Surah Ikhlaas is the Touch Stone of Theology – Dr Zakir Naik
COG-9
Let’s discuss the Concept of God in Islam and the best reply that any Muslim can give you regarding the Concept of God in Islam is quote to you Surah Ikhlaas, Chapter No. 112 Verse No. 1 to 4 which says
“Qul Huwallaahu Ahad”,
“Say: He is Allah, One and Only”
“Allahus Samad”
“Allah, the Absolute and Eternal”
“Lam Yalid Wa Lam Yulad”
“He begetteth not, nor is He begotten”
“Walam Yakullahu Kufuan ‘Ahad”
“There is nothing like Him”
This is a four line definition of Allah (Subhanahu wa ta’ala), of Almighty God given in the Glorious Qur’an. If any person says that so and so entity is God, if that entity fits in this four line definition, we Muslims have got no objection in accepting that person as God.
The first is “Qul Huwallaahu Ahad”,
“Say: He is Allah, One and Only”
“Allahus Samad”
“Allah, the Absolute and Eternal”,
‘Samad’ cannot be described in the English language. It means a person who is self existing, he’s eternal, he’s absolute, everything is depended on him, He’s independent of anything and everything. It has a very broad meaning.
“Lam Yalid Wa Lam Yulad”
“He begetteth not, nor is He begotten”
“Walam Yakullahu Kufuan ‘Ahad”
“There is nothing like Him”
This Surah Ikhlaas is the Touchstone of Theology. ‘Theology’ means it comes from the Greek word ‘Theo’ meaning God, ‘Logy’ means study. Theology means the study of God. And Touchstone means if you want to buy Gold or want to sell God you normally go to a Goldsmith and you want to find out how pure that Gold is. So if you want to buy Gold, you go to a Goldsmith, he takes the Gold and he rubs it against the touchstone and he matches the colour with the card he has got and then he tells you whether the Gold is 24 Karat Gold or 22 Karat Gold or 18 Karat or it may not be Gold at all. Because everything that Glitters is not Gold. And that panel is also there in the exhibition, Surah Ikhlaas the ‘Touch stone of Theology’. So anyone who says that so and so person is God, you put him to the test of Surah Ikhlaas. If he passes the test, we Muslims have got no objection in accepting that person as Almighty God.
