He is everywhere and all powerful “ and He is with you wherever you …”

The theme of Surah Al Fussilat is Allah Himself
These verses speak of the sun and moon and day and night as the signs of Allah to
signify His wisdom and power
Allah is All powerful , the Creator of everything include sun and moon ,the night and
day , which also demonstrate that Allah is sole creator and source of all that exists
Quran says , “Behold ! In the creation of the heavens and the earth and the
alternation of Night and Day -- there are indeed signs for men of understanding”
3: 190)
All lifeless objects and the living creations have been created by Allah , so they are not
objects to be worshipped
It is illogical and foolish to hold the sun and moon worthy of to worship
Same belief is mentioned in Surah Al Anaam , in which the incident of Ibrahim (as) is
mentioned that he did not worship the planets while the whole society was idol
worshipping
Therefore, only Allah is liable to be worshipped alone , who is the Creator of living and
non –living things

unforgivable sin
The human are the best creation of Allah , therefore, we should not degrade
ourselves by worshipping the creations just like us or inferior to us .
We get a clear message from this verse not to bow down before sun , moon stars and
other objects like idols

All things belong to Him , whatever in the heavens and earth Quran says , “ Ask them ,
to whom belong s all that is in the heavens and on the earth ? say , To Allah “ ( 6
:12)

the Controller and the owner of the world .
We should not only worship to Him but also ask Him for everything instead of begging

1. Say: He is Allah, the one and only; 2. Allah, the eternal, absolute; 3. He does not beget, nor is
He begotten; 4. And there is none like Him.
a) Main Theme (s)
The theme of this surah is Allah in Himself
This surah was revealed as a reply to the questions of the non Muslims about the
nature of Allah that if He has created us than who created Him ,
These verses clearly signify the Oneness of Allah in His person , attributes , and in
commandments
At numerous places in the holy Quran , the concept of Taheed is elaborated such as
Ayat ul Kursi “Allah . There is no god but He “
This surah negates the idea of polytheism and destroys all assumptions of family
relations of Allah
Same theme is mentioned in surah Al Anaam which states that Allah does not have
wife and no concept of family and children
(b) Importance in daily life
We must not associate any son , daughter or wife to Him unlike the Quraish who
related Angels as Allah’s daughters and few non Muslims who relate some prophets to
Allah as His sons
Since everything is created by Him so we should not hold His creation equal to Him
The humans are the best creation therefore , we should not degrade ourselves by
worshipping the creation just like us or even inferior to us
We should avoid polytheism , if we have more than on God then our lives will be in a
state of confusion and disorder
This surah also give a powerful message , Haztat Anas (RA) reported the saying of
Prophet (saw) “If any one recites two hundred times daily “say , He is Allah , One “ the
sin of fifty years will be wiped out , unless he is in debt” (Tirmezi)
The Holy Prophet has declared it as one third of Quran
