Meaning & Explanation
Al-Haqq is the One who is the absolute Truth and Reality. His existence is the truest existence, His words are the truest words, and His religion is the truest path. Everything besides Him is relative, but He is the unchanging, eternal Truth.

Exemplifying Story
quranThe Truth Prevails Over Magic
Reference: Surah Ta-Ha 20:65-70
Pharaoh gathered the best magicians of Egypt to confront Musa. They threw their ropes and staffs, which appeared to be snakes through their magic. Then Musa threw his staff, which became a real serpent by Allah's permission and swallowed all their illusions. Allah declared: "So the truth was established, and abolished was what they were doing." The magicians, recognizing Al-Haqq's truth, fell in prostration saying: "We have believed in the Lord of Harun and Musa." Falsehood, no matter how elaborate, cannot stand against Al-Haqq.
Al-Haqq's truth will always prevail over falsehood. What is built on lies will eventually crumble, but the truth remains forever.
