The Agreement Between the Verse of Taking a Son and Surat al-Ikhlas

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

The questioner:
He says: May Allah bless you. What is the harmony between this verse and the verse in which He says:

⁽¹⁾ Say, "He is Allah, [who is] One, ⁽²⁾ Allah, the Eternal Refuge. ⁽³⁾ He neither begets nor is born,

قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ اللَّهُ الصَّمَدُ لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ

[Al-Ikhlas 112:1-3]

?

The Shaykh:
This surah is a response to them and a refutation of what they say. Say, O Muhammad, to all of creation, the jinn and mankind. Say, yes.

The presenter:

Say, "He is Allah, [who is] One,

قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ

[Al-Ikhlas 112:1]

.

The Shaykh:
He is Allah, the One. He is Allah, the One. One, with no partner. And He has no son. This is in response to what the polytheists said to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): "Describe our Lord for us." Allah revealed this to him. When the polytheists said to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), "Describe our Lord for us," Allah revealed this surah:

Say, "He is Allah, [who is] One,

قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ

[Al-Ikhlas 112:1]

⁽²⁾ Allah, the Eternal Refuge. ⁽³⁾ He neither begets nor is born, ⁽⁴⁾ Nor is there to Him any equivalent."

اللَّهُ الصَّمَدُ لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ

[Al-Ikhlas 112:2-4]

. And this surah is equivalent to one-third of the Qur'an; despite its brevity, it is equivalent to one-third of the Qur'an. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
