Ash-Shahid (The Witness)—unified with Ash-Shaahid—affirms that Allah is directly present as Witness over every covenant, testimony, heart, and deed. In the Quran, this Divine Name appears 20 times across 20 verses in 17 surahs, from Quran 3:98 (Surah Ali 'Imran) to Quran 85:9 (Surah Al-Buruj).
Reflection: Remembering Ash-Shahid upholds honesty in testimony, faithfulness to promises, and comfort when truth is misunderstood by people.
