The Mysteries and Miracles of Al-Quddus
Among the ninety-nine blessed Names of Allah (Asma-ul-Husna), each Name carries its own unique light, a complete attribute, and a spiritual treasure. Yet among them are certain Names that do not only affect a person’s outer life but deeply shake the inner self — purifying thoughts, existence, emotions, and even the soul itself.
One of these exalted and luminous Names is Al-Quddus.
The blessed Name Al-Quddus introduces us to the reality that Allah Almighty is pure from every defect, every imperfection, every impurity, every darkness, and every form of injustice. He is not only the source of outward purity but also the fountain of inner cleansing, purification of the heart, and spiritual refinement.
When a person understands the essence of this Name and makes it a part of life, their worldly life becomes balanced and their Hereafter becomes illuminated.
Linguistic Meaning of Al-Quddus
The word Quddus is derived from the Arabic root Q-D-S, which means:
- Absolute purity
- Complete cleanliness
- Freedom from all flaws
- Loftiness and exaltation
It signifies a level of purity beyond all comparison.
Technical (Spiritual) Meaning
Al-Quddus is Allah Almighty, Who is free from every physical, mental, spiritual, temporal, and spatial limitation.
No sleep overtakes Him, no fatigue touches Him, no weakness affects Him, and no decline reaches Him.
He is exalted beyond everything the human mind can imagine.

Spiritual Guidance and the Chain of Blessings
In an era where spiritual confusion, inner restlessness, and mental pollution are widespread, correct guidance regarding Asma-ul-Husna has become essential.
