Examining Chapter 112 Of The Qur'an.


Abu Hafsat

Recommended Posts

As-Salaam alaikum,

Reciting Surat Ikhlas (chapter 112 of the Holy Qur'an) is compared to complete recitation of one-third of the entire Qur'an. Reciting it is a means of blessings for the reciter. Note that Allah Ta'ala sent the Qur'an in 3 parts, namely:--

(1)  A third of it is comprised of Legal Rulings.

(2)  A third comprises of exhortations of Promises and Warnings.

(3)  A third comprises of Discussing Allah's Names and Attributes... and Surat Ikhlas brings together within it those Noble Names and Attributes.

The Surat mentions 2 Names of Allah which together indicate all the Attributes of Perfection. They are not mentioned in any other ayat/verse: ''al-Ahad'' and ''al-Samad''.  These 2 names indicate the Oneness of the Sacred Being who possesses all the attributes of perfection.

Allah is Ahad-- His Singularity of Existence cannot be shared by another entity.

Allah is Samad-- His Dignity and Sovereignty reaches the extent where all other things in Existence depend on for all their needs...  Allahu Tabaraka Wa Ta'ala...
