Abdul Samad

Abdul Samad Abdul Samed, etc. It may be roughly translated as "servant of the Self-sufficient Master" or "servant of the Eternal Refuge".

Because the letter s is a sun letter, the letter l of the al- is assimilated to it. Thus although the name is written with letters corresponding to Abd al-Samad, the usual pronunciation corresponds to Abd as-Samad. Alternative transliterations include Abdus Samad and others, all subject to variant spacing and hyphenation.
