اللَّهُ الصَّمَدُ
112:2 Al-Samadالصَّمَدُoccurs in the Holy Qur’ân only once and is applied to Allâh alone. Al-Samadالصَّمَدُis something that has no vacuum in it nothing can enter it nor anything can come out of it; Al-Samadالصَّمَدُis hard, clean, transparent and invisible on which no dust can fall; al-Samad is that Supreme Being Who is beyond all philosophical conceptions. Samad is a Being that is Eternal and Everlasting, Al-Samadالصَّمَدُis the Lord and everything depends upon Him while He is Independent (Lane). The word therefore comprises the concepts of the Origin of Cause and Eternity, and Independence combined with the idea that everything existing or conceivable goes back to Him as its source and is dependent on Him for its beginning as well as for its continued existence (Lisân; Tâj; Râghib). Thus, this Being (- Wajûd) always existed and will always exist and His Lordship will never cease.
