Why Did Allah Reveal Surah Al-Ikhlas?

Why did Allah reveal Surah Al-Ikhlas? This short chapter is one of the clearest and most powerful declarations of Tawhid in the Holy Quran. It answers the human attempt to describe Allah through created limits, lineage, comparison, and need. It reminds the believer that Allah is One, absolutely self-sufficient, without offspring, without origin, and without equal. In this reminder, we reflect on the meaning of Allah being Ahad, the depth of As-Samad, and why this chapter protects the heart from false attachments, confusion, and spiritual compromise.
