nabi is derived from the Arabic root "أ-ب-ن) "n-b-a), which primarily means "to bring news" or "to inform." A Nabi (Prophet) is an individual who receives divine revelations from Allāh and is commanded to inform his people of these revelations.
The unforgivable sin - Shirk
‘Shirk’ signifies ascribing partners to Allāh, an act deemed the cardinal sin. Pre-Islamic Arabian society was characterised by polytheism, where worshipping multiple celestial and terrestrial deities was prevalent. This practice, described as Jahiliya or ‘Age of Ignorance’, was marked by the pervasive instance of Shirk. This act contravenes the fundamental principle of Tawḥīd:
No need for any other Auliya
The term ʾawliyāʾ (plural of walī) evokes an array of nuanced interpretations, reflecting diverse social, theological and mystic elements; derived from the Arabic root w-l-y, denoting closeness or friendship, ʾawliyāʾ broadly refers to the ‘friends of Allāh’, individuals who have attained a special status due to their perceived proximity to the divine. Yet, the definition is deceptively simple for a richly nuanced term. Rooted in the Arabic language, ‘walī’ embodies a myriad of meanings, including ‘custodian’, ‘protector’, ‘helper’, and ‘friend’. However, the term frequently denotes an Islamic saint, otherwise referred to by the more literal ‘friend of God’. The Qurʾān offers profound insights into the concept of ʾawliyāʾ, providing the foundational framework for understanding this term. Several verses explicitly use the term ʾAwliyāʾ, elaborating on its various connotations and shaping how the concept has been interpreted over the centuries.
The transitory World - Duniya
Linguistically, al-Dunyā carries the meaning of "lower," "nearest," or "nearer." In the context of the Qurʾān, al-Dunyā is utilised 115 times, primarily denoting the temporal and spatial existence of human beings in this world (Wehr, 1961). The concept of al-Dunyā is introduced in the Qurʾān with Q. 2:201, which says,
The ultimate truth - Quran
The Qurʾān serves as the ultimate testament of God's will, communicated through revelations
to the Prophet Muḥammad by the angel Jibrīl over approximately 23 years in the 7th century
CE (Neuwirth 2013, 45). This text is often called the Qurʾān, but it is not its actual name.
Qurʾān is a verbal noun (maṣdar) of the Arabic verb qaraʼa (قرأ), meaning 'he read' or 'he
recited'. This is parallel to the original name of the Hebrew Bible, ‘Mīqrāʾ’ א ָר ְק ִמ, meaning
recital, which Jewish biblical scholars use. At the same time, the secular term for the Hebrew
