Meaning
Al-Haqq (الْحَقُّ) means The Truth. It is name 51 in the well-known list of the 99 Names of Allah. Al-Ḥaqq is the Truth: His existence is certain, His words are true, and His promise comes true. Everything worshipped besides Him is false.
Al-Haqq comes from the Arabic root ح ق ق (ḥ-q-q), which carries the sense of truth and what is firmly real.
Al-Ḥaqq is in 20:114, 22:6, 22:62 and 24:25.
ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلْحَقُّ وَأَنَّهُۥ يُحْىِ ٱلْمَوْتَىٰ وَأَنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍۢ قَدِيرٌۭ
Zaalika bi annal laaha Huwal haqqu wa annahoo yuhyil mawtaa wa annahoo 'alaakulli shai'in Qadeer
That is because Allah is the Truth and because He gives life to the dead and because He is over all things competent
Quran 22:6. Arabic: Uthmani text (Tanzil). English: Sahih International.
يَوْمَئِذٍۢ يُوَفِّيهِمُ ٱللَّهُ دِينَهُمُ ٱلْحَقَّ وَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلْحَقُّ ٱلْمُبِينُ
Yawma'iziny yuwaf feehimul laahu deenahumul haqqa wa ya'lamoona annal laaha Huwal Haqqul Mubeen
That Day, Allah will pay them in full their deserved recompense, and they will know that it is Allah who is the perfect in justice.
Quran 24:25. Arabic: Uthmani text (Tanzil). English: Sahih International.
Allah says: "And to Allah belong the best names, so invoke Him by them" (7:180). Begin your dua with يَا حَقُّ (Yā Ḥaqq) and ask for what fits its meaning. For example: "Yā Ḥaqq, show me the truth as truth and help me follow it."
In his night prayer the Prophet ﷺ said: "You are the Truth, Your promise is true, meeting You is true, Paradise is true and the Fire is true."
Sahih al-Bukhari 1120
