Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Is there a difference between al-Wahid and al-Ahad?
Answer:
Al-Wahid is the One, the Unique, the First, who has no counterpart or equal, as in their saying, "So-and-so is the one of his people in honor, or generosity, or bravery, or the like." And al-Ahad is the One who is unique in every perfection, glory, majesty, beauty, praise, wisdom, and mercy, and other attributes of perfection. Does He not have no equal, no counterpart, and no similarity in any way? So it is obligatory for the Muslim to call upon Allah by all of His beautiful names. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you.
