00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,600
Have you ever wondered about 
this story behind one of the 

2
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:05,880
shortest yet most powerful 
chapters in the Quran? 

3
00:00:06,560 --> 00:00:09,120
I'm talking about Surah al 
iqlas. 

4
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:11,840
It's a chapter many of us recite
daily. 

5
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:15,000
But do you know the incredible 
story of its revelation? 

6
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,520
It all began when the 
polytheists of Makah, the 

7
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:22,320
Quraysh, approached Prophet 
Muhammad, peace be upon him. 

8
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,840
They were curious, maybe even a 
little defiant, and they asked 

9
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:31,320
him a direct question. 
They said, O Muhammad, describe 

10
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,880
your Lord to us. 
What is he made of? 

11
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:38,240
Is he of gold or silver? 
They wanted to understand the 

12
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:42,160
nature of the one God He was 
calling them to worship, using 

13
00:00:42,160 --> 00:00:44,040
their own materialistic 
standards. 

14
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,920
In that very moment, a divine 
answer came down. 

15
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,280
It wasn't a long, complicated 
explanation. 

16
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:55,520
It was a short, profound and 
definitive declaration from 

17
00:00:55,520 --> 00:01:00,920
Allah Himself. 
Surah Ali Klaas say He is Allah 

18
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,960
the one, Allah the eternal 
refuge. 

19
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:08,400
He neither begets nor is born, 
nor is there to Him any 

20
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,200
equivalent. 
In just four simple verses, 

21
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,160
Allah answered their questions 
and established the core 

22
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:18,200
principle of Tawid, the Oneness 
of God for all time. 

23
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:23,040
It teaches us that He is unique,
self-sufficient, and beyond any 

24
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,080
comparison. 
This beautiful chapter isn't 

25
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,800
just a response to a question 
from centuries ago. 

26
00:01:29,320 --> 00:01:32,520
It's a timeless reminder for all
of us about the purity and 

27
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,680
perfection of our creator. 
Thanks for watching.
