Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Surat al-Ikhlas is equivalent to one-third of the Qur'an. Is it prescribed for a Muslim to recite it three times and then say that he has completed the recitation of the Qur'an?
Answer:
No. No one has said that. It is one-third of the Qur'an because it deals with tawhid (the oneness of Allah). The Qur'an consists of three sections: tawhid, legislation, and news. It is distinguished by the section of tawhid. This is the meaning of "one-third of the Qur'an." It does not suffice in place of reciting the entire Qur'an. Yes.
