Abu Hafsat 8 Posted June 13, 2019 (edited) 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:-- (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 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 for all their needs.. Allahu Tabaraka Wa Ta'ala....
