Sourate 112

Houriya

Peace,

How do you understand the following chapter

In the name of God, the Almighty, the Merciful.
1121 Say "He is God, the One /ahadun,"
1122 "God, the Indivisible,"
1123 "He does not beget, nor was He begotten,"
1124 "And there is none / ahadun who is His equal."

God one, none, nothing, indivisible, infinite, unlimited..

He is encompassing all things (4154)

How to observe this truth in our life ?

Thank you for your comments

Peace Houriya,

I understand that

God is one (no other gods)
for "samad" we can find also those meanings solid, strong, resistant, something that do not die, to go up ( move on) to someone...
alsamadou, with the article al so I think God in the only one who is samad i;e that doesn't die, is eternal, the strong.
He doesn't have offspring like animals, human beings and He is not a child of someone. Allah does not beget, He creates.
No one, nothing is equal to Him, has his powers. We can't ask someone or something for something that only God can do. We can't create like Him, we only can make things from what God created/creates. We can't attribute to Him something that someone fabricated, we don't have to say God said this thing ( and turns out that it wasn't from Him).

I act as I understand those verses and try to never say Allah said that without checking the verse. Otherwise I say " I understand from the Koran that..." , I tend to say to someone "don't say what you're not sure about ..." or " I am not sure about it, you've heard it but one have to check". I ask God to forgive me because I can mistake. I don't say to someone " that is haram or hallal" without being sure.
I am a person who prefer to remain silent rather than to risk to say lies about God. I consider myself as someone who have a lot to learn and can have doubts.

Peace Fadiva, everyone,

Thank you very much for your comments and the link.

The first verse God is one

We mentally understand the meaning, concretely, how to live the unity of God?

Salam,

Ahad (أَحَد) in Arabic, and especially in Qur'an means any or none (negative), but not the single one or alone. It is exactly the meaning in verse
112.4 .وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُ كُفُواً أَحَدٌ
112.4 112.4 . And there is none comparable unto Him.

But in verse 112.1, this is different, it is a loan from the Jewish prayer Shema Yisrael
שְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ יְהוָה אֶחָֽד
Sh'ma Yisra'el, YHWH 'eloheinu, YHWH 'eḥad (pronounced Sh'ma Yisrael Adonai Eloheinu Adonai Eḥad)

which means "Hear, O Israel the LORD is our God, the LORD is One."

Compare in parallel with Qul Huwa Allāhu 'Aĥadun, Allāhu Aş-Şamadu

So Ahad in verse 112.1 is a linguistic calk of Hebrew 'ehad which indeed means alone or the One.

Peace,

Alquran is revealed in clear Arabic language, no need to use a foreign langage like Persian or Hebrew to understand it, God explains it.
