Inside the Quran

الْحَقّ (al-haqq) means the truth, the right, the reality. It names what is firmly true and right, and in some contexts refers to Allah (SWT), the Ultimate Truth.

Read it inside the complete ayat below. The surrounding words decide the most natural English rendering, so the translation may use more than one English phrase for the same Arabic form.

See it in real ayat
فَوَقَعَ ٱلْحَقُّ وَبَطَلَ مَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ

So the truth was established, and abolished was what they were doing.

ٱلْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّكَ فَلَا تَكُن مِّنَ ٱلْمُمْتَرِينَ

The truth is from your Lord, so do not be among the doubters.

ٱلْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّكَ ۖ فَلَا تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلْمُمْتَرِينَ

The truth is from your Lord, so never be among the doubters.
