00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:07,599
The summary of the Tafsir of al-Tabari.

3
00:00:07,599 --> 00:00:12,789
Abridged by Dr. 'Aqil Ibn Salim al-Shammari.

4
00:00:12,789 --> 00:00:18,739
Surah al-Ikhlas.

5
00:00:18,739 --> 00:00:21,739
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

6
00:00:21,739 --> 00:00:23,739
“Say: He is Allah, the One!” (112:1)

7
00:00:23,739 --> 00:00:26,739
Allah is the Eternal Refuge.

8
00:00:26,739 --> 00:00:28,739
“He begetteth not nor was begotten.” (112:3)

9
00:00:28,739 --> 00:00:32,740
“And there is none comparable unto Him.” (112:4)

10
00:00:32,740 --> 00:00:40,500
It is mentioned that the polytheists asked the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, about the lineage of the Lord of Might.

11
00:00:40,500 --> 00:00:44,500
So Allah revealed this surah as an answer to them.

12
00:00:44,500 --> 00:00:51,729
Say, O Muhammad, to these people who ask about the lineage of your Lord, His attributes, and His creation:

13
00:00:51,729 --> 00:00:54,729
The Lord about whom you have asked me,

14
00:00:54,729 --> 00:00:57,729
Is Allah, to whom belongs the worship of all things.

15
00:00:57,729 --> 00:01:00,729
Worship is not appropriate for any but Him.

16
00:01:00,729 --> 00:01:02,729
And it is not fitting for anything other than Him.

17
00:01:02,729 --> 00:01:06,730
He is the Worshipped One, to whom alone worship is due.

18
00:01:06,730 --> 00:01:09,730
The Master to whom all turn for their needs.

19
00:01:09,730 --> 00:01:11,730
He above whom there is no one.

20
00:01:11,730 --> 00:01:13,730
He is not perishable.

21
00:01:13,730 --> 00:01:17,730
For everything that begets is perishable and subject to passing away.

22
00:01:17,730 --> 00:01:21,730
And He is not a created being that did not exist and then came into being.

23
00:01:21,730 --> 00:01:26,730
For everything born only exists after having not existed.

24
00:01:26,730 --> 00:01:29,730
And it came into being after it was non-existent.

25
00:01:29,730 --> 00:01:33,730
But His remembrance is eternal and has always been.

26
00:01:33,730 --> 00:01:36,730
And He is everlasting, having no beginning.

27
00:01:36,730 --> 00:01:38,730
He does not cease to be, nor does He perish.

28
00:01:38,730 --> 00:01:42,730
And He has no likeness and no equal.

29
00:01:42,730 --> 00:01:49,549
The summary of the Tafsir of al-Tabari.
