Introduction and only! Allah, the Everlasting Sustainer of all; He fathered none, nor was He born. And no one is comparable to Him."3 Bukhari recorded, on the authority of Amrah bint 'Abdu'l-Rahman - a woman who used to stay in the apartment of 'A'ishah, the wife of the Prophet(), that 'A'ishah said, "The Prophet sent a man as the commander of a war expedition who would lead his companions in prayer. He would complete his recitation by reciting, 'Say: He is Allah, the One and only.' When they returned they mentioned this to the Prophet () who said, "Ask him why he did that." They asked him and he replied, 'It contains the descrip- tion of the All-Merciful and I love to recite it.' So the Prophet said, "Inform him that Allah, Most High, loves him also."4 Bukhari recorded, on the authority of Abu Sa'id, that a man heard someone reciting "Say: He is Allah, the One and only," repeating it over and over again. When morning came, the man went to the Prophet) and mentioned this to him, speaking as though he thought the act insignificant. The Prophet said, "By Him in whose hand is my soul, it is equivalent to a third of the Qur'an."5 Malik records that Abū Hurayrah said, I went with the Prophet (A) and he heard a person reciting, "Say: He is Allah, the One and only," ," and said, "It is obligatory."

The Light of The Quran The Prophet passed by a person reciting Surah al-Kafirun and remarked, "He has been saved from shirk." He passed by another person reciting Surah al-Ikhlaṣ and remarked, "Paradise has become obligatory for him." These two chapters have both been given the title al-Ikhlas, or Purity of Faith, because they deal with the topic of Tawhid in all its various aspects. al-Ikhlas concentrates on the pure, essential faith in Allah that all mankind is required to have. al-Kafirun deals with purity of deed and disavowal of disbelief and paganism. Both chapters lay out the parameters of man's relationship with his Lord and Creator as well as his relationship with those around him. Pure, unblemished monotheism combined with sincerity in belief and deed defines the relationship with Allah. He is the One and only God, unique, without peer, equal or opposite, and nothing is like Him. He is the One who stands in need of nothing whereas everything is in dire need of Him. Maintaining the essential Muslim identity and character defines the relationship between the Muslim and his fellow man. The Muslim is unambiguous about his religion, truthful and upright in speech, deed and his dealings with those around him. He is proud of his faith and has unshakable conviction in it; he loves his Lord, his Messenger and the Muslims and is loyal to them. Because of this, the dearest thing to him is his religion and he will not compromise it: pleasing Allah comes before pleasing people. The Prophet would frequently recite these two chapters in prayer because of the commonality of their theme and to stress that success is achieved, in this life and the next, by internalising their message and living by it. دار السنة Visit us www.darassunnah.com ISBN-13: 978-19043363-1-0 ISBN-10: 1-904336-31-0 Där as-Sunnah Publishers P.O.
