The gold block is the tafsīr — what the āyah says, as the commentaries take it, oldest first, all together. Nothing is retyped: every quotation is cut from its edition by machine and checked against the source before this page may be written.
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
the sūrah opens with the basmala; in this numbering it is not counted as an āyah
قُلْ هُوَ ٱللَّهُ أَحَدٌ
qul huwa allahu aahadun
PickthallSay: He is Allah, the One!
Yusuf AliSay: He is Allah, the One and Only;
Muhammad Junagarhiآپ کہہ دیجئے کہ وه اللہ تعالیٰ ایک (ہی) ہے.
al-Muyassarتسمية السورة • سميت الإخلاص؛ لاشتمالها على توحيد الله سبحانه وتعالى، وإخلاصِ العبادة له، واللجوءِ إليه دون من سواه، وتنزيهه عن كلِّ نقص وشرك. من مقاصد السورة • إثبات تفرُّد الله تعالى بالألوهية والكمال، وتنزيهِه عن النظير والمثيل، وأنه لا يُقصَد في الحوائج غيرُه، والردُّ على من نسب إلى الله تعالى الوالدَ والولدَ. [التفسير] قل -أيها الرسول-: هو الله المتفرد بالألوهية والربوبية، والأسماء والصفات لا يشاركه أحد فيها.
