Surah Al-Ikhlas is the ultimate declaration of Tawheed (divine oneness). Its profound four verses strip away all false human conceptions of God, presenting the Creator in absolute purity.
قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ اللَّهُ الصَّمَدُ لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ
“Say, ‘He is Allah, [who is] One. Allah, the Eternal Refuge. He neither begets nor is born, Nor is there to Him any equivalent.’” (Surah Al-Ikhlas 112:1-4)
