Search grounding on the Arabic root ح-ق-ق reveals its dual meaning of 'Truth' and 'Right/Due'. This linguistic link, confirmed by Al-Tabari, shows that in Islam, rights (Huquq) are not mere legal constructs but are considered established truths. Allah's Truth (Al-Haqq) is the ultimate source of all rights, making justice a theological imperative, not just a social one.

A cross-verse synthesis reveals that Truth is not just a destination but also the vehicle. The Quran states Allah created the heavens and earth 'bil-haqq' (WITH truth) [Q. 15:85] and that the Quran itself IS the truth. Ibn Qayyim explains this means the universe has an inherent moral and physical order, and the Quran is the 'user manual' that corresponds perfectly to this reality. Thus, aligning with the Quran is aligning with cosmic truth.
— Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya, Ibn Kathir
