Speaker A
This is a tale from the Holy Quran. "The sky that we see is the ground floor.
00:06
Speaker A
There are seven more floors above it. And God resides in the penthouse on the seventh floor.
00:10
Speaker A
And he would dare to ask me, would dare to ask what I did in this world.
00:15
Speaker A
But if he exists, I will ask him, 'What have you done?'" This relates to the question that's still asked frequently.
00:21
Speaker A
"I believe that there is no God. No one created this universe, and no one decides our fate.
00:29
Speaker A
If I declare this, an armed mob of 50 people will be here for my head, but no one would dare to say anything to a person like Stephen Hawking." This is about those words that shake the core of the earth, sky, and mountains.
00:44
Speaker A
"This is the question you must answer, 'Who is Jesus?' Jesus was whom he claimed to be.
00:50
Speaker A
God manifested in the flesh." This is about the Holy Quran, the Surah Ikhlas. Qul huwal laahu ahad [Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “He is Allah—One ˹and Indivisible˺;] Allah hus-samad [Allah—the Sustainer ˹needed by all˺.] Perhaps the most popular chapter from the Quran,
01:09
Speaker A
the chapter that's learned the most, is Surah Al-Ikhlas. Allah hus-samad Lam yalid wa lam yoolad Wa lam yakul-lahoo kufuwan ahad But unfortunately, for most of us, "Qul huwal laahu ahad" is a shortcut to end our prayers quickly.
01:26
Speaker A
"Don't rush, I'm coming!" "Mumma, we're getting late." "It'll take only 2 minutes, dear." "I'll recite 'Qul huwal laahu ahad' in Salah." "You can do it on the train." But when we look into the lives of the companions of the Prophet saw,
01:39
Speaker A
we find that they cherished Surah Ikhlas so deeply, that when Bilal Ibn Rabah RA was being dragged on the street, stones were being placed on his chest, he was still reciting, "The One, the only One." "Do you still trust your Prophet?"
01:58
Speaker A
"The One, the only One." "Ahadun Ahad." "Call upon your God." As we know, the names of the Quranic chapters were taken from the words used throughout the chapter.
02:13
Speaker A
Like, Surah Fil, Surah Kafirun, Surah Ma'un; But in this Surah, you won't find the word 'Ikhlas'.
02:22
Speaker A
Despite that, it was named Surah Ikhlas. Because of its merit. Because when a person understands this Surah, he is purified of all types of shirk.
02:35
Speaker A
"Baba, I don't understand why is the name of this chapter different?" "Because it burns away all shirk." That's why it isn't named on the words that are used in it, but it is what it makes the reader.
02:47
Speaker A
Purified." "I understand now." According to the scholars, Surah Ikhlas protects us from eight types of Kufr.
02:56
Speaker A
Qazi Abu Bakr says that Ikhlas is such a pearl, that if in your entire life, if you worshipped Allah swt with Ikhlas even for a moment, that worship would be enough for you till the Day of Judgement.
03:09
Speaker A
"Ikhlas is so precious, that even if you're sincere for even a moment in your life, it will be enough for you." What were the events which unfolded before Surah Ikhlas was revealed?
03:17
Speaker A
Which litmus test does this chapter teach us, that helps us easily determine whether we are associating another with Allah swt even unknowingly.
03:26
Speaker A
"The poor things lack knowledge. If I were to tell you, 'Imam Ahal-e-Sunnat Faazil-e-Barelvi rejected even bowing to graves let alone giving them a sacred status, not only bowing, he forbade anyone from kissing a grave." And the most important,
03:39
Speaker A
this 1,400-years-old Surah, is it still relevant in our lives today? We'll look for the answers to these questions in this video.
03:47
Speaker A
Qul huwal laahu ahad Allah hus-samad Lam yalid wa lam yoolad Wa lam yakul-lahoo kufuwan ahad Scholars believe that Surah Ikhlas was revealed in Mecca when Mecca and the entire world was deep into polytheism.
04:05
Speaker A
Christians began believing that Prophet Christ AS was God's son. In Mecca, idol worshipping was common.
04:12
Speaker A
Across all religions in the world, there was no god whose face wasn't drawn or sculpted by humans.
