Soorah Al-Ikhlaas literally means: The Chapter of Purity, Sincerity,
and Unity of Allaah. It is equal to one third of the Quran. In this
chapter, Almighty Allaah Says (what means):
" Say: 'He is Allaah, [who is] One.
Allaah, the Eternal Refuge.
He neither begets nor is born.
Nor is there to Him any equivalent." [Quran: 112:1-4]
1. Whatever the Messenger of Allaah brought with him, that alone is
real. It is obligatory to obey it and forbidden to deviate from it as
it is the Straight Path which has no curves.
2. The Straight Path is only one and whoever deviates from it strays
onto the wrong path, innovation and injustice. Almighty Allaah
commands in the Quran (what means):
"And [moreover] this is My path, which is straight, so follow it; and
do not follow [other] ways, for you will be separated from Hisway…"
[Quran 6:153]
3. The Straight Path is that of the Ummah (Muslim Nation) which lies
in between two extremes. Hence, we supplicate in every Rak'ah (unit of
prayer) with what means: "Guide usto the Straight Path" [Quran 1:6]
that Allaah may guide, support and help us to obey Him and keep us
steadfast on His Path. This is the Path of those who were favoured by
Allaah: the Prophets, the truthful, the martyrs and the righteous, and
these are the finest possible company.
4. The Concept of Tawheed (Unity of Allaah Almighty) has been
explained in Soorah Al-Ikhlaas by separating and purging it from
Shirk(associating others with Almighty Allaah in worship).
5. Imaam Ahmad narrated that Ubayy Ibn Ka'b stated that the
polytheists once asked the Prophet saying: "O Muhammad! Tell us
aboutthe genealogy of your Lord" whereupon Allaah revealed this
chapter.
6. From authentic Prophetic sayings, it is proven that this chapter is
equal to one third of the Quran. The substance of the statement of Ibn
'Abbaas is that the Quran consists of three fundamental objectives:
a) Commands and prohibitions which contain laws and practical ways.
These form the subject matter of the science of Fiqh (jurisprudence)
and Ethics.
b) Tales and narratives which include the stories of the Prophets and
Messengers of Allaah mayAllaah exalt their mention and their
communities, the punishments and disasters which befell those who
resisted and denied the Messengers ofAllaah, and also the promises,
rewards, warnings and types of doom that come from Allaah.
c) Knowledge of Tawheed and the description of those matters which
relate to the Names of Almighty Allaah and His Attributes, which to
have faith in is obligatory upon the servant of Allaah (i.e. each
Muslim). This has precedence over the first two.
Soorah Al-Ikhlaas contains the third objective and a general
description of it. Thus, it is correct to say that it is equal to one
third of the Quran.
7. This chapter contains, comprehensively, the knowledge of Tawheed
and its principles, which form the essence of the belief in Almighty
Allaah. Allaah's command (whichmeans): "Say: 'He is Allaah, [who is]
One" [Quran 112:1] negates partnership withHim in every sense, whether
it concerns His Self, His Attributes or His Actions. It also
demonstrates the distinctiveness of Allaah in His Perfection,
Magnificence and Majesty. The word Al-Ahad (the One) is not used in
affirmation for anyone besides Allaah, since Ahad is more emphatic
than Waahid.
8. Ibn 'Abbaas explained the verse (which means): "Allaah, the Eternal
Refuge" [Quran 112:2]as: "The Chief who is the finest in His Nobility,
the Great One who is the finest in His greatness, the Tolerant One who
is finest in His toleration, the Omnipotent who is the finest in His
omnipotence, the All Knowing who is the finest in His knowledge, and
the Self who is perfect in all types of nobility and greatness - that
Self is only Allaah - the most Revered and themost Powerful, to whom
all creatures turn for all their needs and actions. He alone has these
qualities for they do not apply to anyone but Him. No one is equal to
Him and no one is like Him."
9. Affirmation in His Oneness negates all formsof polytheism and
similitude. Affirmation of all the meanings of As-Samad (the Eternal
Refuge) includes all the noble Names and the most exalted Attributes.
This is the Tawheed of Affirmation.
10. The Tawheed of Purity is in the verse (which means): "He neither
begets nor is born, Nor is there to Him any equivalent."
[Quran:112:3-4] This statement can also be understood from the general
statement: "Say: 'He is Allaah, [who is] One." [Quran 112:1] Nothing
came out of Him nor did He come out of anything. He has no equal, no
likeness and nosimilarity.
11. The concept of Tawheed dominates this chapter. The affirmation of
Oneness for the Lord isin total and absolute contradiction to all
formsof polytheism. His character of being: "Allaah, the Eternal
Refuge" [Quran 112:2] proves all His Attributes: that He cannotsuffer
from any defect, that He has no father or son, which is an implication
of Him being in no need, and that all isin need of Him, as well as
negation of any equal, which includes negation of similarity,
resemblanceand likeness. This chapterincludes all of these matters and
is, therefore,rightly deserving of being called equal to a third of
the Quran. /- -e-p * - ▓███▓ TRANSLATOR 1:->

*- WHAT ISLAM SAYS -*
-
Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-
