In the Name of God, The Merciful, The Compassionate.

From the book:  “Meanings of the Names of Our Lord”

Al-Quddus, The Holy

Exalted and Glorious

He is Allah beside whom none has the right to be worshipped but He, the King, the Holy, the One free from all defects, the Giver of security, the Watcher over His creatures, the All-Mighty, the Compeller, the Supreme.  [59-23]

This name is another attribute of Allah which conveys the meaning, the sense of purity, and the freedom from all sorts of drawbacks, faults, flaws, defects, and blemishes.  Allah is the Perfect, Holy, Supreme Being Who will remain forever.  Allah is the Perfect, the Holy because He is above all human weakness.

If one with a pure heart recites Ya Quddus 100 times a day, his heart will become free from all the thoughts and concerns by which we cause ourselves trouble, worry, and pain.

Al-Quddus is the Apparent- free from every defect and shortcoming, and is beyond thought forms or the grasp of the mind.

So exalt Him beyond shortcomings or defects, and make your belief be in Him as he says, “There is noting like unto Him.
