قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ
1. Qul huwallahu ahad
Say, “He is Allah, (who is) One.
Say, O Prophet, He is Allah, the only Lord, the only one Who deserves worship, and the only One who possesses Names and Attributes of beauty and perfection. No one shares with Him in these matters.

2. Allahus samad
Allah, the Eternal Refuge.

3. Lam yalid walam yoolad
He neither begets nor is born,
He has no son or daughter, father or mother, or companion.

4. Walam yakun lahu kufuwan ahad
Nor is there to Him any equivalent.”
Nothing in creation resembles Allah in any of His names, attributes, or actions.
Surah Al-Falaq
