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.