04:16
Speaker A
Who didn't have a spouse or children. Who didn't have a mother or a mother-in-law.
04:20
Speaker A
"Do you see behind me? This is Uzza's daughter, Manat. Try to appease her, if you succeed, she will put in a good word for you with God.
04:28
Speaker A
Come, bow down to her, and ask for what you want." This was the era when people had forgotten the teachings of Prophet Abraham AS, there were only a handful of people, who were following Prophet Abraham AS's religion, were worshipping the oneness of God,
04:45
Speaker A
and when Allah SWT revealed Surah Kafirun, it brought a wave of change in Mecca.
04:52
Speaker A
"Abu Talib, the non-believers are enraged. Surah al-Kafirun was revealed to the Prophet saw. "O Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon you, declare to the non-believers, that you do not worship the idols they worship." The revelation of Surah Kafirun,
05:10
Speaker A
there was an uproar in Mecca. The Jews and Christians around Mecca, and even people from all over the world, were asking, "Who is Allah?" "Greetings Mohammad.
05:23
Speaker A
You say that you do not worship that which we worship. Neither are you willing to worship what we worship.
05:32
Speaker A
Nor are we going to worship what you worship. So tell us, what or whom do you worship?" It was quite obvious that they'd be asking this question.
05:46
Speaker A
Because, for a long while, they had not believed in the Oneness of God. Their gods had faces, their gods got married, so they went to the Prophet saw with this question, asking him to describe the God whom the Prophet saw worshipped.
06:04
Speaker A
Somewhere in the Arabian desert. "Some robbers are approaching, wait here, let me see." "Do not fear, we are not here to rob you, we want to ask the Allah towards whom Mohammad calls us, what is he made of?
06:26
Speaker A
Is he made of gold or silver? Or of iron?" The largest Jewish settlement in Arabia, Khaybar: "Greetings, you've returned quite early.
06:39
Speaker A
I am eager to know, how things were in Mecca. I hope you asked the questions I told you to ask." "Yes, Sir, we asked Mohammad, Allah made angels out of light, humans out of clay, Iblis out of fire,
06:55
Speaker A
and the sky from smoke, we asked him to tell us, what is his Allah made of.
07:01
Speaker A
We told him that we might start believing what he claims. And he answered that Allah swt made everything, but He isn't made of anything.
07:08
Speaker A
I think he's a true Prophet." "You're wrong. If there has to be a Prophet, he will be from our lineage." Each time when someone asked Allah swt's Prophet saw, Allah swt's Prophet saw, said the same thing he was ordered by Allah swt to say.
07:24
Speaker A
"Tell them that the one you worship is Allah, and He is One. He does not need sustenance, neither has He fathered anyone, nor does He have parents.
07:36
Speaker A
And He has no equals." Many people have this doubt whether Surah Ikhlas was revealed in Madinah.
07:42
Speaker A
But that's untrue. This chapter was revealed in the early days in Mecca, before Bilal Ibn Rabah RA brought Islam.
07:49
Speaker A
That's why when he was whipped, when he was tortured, he kept repeating 'Ahadun Ahad'.
07:56
Speaker A
"He isn't willing to compromise in the status. He spoke these words 'Ahadun Ahad' then.
08:03
Speaker A
This is sufficient proof that this chapter had been revealed before that, and relying on this, Qul huwal laahu ahadun." That's why, the Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah swt be upon him, answered repeated questions on who is Allah, what does He
08:17
Speaker A
look like, where does He live, how many children does He have, the Prophet saw recited this Surah every time he got such questions.
08:25
Speaker A
In Madinah, after the Hijrah, "O Prophet of Allah, we are the (Christian) priests from Nazran, we want to ask you, who is Allah, what does he look like, and is Prophet Christ His son?
08:40
Speaker A
How many children does He have? Does he have daughters too? Answer us, O Prophet." "Tell them that Allah does not need sustenance, neither has He fathered anyone, nor does He have parents." When the companions of the Prophet saw realised the importance of this chapter,
08:59
Speaker A
they cherished this chapter so deeply that they would recite it every chance they got.
09:06
Speaker A
A hadith in Sahih Bukhari mentions, during a journey, a man kept reciting this chapter the entire way.
