Praise be to Allaah.
Yes, al-Ahad is one of thenames of Allaah which are mentioned in the
Qur'aan. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
"Say (O Muhammad): He is Allaah, (the) One.
Allaah-us-Samad [Allaah — the Self-Sufficient Master, Whom all
creatures need, (He neither eats nor drinks)]."
[al-Ikhlaas 112:1-2]
Therefore it is permissible to call your son 'Abd al-Ahad or 'Abd al-Samad.
Shaykh 'Abd al-Rahmaan al-Barraak.
The meaning of al-Ahad is the Unique, who is forever One and has
never and will never have another alongside Him. (al-Nihaayah, 1/35).
Allaah is Unique in His Oneness, in being One in His essence and
attributes. Some (scholars) differentiated between al-Waahid
andal-Ahad by saying that al-Waahid refers to His being one in His
essence only, whilst al-Ahad means that He is one in both His essence
and His attributes. (Tafseer Asmaa' Allaah by al-Zajjaaj, p. 58).
And it was said that al-Waahid means He is unique in His essence and
does not have any peer or rival, and al-Ahad is Unique in His
attributes. So al-Waahid is one in and of Himself, and al-Ahad means
being one in His attributes. Al-Ahad is oneof the attributes of Allaah
which belong uniquely to Him, and in which nothing else has ashare.
(Lisaan al-'Arab –Ahad – 1/35; wahida 8/4779 – 4783). Allaah is
al-Waahid al-Ahad, and has no second, no partner, no peer and no
rival. He is al-Waahid upon Whom His slaves depend and Whom they seek.
They do not put their trust in anyone except Him. (Ishtiqaaq Asmaa'
Allaah, 90-93). Heis al-Waahid and there isnone like unto Him.
Everything other than Him that is called one in some aspect will not
be one in many other aspects. (Sha'n al-Du'aa', 82-83)
Ibn Jareer believed that the Oneness of Allaah ruled out there being
anything else that could be like Him. Allaah has no peer and no rival.
He is the One God, the One Lord, and no one other than Him deserves to
be obeyed; no one other than Him should beworshipped. (Tafseer Ibn
Jareer, 3/265-266)
And Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
"And your Ilaah (God) is One Ilaah (God — Allaah)" [al-Baqarah 2:163]
Allaah is One and is Perfect in all ways; He has no partner or
associate. His slaves mustaffirm His Oneness in their hearts and in
their words and deeds, by acknowledging His absolute perfection and
directing all acts of worship solely to Him. (Tayseer al-Kareem
al-Rahmaan, 5/485),
