00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.000
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:07.599
The summary of the Tafsir of al-Tabari.

00:00:07.599 --> 00:00:12.789
Abridged by Dr. 'Aqil Ibn Salim al-Shammari.

00:00:12.789 --> 00:00:18.739
Surah al-Ikhlas.

00:00:18.739 --> 00:00:21.739
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

00:00:21.739 --> 00:00:23.739
“Say: He is Allah, the One!” (112:1)

00:00:23.739 --> 00:00:26.739
Allah is the Eternal Refuge.

00:00:26.739 --> 00:00:28.739
“He begetteth not nor was begotten.” (112:3)

00:00:28.739 --> 00:00:32.740
“And there is none comparable unto Him.” (112:4)

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.

00:00:40.500 --> 00:00:44.500
So Allah revealed this surah as an answer to them.

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:

00:00:51.729 --> 00:00:54.729
The Lord about whom you have asked me,

00:00:54.729 --> 00:00:57.729
Is Allah, to whom belongs the worship of all things.

00:00:57.729 --> 00:01:00.729
Worship is not appropriate for any but Him.

00:01:00.729 --> 00:01:02.729
And it is not fitting for anything other than Him.

00:01:02.729 --> 00:01:06.730
He is the Worshipped One, to whom alone worship is due.

00:01:06.730 --> 00:01:09.730
The Master to whom all turn for their needs.

00:01:09.730 --> 00:01:11.730
He above whom there is no one.

00:01:11.730 --> 00:01:13.730
He is not perishable.

00:01:13.730 --> 00:01:17.730
For everything that begets is perishable and subject to passing away.

00:01:17.730 --> 00:01:21.730
And He is not a created being that did not exist and then came into being.

00:01:21.730 --> 00:01:26.730
For everything born only exists after having not existed.

00:01:26.730 --> 00:01:29.730
And it came into being after it was non-existent.

00:01:29.730 --> 00:01:33.730
But His remembrance is eternal and has always been.

00:01:33.730 --> 00:01:36.730
And He is everlasting, having no beginning.

00:01:36.730 --> 00:01:38.730
He does not cease to be, nor does He perish.

00:01:38.730 --> 00:01:42.730
And He has no likeness and no equal.

00:01:42.730 --> 00:01:49.549
