| Subject: Examining Chapter 112 Of The Qur'an. Thu Jul 11, 2019 1:04 am | |
| As-Salaam alaikum, The Noble Prophet of Islam, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam, compared reciting chapter 112 of the Holy Qur'an (Surat Ikhlas) to complete recitation of one-third of the entire Qur'an. Reciting this Surat is a means of blessings for the reciter. Note that Allah Ta'ala sent the Qur'an in 3 parts:--
(1) A third 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 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. | |
