In Surat al-Ikhlas with the reciter of the text *** May Allah preserve him, Say, O you who [are] with clarity (Why is Surat al-Ikhlas called by this name, and a discussion of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) combining al-Ikhlas and al-Kafirun in four places)

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"In Surat al-Ikhlas"
And it is
Say, "He is Allah, [who is] One, قل هو الله أحد
[Al-Ikhlas 112:1]
, and it was named so because it purifies its reciter from shirk (associating partners with Allah), and because Allah made it pure for Himself, so it contains nothing other than what pertains to His names and attributes.
"With the reciter of the text *** May Allah preserve him, Say, O you who [are] with clarity"
(may Allah have mercy on him), meaning with the surah that follows: When the help of Allah comes and the victory, and what is it?
(1) Say, "O disbelievers, (2) I do not worship what you worship. قل يا أيها الكافرون لا أعبد ما تعبدون
[Al-Kafirun 109:1-2]
.

The Shaykh : Yes?
The student: ...

The Shaykh : Yes, which one is better?
The student:
Say: O you disbelievers! قل يا أيها الكافرون


The Shaykh :"With the reciter of the text *** May Allah preserve him" The correct view is that it is with the one that follows.
The student: Huh?
The student: ...

The Shaykh : No, it is not an ascent; the Qur'an is recited as a descent.
The important point is that the author clarified this by saying: "Say, O you who", because what comes after al-Nasr is al-Tawbah, the one following al-Nasr is al-Tawbah, it is not Ya Ayyuha, so he (may Allah have mercy on him) clarified that the one following is, as you said, the opposite, meaning that the Qur'an would start from its end, so if the Qur'an starts from its end, the one that follows Surat al-Nasr is
Say: O you disbelievers! قل يا أيها الكافرون
.
Say: O you disbelievers! قل يا أيها الكافرون
contains practical, intentional tawhid (the oneness of Allah), because it says:
(1) Say, "O disbelievers, (2) I do not worship what you worship. قل يا أيها الكافرون لا أعبد ما تعبدون
[Al-Kafirun 109:1-2]
, so this is the tawhid of intention.
