Explanation Of Surah-Al Ikhlaas

In the Name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful 1. Say: He is Allah, the One and only. 2. Allah, the Everlasting Sustainer of all. 3. He has not given birth, nor was He born. 4. There is none comparable to Him.

(1) “Say” with certainty, believing it and understanding its meaning, “”He is Allah, the One and only” Oneness is something unique to Him and He is one in every sense. He is one, singular in His perfection, having the Most Beautiful Names and perfect Lofty Attributes coupled with pure deeds. There is nothing comparable to Him or like Him.

(2) “Allah, the Everlasting Sustainer of all” the one who is sought for the fulfilment of all needs. The inhabitants of the heavens and earth are all in dire need of Him. They ask Him for their needs and they place their hope in Him to fulfil their requests. This is because His qualities and attribut es are perfect: He is the All -Knowing whose knowledge is perfect, the Forbearing whose forbearance is perfect, and the Most -Merciful whose mercy encompasses everything. The same applies to all His Attributes.

(3) Part of His perfection is that “He has not given birth, nor was He born” , because He has absolutely no need of anything.

(4) “And there is none comparable to Him”, not in His Names, or His Attributes or His actions. Blessed and Exalted is He ! This chapter focuses on Tawhid of the Names and Attributes of Allah.
