The Quranic Teachings

 
"Ar-Rahman. He it is Who has taught the Qur'an" [55:1-2]. "He bestows beneficence upon those who follow it" [6:155].
 

 Al-Quddoos

 

Al-Quddoos has the following meanings:

  • -The One Who is far from every imperfection, impurity,   fault,  defect, demerit, flaw, error, mistake, shortcoming, deficiency, or from everything derogatory
  • -All-Holy
  • -All-Pure
  • -All-Perfect

From the root Q-D-S, which leads to the following meanings:

  • -To be or go far away
  • -To be far from impurity or imperfection

The root Q-D-S appears 10 times in the Quran in the following verses [2:30, 2:87, 2:253, 5:21, 5:110, 16:102, 20:12, 59:23, 62:1, 79:16]

Allah is Al-Quddoos [59:23, 62:1].

Believing that Allah is Al-Quddoos means considering Him free from every imperfection, impurity,   fault,  defect, demerit, flaw, error, mistake, shortcoming, deficiency, or from everything derogatory.

Not only this but it also implicates (as a necessary outcome) to become ourselves as free from imperfections, impurities, faults etc. as is humanly possible. And also to make or do everything that we make or do as perfect and as free from faults or imperfections as is humanly possible.
