Tafsiir of Suurah al-Ikhlaaṣ, presented with context, meanings, commentary, and daily life lessons

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yaum As-sabt, 29th day of Jumaadal Aakhir 1447AH, Saturday, 20th December, 2025. *_Tafsiir of Suurah al-Ikhlaaṣ, presented with context, meanings, commentary, and daily life lessons_*. BismilLah. 


The Quraysh at the time of the Prophet Mohammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam asked him; “Describe to us the lineage of your LORD, ALLAH.” They were used to gods with ancestry, images, and physical forms. This suurah was then revealed to clarify the absolute Oneness of ALLAH Azzawajal and to purify belief from all forms of shirk (associating partners with ALLAH Azzawajal).


Text, Meaning & Commentary

Verse 1:

 قُلْ هُوَ ٱللَّهُ أَحَدٌ

“Say to mankind: HE is ALLAH, the One and Only.” Commentary:

Ahad means absolutely One, unique, incomparable. ALLAH Azzawajal is One in: HIS essence, HIS names and attributes, HIS right to be worshipped. Unlike humans, ALLAH’S oneness is not numerical (not “one of many”), but exclusive and unmatched.


Verse 2

 ٱللَّهُ ٱلصَّمَدُ

“ALLAH, the Eternal Refuge.”

Commentary: As-Ṣamad means: The One everyone depends on, Self-sufficient, Free from all needs. All creation needs ALLAHAzzawajal, but ALLAH needs nothing.


Verse 3

 لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ

“HE neither begets nor is born.”

Commentary: ALLAH Azzawajal has: No children, No parents. No lineage. This refutes false beliefs such as: “ALLAH has a son” “Angels are daughters of ALLAH” etc. 

ALLAH Azzawajal is eternal without beginning or end.


Verse 4

 وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُۥ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ

“And there is nothing comparable to HIM.” Commentary: Nothing resembles ALLAH Azzawajal: Not in power, Not in knowledge, Not in mercy, not in nothing. Human descriptions, images, or comparisons cannot apply to ALLAH Azzawajal. To be continued tomorrow in Shaa ALLAH with some practical Lessons for our daily lives. *_May ALLAH Azzawajal keep guiding and protecting us from any satanic influences_*. Aameen.

NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 29th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Wednesday 8th May 2024). *_NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH_*. BismilLah.  Even though feelings of Panic, stress/worries etc are part of life, they must not reduce our acts of worship or trust in ALLAH. The more a man turns to ALLAH and focuses on HIM, the more he will feel a sense of peace and comfort, to an extent that no one knows except ALLAH. Hence those who know ALLAH, are close to HIM and fear HIM are the happiest of people, to such an extent that one of them said, in a well-known expression: “If the kings and the sons of kings knew what joy we have, they would fight us for it with the sword.” This is also what is expressed in the Qur’an, as ALLAH says: “Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him ALLAH will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and ALLAH will ...

One of the question asked is can a Christian enter Jannah today?

 One of the question asked is can a Christian enter Jannah today? Alhamdulillah, it is clear from Quran and hadiths that any christian who dies believing Jesus is God or son of God and do not believe in prophet Muhammad Peace be Upon Him will enter hellfire. Allah says, Al-Ma'idah 5:17 They have certainly disbelieved who say that Allāh is Christ, the son of Mary. Say, "Then who could prevent Allāh at all if He had intended to destroy Christ, the son of Mary, or his mother or everyone on the earth?" And to Allāh belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them. He creates what He wills, and Allāh is over all things competent. Allah says, Al-Ma'idah 5:72 لَقَدۡ كَفَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ ٱبۡنُ مَرۡيَمَۖ وَقَالَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ يَٰبَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ رَبِّي وَرَبَّكُمۡۖ إِنَّهُۥ مَن يُشۡرِكۡ بِٱللَّهِ فَقَدۡ حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ وَمَأۡوَىٰهُ ٱلنَّارُۖ وَمَا لِلظَّٰلِمِينَ مِنۡ أَنصَ...

PURIFICATION OF THE HEART

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm al-khamis, 20th day of Swafar 1447AH, Thursday, 14th August 2025. *_PURIFICATION OF THE HEART_*. BismilLah.  A sister asked me yesterday how we can purify ourselves to achieve the immense benefits mentioned in our reminder yesterday.  The command to purify our hearts from sins was an essential Islamic teaching ever since the early stages of the revelation in Mecca. This is known as “purification of the soul” (tazkiyyat an-nafs).   ALLAH Azzawajal says: He has succeeded who purifies the soul, and he has failed who corrupts the soul. Surah Ash-Shams 91:9-10. Also, ALLAH Azzawajal says: A day when there will be no benefit in wealth or children, but only in he who comes to ALLAH Azzawajal with a pure heart. Surah Ash-Shu’ara 26:88-89.  We learn from these verses that our success in the Hereafter depends upon the purification of our hearts in this life. We must purify our hearts from spiritual sins such as greed, malice, envy, arrog...
