Qur'anic Treasures Hidden in Surah Ikhlas (Purity) (Holy Qur'an 112:1-4)

Surah Fatiha (The Opening Chapter) of the Holy Qur'an is the important Surah of the Holy Qur'an and no Muslim prayer is complete without it. It is therefore the most repeated Surah of the Holy Qur'an. After the Surah Fatiha, Surah Ikhlas is the most important and most often repeated Surah of the Holy Qur'an. The importance of this Surah has been described in the following hadith of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)1:

"He (Abud Darda) reported God's messenger as saying, "Is any of you capable of reciting a third of the Qur'an in a night?" On being asked how they could recite a third of the Qur'an he replied, " 'Say, He is God, One' is equivalent to a third of the Qur'an." Muslim transmitted it, and Bukhari transmitted it from Abu Sa'id."

.May Allah be pleased with this statement & reward Abba's soul,which left us 17 years ago on this day..

My father,(late) Mr.Sultan Yar Khan, Advocate was a defense counsel in the famous INA Trial held during the British rule in India and due to his constant and dedicated selfless services to the people he was the first elected candidate from Ballimaran Assembly constituency to the first Delhi Legislative Assembly..My father was Congressman but since the infamous events during the Emergency era he began to drift away from the party and I saw tears in his eyes when during the Congress rule at the Centre Babri Masjid was demolished in open daylight. He died on Jumma,17 Muharram,1416 A.H.
