Lesson 14

Completing the Explanation of Surah Al-Ikhlas

Peace be upon you, dear brothers. I hope you are doing well.

Today, Allah willing, we will continue explaining Surah Al-Ikhlas.

Let us begin.

Allah Almighty says:

﴿لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ﴾

“He neither begets nor is born.”

[Al-Ikhlas: 3]

Lam yalid wa lam yulad.

Explanation:

This means that Allah Almighty has no child, nor was He born, because He is the Creator and not a created being. He is the First, and there is nothing before Him.

Allah Almighty says:

﴿وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ﴾

“And there is none comparable to Him.”

[Al-Ikhlas: 4]

Wa lam yakun lahu kufuwan ahad.

Explanation:

This means that Allah Almighty has no equal, likeness, or equivalent. No one is comparable to Him in His essence, attributes, or actions.

Surah Al-Ikhlas in Full:

﴿قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ ۝ اللَّهُ الصَّمَدُ ۝ لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ ۝ وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ﴾

Please listen carefully to the audio recording and practice reciting the Surah.

All praise is due to Allah. The lesson is complete.
