Akaal (or Akal) (Gurmukhi: ਅਕਾਲ) (which means timeless, immortal, non-temporal), is an important term in Sikh tradition and philosophy. It is extensively used in the Dasam Granth hymns by Guru Gobind Singh, who titled one of his poetic compositions Akal Ustat; i.e., In Praise (ਉਸਤਤਿ ustati) of the Timeless One (akaal).

Guru Nanak used the term in the Mool Mantar, the fundamental creedal statement in the Japji, the first composition in the Guru Granth Sahib.

The term occurs more frequently in Gur
