Ibrahim being the original name of Abraham, the builder of the Kaaba.
AbdulHaqq meaning servant of the truth. |
Regarding the name Abdul Haqq, which is a beautiful name, I think it's important to clarify that:
Abdul means servant of
Al-Haqq is a name of Allaah
So "the Truth" here is in reference to Allaah.
And here's a little more explanation of the name:
Quote:
Al-Haqq (the Truth): He is true in and of Himself and in His attributes. His existence is undeniable, and His attributes are perfect. His existence is one of His essential qualities (He cannot but exist), and nothing else can exist except through Him. He is the One Who has always been and will always be described with attributes of majesty, beauty and perfection. He has always been and will always be known for His Kindness. His words are truth; the meeting with Him is truth; His Messengers are truth; His Books are truth; His religion is the Truth; the worship of Him Alone, with no partners or associates, is the Truth; everything that has to do with Him is truth. Allaah is the Truth and whatever else they claim to be divine besides Him is false. Allaah is the Most High, the Most Great, as He says (interpretation of the meanings):
“And say: ‘The Truth is from your Lord.’ Then whosoever wills, let him believe, and whosoever wills, let him disbelieve…” [al-Isra’ 18:29].
“… So, after the truth, what else can there be, save error?…” [Yoonus 10:32]
“And say: ‘Truth has come and falsehood has vanished. Surely, falsehood is ever bound to vanish.’” [al-Isra’ 17:81]
