Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: (Say, He is Allah, the One)]
We begin this session by discussing Surat al-Ikhlas and whatever is facilitated from the surah that follows it. Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, says to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family): [Al-Ikhlas: 1] This address is to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and to the Ummah as well. (He is Allah, the One) The pronoun is the subject (mubtada') according to the grammarians, and the Name of Glory (Allah) is the predicate (khabar) of the subject, and (the One) is a second predicate, and (Allah, the Self-Sufficient) is a second sentence.
