Al-Haqq — The Absolute Truth
Al-Haqq is the Truth itself — the One whose existence is real in a way nothing else's is, since everything else exists only because He sustains it. The name says both that Allah is true and that He is the reality against which all claims are measured. The Quran contrasts Him with what people invoke besides Him, calling that falsehood and Him the Truth (22:62). Classical scholars note that a person's grip on reality is measured by how firmly he holds to this name.

That is because Allah, He is the Truth and because He quickeneth the dead, and because He is Able to do all things
