Al-Wahid (الْوَاحِد)
The One
Linguistic Origins & Arabic Root
Root: و - ح - د (W-H-D)
Etymology: The Indivisible One, single without second.
Spelling & Pronunciation
Written: الواحد — alif · lam · waw · alif · ha · dal.
The article: Arabic waw (و) 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 Wahid — all romanisations of الواحد, which has no single official spelling in the Latin alphabet.
Mention in the Holy Quran
“And your god is one God. There is no deity [worthy of worship] except Him, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.”
— Surah Al-Baqarah (2:163)
Spiritual Significance & Contemplation
Al-Wahid is uniquely One in His divine essence, actions, and attributes. Polytheism is impossible because cosmic harmony points to a single Will.