09:12
Speaker A
When they returned from this journey, the companions told this to the Prophet saw, to which, the Prophet saw asked them to tell this person, that Allah swt loves him.
09:19
Speaker A
Allah swt cherished this person. Apart from thi
09:26
Speaker A
"Allahu Akbar" And he would recite Surah Ikhlas after Surah Fatihah. And another Surah after that.
09:34
Speaker A
This continued for days, weeks, and even months. So the worshippers got concerned about why he was doing so.
09:41
Speaker A
"This isn't the way to lead a prayer." "I tried to explain this to him in a roundabout way." "There he is." "It won't look good if many of us go." "As'Salam walaikum." "Walaikum As'Salam wa Rahamatullahi wa Barakatuhu." "Is everything well?"
09:57
Speaker A
"We wanted to ask you to recited only Ikhlas after Surah Fatihah, or some other Surah.
10:04
Speaker A
We do not think it wise to recite 2 Surahs after Fatihah." "I suggest that you have someone else lead the prayers, I cannot give up reciting Surah Ikhlas." When the Imam didn't agree to the request, these people went to Allah swt's Prophet saw,
10:21
Speaker A
and told him everything. The Prophet saw then asked them to find out why the Imam does so.
10:28
Speaker A
"The Prophet saw wants to know why you do this." "I wanted to keep the reason a secret.
10:35
Speaker A
But since the Prophet saw has ordered this, please, tell the Prophet saw, that I love this Surah." When Allah swt's Messenger, may peace and blessings of Allah swt be upon him, heard this, he told these people to tell this Imam,
10:48
Speaker A
that this Surah ensured his place in Jannah. This was the background story of Surah Ikhlas.
11:06
Speaker A
Before we get into the verses of this chapter, it is crucial that we understand, the importance of this Surah in our lives.
11:15
Speaker A
For that, we need to know this story. In Banaras in the 1930s, when Jaytuna Bi married into the Syed family, her mother-in-law gave her a gold necklace.
11:27
Speaker A
"Daughter, this is a gold necklace. The pride of our family. Keep it safe." "Don't worry, Mother, I will cherish it." "Always be happy, my child, may Allah swt bless you." Years passed, and eventually Jaytuna Bi became a mother and a mother-in-law.
11:44
Speaker A
She passed down the necklace to her daughter-in-law. Telling her the same things she was told by her mother-in-law.
11:50
Speaker A
"Daughter, this is a gold necklace. The pride of our family." "Don't worry, Mother, I will cherish it." "Always be happy, my child, may Allah swt bless you." And more time passed.
12:04
Speaker A
Generations came and went. And a day came, when the Syed family was faced with problems.
12:13
Speaker A
No one knew what to do. Then, their granddaughter, Sadaf said, "Let's sell our family heirloom.
12:19
Speaker A
That necklace will help us through this difficult time." "She's right, this is the only option now." They needed money, things were very difficult, so with a saddened heart, they went to a jeweller.
12:30
Speaker A
The jeweller checked the necklace, smiled and said, "Khan Sahab, you must be joking, this isn't a gold necklace." In disbelief, they went to another jeweller, and they were told the same thing.
12:45
Speaker A
They went to countless jewellers that day. But every jeweller said the same thing. "Sorry, Sir, this is fake." This brings us to an important question.
12:55
Speaker A
How long did the Syed family hold on to that necklace? But they didn't know whether it was real or not.
13:01
Speaker A
So how did the jeweller know that it was fake? Because jewellers have a stone.
13:06
Speaker A
It's known as the Touchstone. When gold is rubbed on the touchstone, the jeweller knows whether it is gold or brass, silver or steel, just like this, Surah Ikhlas, is the touchstone of the Quran, the parameter, the scale, on which you can easily check your belief.
13:26
Speaker A
To check if your belief in Allah swt is pure or not. Because if your belief, your actions, your way, doesn't match these four verses, then perhaps, what you believe to be your faith, is brass, not gold.
13:41
Speaker A
"We believed it to be gold, but it's brass." "If only we had checked earlier." "What will happen now, father?" "What else, dear child, we'll pay for our carelessness." Come, let's try to understand this touchstone of the Quran now.
