بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
قُلْ هُوَ ٱللَّهُ أَحَدٌ ١
1. Say, "He is Allāh, [who is] One,2011
[2011] 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 ٢
2. Allāh, the Eternal Refuge.2012
[2012] 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.
لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ ٣
3. He neither begets nor is born,
وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُۥ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌۢ ٤
4. Nor is there to Him any equivalent."
One verse of Surah Al-Ikhlas resembles other verses of the Quran: a classic trap when reciting from memory. The closest ones:
وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُۥ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌۢ
وَقُلِ ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِى لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ وَلَدًا وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُۥ شَرِيكٌ فِى ٱلْمُلْكِ وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُۥ وَلِىٌّ مِّنَ ٱلذُّلِّ وَكَبِّرْهُ تَكْبِيرًۢا
Recite what follows from memory. Next verse:
Read the portion while following a reciter, verse by verse, until you can say it without hesitation.
Repeat each verse several times with a pause to say it after the reciter, then join the verses together.
Hide one word in three, then two in three, then keep only the first letters, and finally the whole text.
Recite from memory: get tested on what follows a random verse, record yourself or recite to someone.
Come back to each portion the next day, then at longer and longer intervals, and review before learning something new.
