From the teachings of Hazrat Maulana Shah Abdur Raheem Sahab Dard (Rahmatullah Alaih)
Meaning
As-Samad means the Eternal Refuge, the Self-Sufficient: the One who needs nothing, while everything turns to Him in need.
Understanding the Name
As-Samad is mentioned in Surah Al-Ikhlas: “Say, He is Allah, the One. Allah, the Eternal Refuge” (Al-Ikhlas 112:1–2). The Prophet ﷺ said that Surah Al-Ikhlas is equal to one third of the Qur’an. Everyone, rich or poor, ruler or servant, depends on As-Samad, but He depends on no one.
When the believer turns to As-Samad in his needs, he is freed from humiliating himself before people.
Effects and reflections
Allah is free of every need, while His creation is always in need and seeks His help. Accepting this is Tawheed.
To associate partners with Allah is shirk.
Treatment (Amal)
Whoever recites “Yā Ṣamad” 445 times in sajdah (prostration) at the time of sahar (the last part of the night, before dawn) will, Insha’Allah, become self-sufficient and independent of all of Allah’s creation.
