Aṣ-Ṣamad - The Eternally Besought In Every Exigency

Aṣ-Ṣamad is the one to whom one turns in respect of (one’s) needs and the one to whom one goes in respect of (one’s) desires, since the ultimate degree of sovereignty is his. The one whom God has made the object of men’s (quest) in respect of their requirements for both this life and the next, the one by whose tongue and hand God has ensured the needs of His people, he is the one upon whom God has bestowed a portion of the meaning of this characterization. But the absolute Aṣ-Ṣamad is the One to whom one turns for every need, and this is (only) God Most High.
