Verses From The Qur’an:
“Say [O Muhammad]: He is Allah, (the) One.” (Qur’an 112:1)
Explanation:
- Allah is the One Who has no equal or partner.
- He is singled out in all forms of perfection. No one shares in His qualities of perfection.
- Ibn Katheer commented: “He is the One, the Singular, who has no peer, no assistant, no rival, no equal and none comparable to Him. This word (Al-Ahad) cannot be used for anyone in affirmation except Allah the Mighty and Majestic, because He is perfect in all of His attributes and actions.”
- Aishah said that the Prophet (SAW) sent (an army unit) under the command of a man who used to lead his companions in the prayers, and he would finish his recitation with “Say [O Muhammad]: He is Allah, The One.“ (Qur’an 112:1). When they returned (from the battle), they mentioned that to the Prophet (SAW). He said to them: “Ask him why he does so.” They asked him, and he replied: “I do so because it mentions the qualities of the Most Gracious, and I love to recite it (in my prayer).” The Prophet (SAW) said: “Tell him that Allah loves him.” (Bukhari)
- Abu Saeed al Khudri narrated that a man heard another man reciting (in the prayers): “Say [O Muhammad]: He is Allah, (the) One.“ (Qur’an 112:1), and he recited it repeatedly. When it was morning, he (the first man) went to the Prophet (SAW) and informed him about that, as if he considered that the recitation of that Surah by itself was not enough. Allah’s Messenger (pbuh) said: “By Him in Whose hand my life is, it is equal to one-third of the Quran.” (Bukhari)
Application:
- Knowing that Allah is the One and Only can inspire the servants of Allah to dedicate all of their worship solely to Allah and no other.
- By understanding this attribute of His, the worshippers of Allah are motivated to pray directly to Allah without including intercessors or associates, for verily Allah has no equal or partner, as He is the One.
