In this episode, Maulana Syed Abul Ala Maududi explores Surah Al-Ikhlas, a short yet profound Makkan chapter that defines the concept of pure monotheism (Tawheed) in Islam.
This episode covers:
• The oneness of Allah, affirming that He is the absolute and unique deity
• The self-sufficiency of Allah, emphasizing that He depends on no one, while all depend on Him
• The rejection of all forms of polytheism, making it clear that Allah has no partners or equals
• The denial of any lineage or offspring, countering false beliefs about God having children
• The importance of sincerity in faith, as this Surah encapsulates the foundation of Islamic belief
Surah Al-Ikhlas is often described as equal to one-third of the Qur’an due to its comprehensive message of divine unity. It is a declaration of faith that refutes all misconceptions about Allah and calls for sincere devotion to Him alone.
