Abdul Samad
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.
