The surah is the ultimate declaration of divine oneness (tawheed): 'Say: He is Allah, the One. Allah, the Eternal (al-Samad). He neither begets nor is born, nor is there to Him any equivalent.' Reciting it equals one-third of the Quran in reward. Revealed in the early Meccan period when the polytheists of Quraysh asked the Prophet about the nature (lineage) of his Lord: 'O Muhammad, describe your Lord to us.' The Prophet was silent until this surah was revealed declaring: 'Say: He is Allah, the One (Ahad), Allah, the Eternal (al-Samad). He neither begets nor is born, nor is there to Him any equivalent.'

The surah is the ultimate declaration of divine oneness (tawheed): 'Say: He is Allah, the One. Allah, the Eternal (al-Samad). He neither begets nor is born, nor is there to Him any equivalent.'

The Prophet said: "Whoever swears by other than Allah has committed kufr or shirk."
[H]Associate any partner with Allah in worship (Shirk al-Akbar) — if died without
[H]Attribute a son or partner to Allah (Quran 19:88-92; Bukhari 4265) [bg:Revealed in Mecca recounting the stories of Zachariah, John the Baptist, Mary, Jesus, Abraham, Moses, Ishmael, and Idris. Revealed when the Quraysh delegation to the Christian king of Abyssinia (Negus) asked the Muslims about Jesus — the surah's account of Jesus's birth confirmed his prophethood while negating his divinity, leading the Negus to protect the Muslim refugees. Revealed in Mecca condemning those who claim Allah has taken a son (walad) — specifically the Christian belief that Jesus is the son of God, the Jewish claim that Ezra is the son of God, and the Quraysh claim that angels are Allah's daughters.]
[H]He neither begets nor is born, nor is there any equivalent to Him — Attribute any partner, offspring, or equal to Allah (Quran 112:3-4) [bg:Revealed in Mecca when the polytheists asked the Prophet about the lineage of his Lord. The surah is the ultimate declaration of divine oneness (tawheed): 'Say: He is Allah, the One. Allah, the Eternal (al-Samad). He neither begets nor is born, nor is there to Him any equivalent.' Reciting it equals one-third of the Quran in reward. Revealed in the early Meccan period negating false beliefs about Allah's nature: 'He neither begets nor is born, nor is there to Him any equivalent.' This refutes the Christian belief that Jesus is the son of God, the Jewish claim that Ezra was the son of God, and the Arab polytheists' belief that angels were Allah's daughters — establishing absolute divine transcendence.]
[H]Practice magic, sorcery, or fortune-telling. (Qur'an 2:102; Bukhari 5763)
[H]Seek intercession from the dead, saints, or graves — this is major shirk.
[H]Swear by other than Allah (e.g., "by the Kaaba," "by your father," "by my honor").
