Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We received multiple questions, Your Eminence, Shaykh Salih. The first of these questions is from the questioner Abu 'Abdullah, who asks: What is the virtue of Surat al-Ikhlas? And what is the occasion of the revelation of this verse, along with an explanation of it?
Answer:
Surat al-Ikhlas is the surah of[Al-Ikhlas 112:1-4], because the polytheists asked the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) to describe their Lord for them, saying, "Describe your Lord to us." So Allah revealed this great surah, which is the greatest surah in the Book of Allah the Exalted. It is equivalent to one-third of the Qur'an, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said. Thus, it and Surat al-Fatihah are the two greatest surahs in the Book of Allah the Exalted. Yes.