14:00
Speaker A
In a cinematic way. "Abu Arwa, can you recite the Surah that was revealed to the Prophet saw?" "Of course." Auzubillahi Min As-Shaitan Ir-Rajeem Bismillaah Ir-Rahmaan Ir-Raheem Qul huwal laahu ahad Allah hus-samad Lam yalid wa lam yoolad Wa lam yakul-lahoo kufuwan ahad
14:23
Speaker A
Before beginning this Surah, I want to tell you, if possible, keep making notes with the video.
14:29
Speaker A
This will help you remember this Surah. I'm sure, you might have forgotten the Surahs we discussed earlier.
14:34
Speaker A
If you make notes, it will make it easier for you to revise. As you can see on the chart, scholars use about 20 names to refer to Surah Ikhlas.
14:42
Speaker A
Surah Tawhid, Surah Asas, Surah Aman, Surah Najah, and many more. But the most famous name among them, is Surah Ikhlas.
14:49
Speaker A
So, what is the first Ayat? Qul huwal laahu ahad Say: He is Allah, the One and Only; As we've studied in Surah Kafirun, 'Qul' is a commanding verb.
14:58
Speaker A
It is a command of Allah swt. With this 'Qul' in this verse, it's clear that the Prophet saw isn't saying this on his authority, rather, Allah swt commanded him to say so.
15:12
Speaker A
But when we read the verses in Surah Kafirun, we see that the verse was directed to the disbelievers, but in Surah Ikhlas, the audience wasn't mentioned.
15:21
Speaker A
It isn't mentioned to whom are we supposed to say this. Say: He (the one I worship) is Allah, the One and Only; Scholars believe that when the audience isn't fixed, it means that the message is universal.
15:37
Speaker A
We are supposed to say this to everyone. To this earth and this sky. To ourselves and every person alive.
15:47
Speaker A
That God is indivisible. Here, the word 'huwa' means 'He'. But if Allah swt said 'Qul Allahu ahad' it would have meant the same.
15:59
Speaker A
"Say: Allah is One." Why was this word 'huwa' needed? Generally, when we're talking or narrating a story, we use the noun first, and then the pronoun.
16:08
Speaker A
For example, take, "There lived a lion in a jungle. He was ferocious." Here, the lion was introduced first.
16:18
Speaker A
But had I said, "He was ferocious." The listener would ask immediately, "Who was ferocious?" So here, by using the word 'huwa', Allah swt in His wisdom, presented it in a shocking manner.
16:33
Speaker A
Allah swt said this with a shock factor, Say: He is Allah, the One and Only; And who is He?
16:41
Speaker A
He is the one whom your being obeys. The proof of His existence is within you.
16:45
Speaker A
Because Allah swt created humans with the inherent pull, our bodies, our consciousness, our souls know that that there is Someone, there is a Being, who that is running this body, this universe, and everything else.
17:01
Speaker A
Here, the name of Allah swt is the proper name. Linguistically, you can turn most singular nouns into plural.
17:07
Speaker A
Like, you can just add an 's' at times. God becomes gods. Idol can become idols.
17:13
Speaker A
Lords magicians But you cannot change 'Allah' into 'Allahs' You cannot turn Allah's singularity into plural.
17:20
Speaker A
"We cannot swear by Allah. But our personal relationship with Allah, our very core testifies to his being." Apart from this, if you read historical books, There have been so many kings, emperors, rulers, a pharaoh called himself the god,
17:35
Speaker A
Qarun was proud of his wealth, but no one ever dared, or had the idea, of calling false gods by the name Allah.
17:45
Speaker A
This is Allah's divine plan, Allah's divine name, only Allah, the most respectable, can be called by this name.
17:54
Speaker A
Here, the word 'Ahad' is unique. It means 'One'. But this isn't like the number one.
18:02
Speaker A
Because, in Arabic, the number one is called Wahid. But here, the word 'Ahad' is used, it means there's nothing before it or after it.
18:11
Speaker A
Neither there is nor there will be any other like this. This isn't made out of something else.
18:17
Speaker A
For example, if you have a cake, you will say that you have one, wahid, cake.
18:24
Speaker A
You cannot say that you have the ahad cake. Because your cake is made of numerous other things.
