BOOKLET 4 - NAMES AND ATTRIBUTES OF CHRIST IN THE QUR'AN
6) The Utterance Of The Truth (قول الحق)
This unique title of the Son of Mary appears once in the Qur'an (Sura Maryam 19:34). "The Truth" (al-Haqq) in this title designates "Allah himself", for the title "the Truth" (al-Haqq) appears several times in the Qur'an as an attribute and name of Allah. He holds all rights in life and the afterlife and he is the source of the truth of the universe.
Since Christ is the Word of Allah given to us in bodily form, he is equivalent to the Word that emerges from the mouth of the Almighty. If the source of Christ is "the Truth", then he, himself, is "the Truth" too, for only Truth can come out from "the Truth". Whoever looks at Christ can see the walking Word of Allah and his Truth in bodily form.
