الصَّمَدُ

As-Samad is the One whom all creation turns to for their needs. He is the Eternal Refuge - self-sufficient, needing nothing, while everything needs Him. He is solid, complete, and perfect with no deficiency, and all ultimately depend on Him.

Everyone Turns to Allah

Reference: Surah Al-Isra 17:67

Allah describes human nature: "And when adversity touches you at sea, lost are all those you invoke except for Him. But when He delivers you to the land, you turn away. And ever is man ungrateful." Even the staunchest disbeliever, when facing death at sea with no human help possible, instinctively turns to As-Samad. In that moment, they forget all false deities and cry out to the One True Refuge. This innate recognition of As-Samad is built into every soul - in true crisis, everyone turns to Him.