18:31
Speaker A
Also, if you place another cake with your cake, you'll have two cakes. If you cut the cake, you can have several pieces.
18:42
Speaker A
This verse completely rejected the Christian concept of Trinity. Because they believe that there are three elements of god.
18:49
Speaker A
"God as Father. God as son, Jesus. And the third, the Holy Ghost, angel Gabriel or Jibraeel." May Allah have mercy on us all.
18:59
Speaker A
So what is this verse saying? Say: He is Allah, the One and Only; Then, people will think, if Allah swt is all alone, He might be weak.
19:11
Speaker A
Because a man or an animal is weak when alone. Allah swt answered this in the second verse.
19:15
Speaker A
Allah hus-samad Allah swt does not need anything. He isn't dependent on anything. This verse is the introduction of Allah swt.
19:23
Speaker A
Here, Allah swt is telling us who He is. How we should know Him. His identity.
19:29
Speaker A
This word 'Us-samad' appears just this once in the Quran. This is perhaps the heaviest word in this Surah.
19:35
Speaker A
So pay attention to this. Very carefully, okay? When this chapter was revealed, the Prophet saw's companions asked him, what does this word Us-samad mean.
19:45
Speaker A
Allah swt's Messenger saw said that Us-samad is the chief, who looks after the needs of people.
19:51
Speaker A
Us-Samad is the one on whom the universe depends. Everything in the universe depends on His will.
19:57
Speaker A
Animals or humans, we need air, water, food when we're hungry, when we're sad and on the verge of tears, we need comfort, when we're scared alone, we need peace.
20:10
Speaker A
In such situations, where do we take shelter? With the One Allah swt. "Ya Allah, grant us Jannah without reckoning, ya Allah!" This verse rejects all beliefs and theories which say that there is no God.
20:24
Speaker A
And the world is sustained by itself, gravity holds everything together, and that manages everything.
20:31
Speaker A
This verse then says, Allah is Us-Samad, this is why, even gravity is sustained by Allah swt.
20:36
Speaker A
So what do the first 2 verses say? Say: He is Allah, the One and Only; Allah—the Sustainer ˹needed by all˺.
20:46
Speaker A
"Qul huwal laahu ahad Allah hus-samad Say: He is Allah, the One and Only; Allah—the Sustainer ˹needed by all˺.
20:51
Speaker A
Allah is not like any other and Allah swt is with every one. Verse 3: Lam yalid wa lam yoolad He begetteth not, nor is He begotten; Here, the word 'Lam' is used.
21:06
Speaker A
This makes it clear that this verse is talking in past tense. But why in the past tense?
21:11
Speaker A
As we've seen at the beginning of this video, at that point, all the religions in the world, had humanised their gods.
21:20
Speaker A
This verse then rejects this belief, that Allah swt has a child or parents. Say: He is Allah, the One and Only; Allah—the Sustainer ˹needed by all˺.
21:33
Speaker A
He begetteth not, nor is He begotten; But the question is, even if Allah swt had a child what difference would it have made?
21:41
Speaker A
The problem is, had there been children of Allah, Allah swt and his authority would have been divided.
21:46
Speaker A
Allah swt wouldn't have been Ahad. As we know from several Hollywood films, when there are two or more gods, there are often problems, and the lead god has to come to Earth, to manage the minor gods.
22:04
Speaker A
"Father, we'll fight them together!" "Silence!" "Laufey, stop all this." "Your son started this." Allah swt is unforgiving when it comes to this, that in Surah Maryam, He says in verse 90, 'At it the skies are ready to burst, the earth to split asunder,
22:22
Speaker A
and the mountains to fall down in utter ruin,' "They say that God has a son.
22:28
Speaker A
Those who say so do not know what a terrible thing they've said. The skies are ready to burst and the earth to split asunder at this, and the mountains come crushing down." The last verse, verse 4: Wa lam yakul-lahoo kufuwan ahad
22:46
Speaker A
And there is none like unto Him. Here, it is noteworthy that, the first verse ends on the word Ahad, and the last verse ends on the same word.
22:56
Speaker A
Now, let's look at what they are saying collectively. In the first verse Allah swt said that Say to everything in this world that He is Allah, the One and Only; But just because Allah has no partners, it doesn't mean that He is weak.
