In Surah al-Ikhlas (112:1-2), Allah, Al-Ahad (The One and Only, The Unity), makes it clear to us that He is The One and Only deity, The Eternal, The Absolute. This surah is one of the often recited surahs of the Holy Qur’an after Surah al-Fatihah. It is also called Surah al-Tawhid due to the declaration of Allah’s Oneness and Unity. The word qul at the beginning means to “express this fact and tell others.” The Name Allah is a proper noun for “the Being Who exists necessarily, by Himself; comprising all the attributes of perfection; a proper name denoting the True God, containing all the excellent, Divine names; a unity having all the essence of existing things.” "This Sacred Name is mentioned in the Holy Qur'an almost one thousand times, which is more than any other name of His Holy Names. This name brings light in our heart, makes us firm and calm, and takes us into a world full of purity and serenity.” Allah is Only One, with no second to share in His Lordship, Essence and Attributes, the completely indivisible. The One which has no second. Imam Muhammad al-Baqir, peace be upon him, said: ‘“Ahad’ and ‘wahid’ both have one concept which is One with nothing comparable or similar to it, and monotheism is the confession to His Oneness.” Imam Husayn ibn Ali, peace be upon him, “stated five meanings for ‘samad'. 1. Samad is a Lord Whose Lordship has attained its utmost point or degree. 2. Samad is an Essence and Being that continues or continues for ever or is everlasting. 3. Samad is the Existence that has not a hollow inside. 4. Samad is the One Who takes no nourishment, food or drink. 5. Samad is One Who does not sleep.” (see An Enlightening Commentary into the Light of the Holy Qur’an, Vol. 20, compiled by a group of Muslim scholars, under the direction of Ayatullah Allamah Al-Hajj Sayyid Kamal Faqih Imani, Accessed from https://www.al-islam.org/enlightening-commentary-light-holy-quran-vol-20/surah-ikhlas-chapter-112
