Surah Al Ikhlas is the 112th chapter of the Qur’an, consisting of four verses. It is a powerful declaration of the oneness and uniqueness of Allah. The Surah affirms that Allah is the One and Only, eternal and self-sufficient, not born nor giving birth, and that there is nothing comparable to Him.

Often referred to as the “Purity of Faith,” Surah Al Ikhlas encapsulates the essence of Tawhid (the concept of monotheism in Islam). Reciting this Surah is believed to be equivalent to reciting one-third of the Qur’an, emphasizing its profound significance in Islamic belief.

Surah Al Ikhlas Arabic Text

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ
اللَّهُ الصَّمَدُ
لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ
وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ

Surah Al Ikhlas with English Translation

In the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful.
Say, He is Allah, [Who is] One,
Allah, the Eternal Refuge.
He neither begets nor is born,
Nor is there to Him any equivalent.
