                What is the meaning of Allaah’s name al-Sayyid (the Master)?
Praise be to Allah.Allaah 
          is al-Sayyid (the Master), i.e., the Sovereign of the universe; all 
          of creation is enslaved to Him. 
 Allaah 
          is the One Who is needed in an absolute sense. No created being is independent 
          of Him. If He did not create them, they would not exist, and if He did 
          not sustain them after creating them, they would not remain. If He did 
          not help them with all that they are faced with, they would have no 
          help besides Him. So it is His right that His created beings should 
          call Him, and none other, al-Sayyid.
