Al-Ikhlas 112:1
The Sincerity · Meccan · Juz 30 · Page 604
Oneness
قُلۡ هُوَ ٱللَّهُ أَحَدٌ ١
Say: He is Allah, the One.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
Say: He is Allah, the One.
Insight
Elmalılı draws attention to the command ‘Say’: these words are not a conclusion drawn from human thought, but the truth by which Allah makes Himself known. They should be affirmed with the heart, spoken with the tongue and passed on to others exactly as they are.
Reflect
Today, recite al-Ikhlas three times while reflecting on its meaning.
