Good Job!...waiting for more...just one thing..i thought Samad meant self sufficient...but u wrote it as "eternal refuge"..just wrote coz it was bothering me :)

@farisahmed123 The only place where "as-Samad" appears in the Qur'an is in Surat al-Ikhlas 112:2. The triconsonantal root saad-meem-daal has a general sense of people seeking recourse or protection in someone or something, so, when used as a name of Allah (swt), it suggests that Allah is the One in whom we all seek refuge, while Allah is the One who is self-sufficient and hence does not need to seek refuge in anything that He has created.
