قُلۡ هُوَ ٱللَّهُ أَحَدٌ
Say, "He is AllŒh, [who is] One,[1]
1- Alone, without another, indivisible with absolute and permanent unity and distinct from all else. The one and only true deity, unique in His essence, attributes and deeds.
ٱللَّهُ ٱلصَّمَدُ
AllŒh, the Eternal Refuge.[1]
1- He who is absolute, perfect, complete, essential, self-sufficient and sufficient to meet the needs of all creation; the one eternally and constantly required and sought, depended upon by all existence and to whom all matters will ultimately return.
لَمۡ يَلِدۡ وَلَمۡ يُولَدۡ
He neither begets nor is born,
وَلَمۡ يَكُن لَّهُۥ كُفُوًا أَحَدُۢ
Nor is there to Him any equivalent."
