Qul: hu Allahu Ahad

Surah al-Ikhlas

Qul: hu Allahu Ahad Allahu Samad Lam yalid wa lam yulad Wa lam ya kulahu kufuwan Ahad. Say: He is Allah, the One and Only. Allah, the Eternal, Absolute He begetteth not, nor is He begotten And there is none like unto him.

This passage could be interpreted as a refutation of polytheism, or perhaps as a rejection of pagan reverence for the created (and ever-changing) world. In a Christian context, it likely reads as a reassertion of the Judaic singularity of YHWH in the wake of trinity doctrines or assertions of Jesus’ unique status as “begotten son” of God (see John 3:16).

Only one of its kind, written by Calligrapher Jasiya Kausar.
