Ibn Kathir said in his tafsir, that surah Ikhlas was revealed when Jews openly said that they worshipped Uzair, who is the son of Allah Almighty, the Christians said that they worship the Messiah who is also the son of Allah and the idolaters said that they worship idols.
Allah, the Eternal Refuge. The self-Sufficient Master, Whom all creatures need. He neither begets nor was He was begotten born. And there is none equal or comparable to Him. Therefore, whoever properly understands this surah and believes in it firmly, they will be safe from polytheism shirk.
Abul Aliyah has related on the authority of Hadrat Ubayy bin Kab that the polytheists said to the Holy Prophet upon whom be peace :. The th chapter of Quran, Surah an Nasr the Help , is a reminder to people to remember their obligation towards the Almighty and a direction as to not forget the agenda of conflict in the eyes of victory.
If men forgot what they had fought for tawheed, and so the reference to Surah al Ikhlas , the celebration of victory would be hollow and meaningless. Thus, we can see how the last portion of the Mushaf is interconnected and inter related in the manner it is arranged. Musnad Ahmed Grade: sahih according to Al- Albani.
Grade: Hasan according to Al- Mundhiri. Sahih Bukhari Grade: sahih according to Al- Bukhari. The very first verse of this chapter makes a profound declaration that He is Allah, the one and only. The context of its revelation gives us a perspective that we need to understand the importance of this statement. However, the difference between the two is of extreme relevance. Through this, we are to understand the attribute of Allah being only one who is deserving of being worshipped and has no partner in divinity.
It stands for a singular, unique entity. Thus making the word name Al-Ahad more exclusive in its meaning than the name Al-Wahid.
Thus, it is proclaimed that Allah is absolutely singular in His essence and unique in His attributes. This verse also negatives any idea of polytheism that creeps into some belief systems. Allah declares that He is the only one worthy of worship.
He is incomparable without any beginning or any end, unlimited by time, space or circumstances. Allah is our Creator and He is a reality before which all others have no existence. The second verse of this chapter is unique in its own manner. Different from this is the statement of those who believe in Trinity; the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. It negates any material and delicate things emerging from Him, or He, the Sacred Essence, emerging from any material and delicate thing.
Nothing appears in Him, such as sleep, imagination, grief, sadness, happiness, laughter, tears, fear and hope, courage and discouragement, hunger and satiety. Allah is more exalted than that something should emit from Him, or that He begets something material or delicate, nor is He begotten from something material or delicate Similar to a living creature coming out from another one, or a plant from the earth, water from a spring, fruits from trees, nor the like, emitting delicate things from their sources, such as vision from the eye, hearing from the ears, smelling from the nose, tasting from the mouth, speech from the tongue, knowledge and understanding from the heart insight and soul , and particles of fire from stone Besides, the second meaning, with the analogy of the first meaning, is quite adaptable and understandable; since, if Allah has no children, it is because He is aloof from the qualities of material.
This meaning is also right for other qualities of matter. Considering this verse, the Holy Essence of Allah is free from all qualities or obstacles that creatures have, and free from all defects and limitations.
He has no peer and no equal. He can destroy things created by Himself in such a way that they will cease to exist and disappear into nothingness This is an interesting commentary because it discusses the narrowest points of Unity. It warns us not to ascribe our qualities and attributes to Allah and thus, not to create our glorified image as a personal diety.
The belief in Allah, as the Creator of the great universe, is the basis of Islam, and the criterion of thought, education, behaviour and action of the Muslim. All the details of the doctrine, nature and life's philosophy, etc. Islamic doctrine is rooted in the pure belief in the Oneness of Allah, the Glorified, and that there is no one but Him, no one like Him, or opposite to Him, etc Allah is, also, above human qualities as these are characteristic of mortals.
Allah is the Absolute, the Independent, and the Sufficient. Believing in the Oneness of Allah, can according to Islamic doctrine, be understood from four distinct points:. It is a fact dictated by sound intellect and scientific reasoning. It is logically accepted that the self of the cause is different from the effect. It is worth mentioning that the human intellect can only perceive that which has an image which Man invokes in his own mind.
Allah, the Glorified, is far from being reducible to this, and that is why the mind cannot fathom His Essence. How can Man perceive the Essence of the Divine self while he is unable to discover the truth about the material of the universe, though he can see and feel it and can describe it and know its effects. He, still, cannot know its essence, even if he can break it down into its component parts.
He alone has the most glorious attributes. He has complete absoluteness in knowledge, power, will, wisdom, independence, etc. He is above all faults, and no one is like Him in His attributes. It is logical that the attributes follow the self, and so the qualities of the sun are different from that of the dust. Likewise, Allah's attributes are different from that of the creatures. That means that Allah is above any fault the polytheists attribute to Him.
The belief in the Oneness of Allah in His attributes cannot be comprehended except after stating the attributes which are truely Allah's. They are called 'the attributes of perfection', like having power, knowledge, will, choice, life, eternity, perpetuity, and wisdom, etc. This entails denying whatever attributes that are not His, like that of imperfection and fault, the need for time land space, doing evil, incarnation, movement, having appendages like hands and legs, etc.
Surah Al - Ikhlas was revealed to Prophet Muhammad may the mercy and blessings of Allah be upon him during the early days of Islam. Its verses proclaim God's radical oneness tawhid , thereby establishing the axis upon which religious thought in Islam turns. Ikhlas means purity of Faith. Here purity of Faithis described by referring to Allah's nature. The Nature of Allah is unlike human beings who have parents or children. One hadith tells us how important surah Ikhlas is in pleasing Allah and seeking forgiveness from him.
It helps you to get love and protection of Allah. Surah Ikhlas also helps eradicate poverty and bring blessings of Allah in your home. Surah Ad Duha Soft part of the day—Morning was revealed to comfort the Prophet PBUH ; who became worried and sad for non-believers started taunting him, due to a short pause in revelation.
This delayed the revelation more than usual which made the Prophet worried. It is a brief five verse invocation, asking God Allah for protection from the evil of Satan.
