Surah Al-Ikhlas, Ayah 1
May 10, 2025
قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ
Say, 'He is Allah, [who is] One.'
کہہ دیجیے کہ وہ اللہ ایک ہے۔
Reflection
This verse succinctly declares the oneness of Allah, which is the foundation of Islamic belief. It refutes polytheism and emphasizes that Allah is unique, without partners or equals. The concept of Divine Unity (Tawhid) expressed here is central to Islamic theology and shapes a Muslim's worldview and actions.
Context
Surah Al-Ikhlas is one of the shortest chapters in the Quran but is considered to equal one-third of the Quran in merit because it encapsulates the essence of Islamic monotheism.
