Al-Quddus (الْقُدُّوس)
The Most Holy
Linguistic Origins & Arabic Root
Root: ق - د - س (Q-D-S)
Etymology: Purity, sanctification, absolute transcendence above all defect.
Spelling & Pronunciation
Written: القدوس — alif · lam · qaf · dal · waw · sin.
The article: Arabic qaf (ق) is a moon letter, so the lam of the definite article ال stays audible. The Name keeps its Al- form, unlike the fourteen sun letters, which absorb the lam.
Also written: Al Quddus — all romanisations of القدوس, which has no single official spelling in the Latin alphabet.
Mention in the Holy Quran
“Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth is exalting Allah, the Sovereign, the Pure, the Exalted in Might, the Wise.”
— Surah Al-Jumu'ah (62:1)
Spiritual Significance & Contemplation
Al-Quddus is pure from any deficiency, error, fatigue, or resemblance to creation. Contemplating this Name inspires believers to purify their intentions, deeds, and hearts.