23:09
Speaker A
Rather, the entire universe depends on Him. Because He is unique, neither does He have any children nor does He have parents.
23:17
Speaker A
He is incomparably unique. You can see a chart on the screen. I made this for you, to help you understand better how many and which sins does this chapter protect us from.
23:33
Speaker A
To Allah swt's Messenger saw, this chapter was so important that he said that when a person recites Surah Ikhlas, he gets the benefits of reading one-third of the Quran.
23:48
Speaker A
This doesn't mean that reciting it thrice will be like reciting the entire Quran. Rather, when you understand what's written in the Quran, you'll see that the scholars have divided the Quran into three categories.
24:01
Speaker A
The first one-third of the Quran talks about what's permissible or impermissible, prayers, fasting, charity, the next one-third of the Quran talks about the Prophets, heaven and hell, life, death, and afterlife.
24:17
Speaker A
And the third part talks about Tawhid. About who is Allah, what are His characteristics, His attributes, In Surah Ikhlas, Allah swt has summarised the entire Tawhid into these four verses, this makes the benefits of reading this chapter, equal to reading one-third of the Quran.
24:38
Speaker A
Say: He is Allah, the One and Only; This was the understanding of the verses of Surah Ikhlas.
24:47
Speaker A
Now, let's understand what role this chapter plays in our lives today, how does it help us, and what should be our attitude towards this chapter.
24:56
Speaker A
Before we proceed, I want to tell you that we have created a community where we are connecting with people with the same ideology.
25:03
Speaker A
This will support us as creators, and help us do this full-time. Because, when you make Islamic videos on social media, you do not get ads.
25:12
Speaker A
Also, we have blocked many categories of ads that can be played with our videos.
25:18
Speaker A
So, we request you to be generous, and to join us. Joining will help you too.
25:24
Speaker A
What goes into making these videos, how we use AI, how we script for this, we will share these with the members.

25:37
Speaker A
Also, there's a link given in the description You can use it to join our community.
25:44
Speaker A
Now, on with the video. First of all, understand that this chapter is Allah swt's identity, His biodata.
25:50
Speaker A
So our attitude towards this should be not to recite this Surah during prayers as a shortcut, to finish praying quickly, instead, we need to understand that we are mentioning our creator's attributes.
26:02
Speaker A
With this love and understanding, let us recite this surah in our prayers from now on.

Speaker A
So that we can enter the heaven just like the companions who loved Allah swt with all their hearts and souls, and loved this Surah.
26:19
Speaker A
Additionally, get into the habit of reciting this chapter whenever you can. To develop this attitude towards Allah swt, to remind us that Allah is One, He has no parents or offsprings, and when we internalise this, it will pass on to our children.
26:36
Speaker A
And eventually, perhaps after a few generations, the understanding of this chapter will be well known to all, it will be embedded into the hearts of people, and people will stop using it as a shortcut.
26:47
Speaker A
Thirdly and more importantly, keep checking your faith. Don't be like Jaytuna Bi, who cherished the brass necklace.
26:55
Speaker A
There are times when we suffer from depression and anxiety. We wake up with a heavy heart.
27:03
Speaker A
We feel like perhaps this is the end for us. We fear the loss of relationships or business deals, if we don't give in to someone's wrongful demands.
27:18
Speaker A
Protect yourself from such anxiety. Remember that you need to give your best. Because Allah is Us-Samad.
27:25
Speaker A
Everything is in His control. You need to try your best and leave everything up to Him.

"Rumi says, 'Show me the people who don't fear snakes. Because snakes are created beings.
27:39
Speaker A
Fear the creator not His creations. Doesn't mean that you go and handle snakes, that's not the point.
27:46
Speaker A
The point is that your fear is misplaced.'" I hope that you liked this video.

Through this video we want to tell you that Quran is very easy to understand.
28:06
Speaker A
You need to read it yourself. Cross-check everything. So that no one can misguide you.
28:11
Speaker A
Take you down the wrong path. All of us wish to enter the heavens. But only talking about it won't make it happen.
28:18
Speaker A
For that, you need to step out of your comfort zone. I sincerely hope that you will heed our advice and read the Quran.
