ٱلْعَدْلُ
Al-'Adl
The Utterly Just
Name 29 of 99

📖 In the Qur'an

6:115 Surah Al-An'aam
وَتَمَّتْ كَلِمَتُ رَبِّكَ صِدْقًا وَعَدْلًا ۚ لَّا مُبَدِّلَ لِكَلِمَٰتِهِۦ ۚ وَهُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ
And the word of your Lord has been fulfilled in truth and in justice. None can alter His words, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing.

The verb form of justice (‘adl) is used of Allah's word and decree here; classical scholars derive the Name Al-'Adl from this and related verses.

💡 Reflection

Al-'Adl's justice is perfect and complete, never tainted by favoritism or the limits that cloud human judgment.
