Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, Abu 'Abdullah, says: Shaykh Salih, what is the reason for the revelation of Surat al-Ikhlas? And what is its virtue? May Allah reward you.
Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, and may peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah, and upon his family and all his Companions. The reason for the revelation of Surat al-Ikhlas[Al-Ikhlas 112:1-4] is that they asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), saying to him: "Describe your Lord to us." So Allah revealed this surah. As for its virtue, it is a great virtue. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed us that it is equivalent to one-third of the Qur'an, because it is pure in tawhid (the oneness of Allah). The Qur'an consists of three sections: either news about the past and the future, or promises and warnings, or rulings, namely legal rulings. So it is pure in [tawhid], or the third type, which is tawhid; it is pure in tawhid. Yes.
